Questions & Answers about کامپیوترها داخل کلاس است.
How do we make the word for 'computer' plural here?
We use the regular plural marker ها (-hâ). You just add it directly to the end of the noun کامپیوتر (computer) to make کامپیوترها (computers). This suffix can be attached to almost any noun in Farsi to make it plural.
Since 'computers' is plural, why does the sentence end with است (is) instead of a plural verb like 'are'?
This is a very important Farsi rule! When the subject of a sentence is inanimate (not a living thing, like computers, books, or cars), the verb is usually kept in the singular form. So, Farsi speakers literally say 'The computers is inside the classroom'.
How do we link the words 'inside' (داخل) and 'classroom' (کلاس) when speaking?
Even though it is not written in the Farsi script, you must pronounce a short 'e' sound between them: dâkhel-e kelâs. This invisible linking sound is called the ezâfe. It acts a bit like the English word 'of', connecting the position (inside) to the place (the class).
Are the Farsi words for 'computer' and 'class' just the English words?
Yes! کامپیوتر (kâmpyûter) and کلاس (kelâs) are loanwords. Farsi has adopted many modern terms from French and English, so you already have a head start on this vocabulary.
