Questions & Answers about لپتاپها خیلی سنگین است.
How is the plural made in the word لپتاپها?
The suffix ها (hâ) is added to the end of the noun لپتاپ (laptop) to make it plural. The suffix ها is the most common regular plural marker in Farsi and can be attached to almost any noun.
Why does the sentence use the singular verb است (is) when talking about multiple laptops?
In Farsi, when the subject of a sentence is inanimate (a thing or object, not a person), the verb is almost always singular. Since لپتاپها (laptops) are objects, we use the singular verb است (is) instead of the plural هستند (are).
Does the adjective سنگین (heavy) need a plural ending to match the laptops?
No. In Farsi, adjectives do not change to match plural subjects. You just use the standard dictionary form of the adjective. So, سنگین stays exactly the same whether you are describing one laptop or twenty.
Is the word لپتاپ just the English word "laptop"?
Yes! It is a direct loanword from English. Farsi borrows many modern technology words from English. As you can see in this sentence, these borrowed words follow standard Farsi grammar rules, like taking the regular plural marker ها.
