Questions & Answers about لباسی و دستکشی داخل حیاط هستند.
How do the words lebāsi and dastkeši mean "a dress" and "a glove"?
By adding the indefinite suffix -i to the end of a noun, it means "a", "an", or "some". Here, lebās (dress) becomes lebāsi (a dress), and dastkeš (glove) becomes dastkeši (a glove).
Can I use the number one (yek) instead of the -i ending?
Yes! You can say yek lebās instead of lebāsi. In spoken Farsi, it is also very common to use both together: yek lebāsi. All of these translate to "a dress".
Why is the verb hastand (they are) plural if "a dress" and "a glove" are just singular items?
Even though each item has the singular indefinite -i ending, there are two separate subjects joined by va (and). Because the total subject (a dress + a glove) is plural, the verb takes the 3rd person plural form hastand (they are).
How does dāxel connect to hayāt?
They are connected by the invisible Ezafe vowel (-e). When a position word like dāxel (inside) is followed by a noun, it needs this linking sound. So you pronounce it dāxel-e hayāt (inside of the yard).
Is dastkeš made of two different words?
Yes! It literally means hand-puller. It comes from dast (hand) and the root of the verb for pulling (keš). It is a helpful way to remember the Farsi word for glove!
