Learn Farsi: رستوران بزرگ داخل هتل جدید است. - The big restaurant is inside the new hotel.

The Ezafe is a short "e" sound that connects words, but it is almost never written in the Farsi script! You just have to know to pronounce it. In this sentence, there are actually three: resturaan-e bozorg, daakhel-e hotel, and hotel-e jadid.

Why is the adjective placed after the noun (like resturaan-e bozorg)?

In Farsi, the noun comes first, followed by the adjective that describes it. The invisible Ezafe particle (the "e" sound) acts as the bridge between them. So instead of "big restaurant", Farsi says resturaan-e bozorg (literally "restaurant-of big"). The exact same rule applies to hotel-e jadid (the new hotel).

Does the word daakhel (inside) also use an Ezafe here?

Yes, it does! The Ezafe particle isn't only for linking nouns to adjectives. It is also used to connect many location words (like daakhel) to the noun they refer to. So, "inside the hotel" is pronounced daakhel-e hotel.

I don't see a word for "the" in this sentence. How do we know it's "the big restaurant" and not "a big restaurant"?

Farsi does not have a separate word for "the". A noun can be understood as definite (the) or indefinite (a/an) based entirely on the context. Here, we are talking about specific places, so it translates naturally to "the big restaurant" and "the new hotel" in English.

Why is the word (is) at the very end?
