Questions & Answers about اسبشان داخل خیابان نیست.
How do we say 'their horse' in this sentence?
The word for horse is اسب (asb). To say 'their', we attach the plural possessive ending ـشان (-eshân) directly to the end of the noun, making it اسبشان (asb-eshân).
Since the sentence is about 'their' horse, why is the verb نیست (is not) singular?
The subject of the sentence is the horse (اسب), which is singular. Even though it belongs to multiple people, there is only one horse, so we use the third-person singular verb نیست (is not).
How does the word داخل (inside/in) connect to خیابان (street)?
They are connected by the invisible 'e' sound called Ezafe. When you say 'in the street', it is pronounced 'dâkhel-e khiyâbân'. Even though the 'e' isn't written out, you must say it to link the position word to the place.
Could I use در (dar) instead of داخل (dâkhel) here?
Yes, you can. Both در خیابان (dar khiyâbân) and داخل خیابان (dâkhel-e khiyâbân) are correct ways to say 'in the street'. داخل slightly emphasizes being 'inside' the bounds of the street, but they are mostly used interchangeably. Just remember that در does not use the Ezafe 'e' connector.
