Questions & Answers about آیا رستوران شب باز است؟
Why isn't there a word for "at" before شب (shab)?
In Farsi, you usually do not need a preposition like "at" or "in" when talking about general times of day. You just use the word شب (shab) on its own to mean "at night".
Why is the time word شب (shab) placed right after the subject?
Farsi sentence structure is flexible, but time words like شب (shab) typically come early in the sentence, usually right after the subject (رستوران). Remember that the verb است (ast) must still go at the very end.
Do I always have to use آیا (âyâ) to ask a yes/no question?
No, آیا (âyâ) is mostly used in written or more formal Farsi. In everyday spoken Farsi, you can just drop it and ask رستوران شب باز است؟ by simply raising the pitch of your voice at the end.
How would a native speaker say باز است (bâz ast) in casual conversation?
In everyday spoken Farsi, the "is" verb است (ast) usually attaches to the word before it and is pronounced like "e". So, instead of saying باز است (bâz ast), people will typically say بازه (bâz-e).
