امروز هوا آفتابی و گرم است.

From Lesson 44:Might (shâyad)·Farsi

Questions & Answers about امروز هوا آفتابی و گرم است.

Why is there no word for 'the' before havâ?
Farsi does not have a direct equivalent for the English definite article 'the'. The word havâ stands on its own and is understood as 'the weather' based on the context of the sentence.
How is the adjective âftâbi formed?
It is made by adding the suffix -i to the noun âftâb, which means sun or sunlight. Adding -i to the end of a noun is a very common way to build an adjective in Farsi.
Why does the word ast appear at the very end of the sentence?
Farsi sentences generally follow a Subject-Object-Verb word order. This means the main verb is placed at the end of the sentence, even for simple linking verbs like ast.
Does havâ only mean weather?
havâ is a versatile word that can mean weather, air, or atmosphere. Here, because it is paired with the adjectives âftâbi and garm, it clearly refers to the weather.
