Questions & Answers about این چای سرد است، پس قهوه میخواهم.
The lesson is about conjunctions like va (and) and ammâ (but). Is پس (pas) also a conjunction here?
Yes! پس (pas) means "so" or "therefore". Just like va and ammâ, it connects two parts of a sentence. Here, it shows that wanting coffee is the direct result of the tea being cold.
Why is the word من (man - I) missing before قهوه میخواهم (qahveh mikhâham)?
In Farsi, subject pronouns are usually dropped because the verb ending already tells you who is doing the action. The -am ending on میخواهم (mikhâham) clearly means "I want", making the word من (man) unnecessary.
Why does the Farsi sentence say "coffee I want" (قهوه میخواهم) instead of "I want coffee"?
Farsi is a Subject-Object-Verb language, meaning the verb almost always goes at the very end of its clause. After the conjunction پس (pas), we start a new clause, so the object قهوه (qahveh) comes first, and the verb میخواهم (mikhâham) goes at the end.
I learned that describing words come after the noun. Why does این (in - this) come before چای (chây - tea)?
You are right that normal adjectives come after the noun, but pointing words like این (in - this) and آن (ân - that) are exceptions. They always come right before the noun they refer to.
