Questions & Answers about کدام کوه بلندترین قله را دارد؟
Why is there no Ezafe between boland-tarīn and qolleh?
Normal adjectives come after the noun and require an Ezafe to link them (for example, qolleh-ye boland for "tall peak"). However, superlative adjectives ending in -tarīn are an exception. They come before the noun they describe, and you never use an Ezafe between them.
Why is the direct object marker rā placed after qolleh?
rā marks a specific direct object, and it must go at the very end of the entire noun phrase. In this sentence, the direct object of the verb dārad (has) is the whole phrase "the tallest peak" (boland-tarīn qolleh). Therefore, rā is attached to the very end of that phrase.
Do you need to use a plural noun or an Ezafe after kodām (which)?
No to both! Question words like kodām sit directly in front of the noun they modify without an Ezafe. Additionally, the noun following it is kept singular (kūh, not the plural kūh-hā), which perfectly matches the English structure "which mountain".
I've seen boland used for sounds. Does it mean both "loud" and "tall"?
Yes, it does! Depending on the context, boland can mean "tall" or "high" (like in this sentence regarding a mountain), but when talking about sound or volume, it translates to "loud".
