Questions & Answers about پروژهی جدید کمترین کیفیت را دارد.
How does the word kamtarin work as a superlative here?
The word kamtarin is the superlative form of kam (little or few). By adding the regular ending -tarin, it literally means the least. In this sentence, it naturally translates to the lowest when talking about quality.
Why does kamtarin come before keyfiyat (quality)? I thought adjectives come after nouns.
Regular adjectives do come after the noun, just like jadid (new) follows proje (project). However, superlative adjectives ending in -tarin are a major exception: they always come directly before the noun they describe and do not use the ezāfe connecting sound.
Why is there an extra letter ی attached to the word proje (پروژهی)?
The word proje ends with a silent letter ه (heh). When we link it to the adjective jadid using the ezāfe connector, words ending in a silent ه require an extra ی (ye) in writing to carry that connecting sound, making it proje-ye jadid.
Why is the word rā (را) needed in this sentence?
The word rā marks a specific direct object. The project has something specific: kamtarin keyfiyat (the lowest quality). Because it is a specific, defined object of the verb dārad (has), we must put right after it.
