Questions & Answers about دهمین سوال خیلی سخت است.
Why is there no Ezafe (the "e" connecting sound) between دهمین and سوال?
Because ordinal numbers that end in -omin (Type 2 ordinals) always come right before the noun, and they do not use an Ezafe to connect. You just say dahomin so'al, never "dahomin-e so'al".
Could I say سوال دهم instead of دهمین سوال?
Yes! If you use the Type 1 ordinal دهم (dahom), it comes after the noun and needs an Ezafe, making it so'al-e dahom. Both forms mean exactly the same thing, but دهمین سوال emphasizes the number slightly more.
Does سخت only mean "hard" as in "difficult"?
No, سخت is a great double-purpose word. Just like in English, it can mean "difficult" (like a hard question) or it can describe something that is physically hard or solid (like a rock).
Why does است come at the very end of the sentence?
Farsi places the main verb at the very end of the sentence. Here, we start with the subject (دهمین سوال), follow it with the description (خیلی سخت), and finish with the verb (است).
