Questions & Answers about نهمین خیابان شلوغ است.
Why does nahomin come before khiyābān instead of after it?
This is the special rule for ordinal numbers ending in -omin. While regular adjectives in Farsi usually come after the noun, these Type 2 ordinals always go right before the noun they describe.
Do I need to pronounce an Ezafe (the connecting sound) between nahomin and khiyābān?
No, you do not. When a Type 2 ordinal like nahomin comes before a noun, the Ezafe is not used. You simply say nahomin khiyābān as two separate words without linking them with an 'e' sound.
How do we build the word nahomin from the basic number nine?
The Farsi word for nine is noh. To make it an ordinal, you first add the suffix -om to get nohom (the Type 1 ordinal). Then you add -in to get nahomin, the Type 2 ordinal used before nouns. Notice how the vowel sound shifts slightly from the 'o' in noh to the 'a' in nahomin to make it flow better when speaking.
Can shologh mean both crowded with people and busy with traffic?
Yes! shologh is a very common and versatile word. When describing a street (khiyābān), it usually means it has heavy traffic or is bustling with activity. It can be used for busy shops, crowded rooms, or even generally noisy situations.
