Questions & Answers about آیا طناب قوی را آوردید؟
Why do we use آیا (âya) at the beginning of this sentence?
آیا is a question word used to turn a statement into a yes/no question. While in spoken Farsi, people usually just change their tone of voice to ask a question, آیا is often used in writing or formal speech to make it clear right away that a question is being asked.
How do we connect 'rope' (طناب) and 'strong' (قوی)?
Like most adjectives in Farsi, 'strong' comes after the noun it describes. They are connected by the ezafe vowel (an 'e' sound). Even though it is not written, you pronounce it as tanâb-e qavi.
Why is را (râ) placed after طناب قوی?
را marks the definite direct object of the sentence. Because you are asking about a specific rope ('the strong rope' rather than just 'a strong rope'), we need را. Notice that it comes immediately after the entire noun phrase, which includes the adjective.
What is the root of the verb آوردید (âvardid)?
The verb آوردید is in the simple past tense, meaning 'you brought'. It comes from the infinitive آوردن (âvardan - to bring). The ending ـید (-id) shows it is for the second person plural ('you all') or formal singular ('you').
