Questions & Answers about عشق واقعی رابطهای است که خیلی زیبا است.
Why is there an ای at the end of رابطهای?
This is the indefinite marker -i, meaning 'a' or 'an', attached to the noun رابطه (relationship). Because the word ends in a silent 'h' sounding like a short 'e', we add the Alef before the Ya to make it ای so it flows nicely. In this sentence, it signals we are talking about 'a relationship' right before describing it in detail.
How does که connect the two parts of this sentence?
The word که (ke) acts as a bridge meaning 'that', 'which', or 'who'. It connects the main idea ('True love is a relationship') with the relative clause describing it ('that is very beautiful'). Whenever you use a noun with the indefinite marker like رابطهای followed directly by که, it is the classic Farsi way to set up a descriptive clause!
How is 'true love' put together here, and why is there no verb between the two words?
'True love' is عشق واقعی (eshgh-e vaghe'i). The invisible 'e' sound, called the Ezhafe, connects the noun عشق (love) to its adjective واقعی (true or real). It forms a single subject phrase together. The verb for this subject is the first است (ast) that comes a little later.
Why do we use است twice in this sentence?
