Questions & Answers about همهی وسایل این اتاق به جز لوستر سنتی است.
How does be joz work here, and does it need an ezafe to connect to lustr?
be joz means "except" or "apart from". It is a preposition used to exclude something from a group. When speaking, it usually takes an ezafe (pronounced be joz-e lustr) to connect it to the following noun, even though the ezafe isn't explicitly written in the Farsi script.
The word vasâyel (furniture/items) is plural. Why is the verb ast (is) singular?
In Farsi, plural inanimate objects (things that are not people or animals) usually take a singular verb. Since vasâyel refers to inanimate items, using the singular verb ast is grammatically correct and the most natural way to say it.
I previously learned the word vasile for "item" or "device". Is vasâyel related to it?
Yes, vasâyel is the plural form of vasile. It is a "broken plural" borrowed from Arabic, meaning the word changes its internal structure rather than just adding a regular Farsi plural suffix like -hâ. In contexts like this room, vasâyel often translates collectively to "furniture", "belongings", or "equipment".
How is the word sonnati (traditional) formed?
It is made by taking the noun sonnat (tradition) and adding the suffix -i. Adding -i to the end of a noun is one of the most common ways to turn a noun into an adjective in Farsi.
