Questions & Answers about این بیمه برای هزینههای پزشکی است.
How do the plural suffix and the ezāfe connector combine in هزینههای (hazineh-hā-ye)?
The root word is هزینه (hazineh), meaning 'cost'. First, to make it plural, we add ها (hā), becoming هزینهها (hazineh-hā). Then, to link it to the adjective پزشکی (pezeshki, medical), we use the ezāfe connector. Because ها ends in a long vowel, the ezāfe takes the form of a 'y' sound, written with the letter ی. Altogether it is pronounced hazineh-hā-ye.
How is the word پزشکی (pezeshki) built to mean 'medical'?
It is an adjective formed from the noun پزشک (pezeshk), which means 'doctor' or 'physician'. Adding the suffix ی (-i) to a noun is a very common Farsi pattern used to turn a noun into a related descriptive adjective.
Is it normal for the verb است (ast) to be placed after the prepositional phrase?
Yes, Farsi standard word order places the verb at the very end of the sentence. Prepositional phrases like برای هزینههای پزشکی (for medical costs) generally come right before the verb. The literal order here is 'This insurance for medical costs is'.
Do you pronounce the final letter ه in words like بیمه (bimeh) and هزینه (hazineh) as an 'h' sound?
No, it does not make a consonant 'h' sound here. When ه appears at the very end of words like these, it is a 'silent h' that simply acts as a vowel, representing the short 'e' sound. So بیمه is pronounced bee-meh and هزینه is ha-zee-neh.
