Questions & Answers about این کیف سبک و خیلی راحته.
Why is there an ـه attached to the end of راحت?
This is the reduced, conversational form of است (is). Because the word راحت (râhat) ends in a consonant, the "is" turns into a short "e" sound and is written attached to the word as ـه. So, راحته is the colloquial way to say راحت است (is comfortable).
Why is the "is" verb only at the end of the sentence? Shouldn't there be one after سبک (light)?
In Farsi, when you connect two adjectives with "and" that apply to the same subject, you only need to use the "to be" verb once at the very end. Saying این کیف سبک است و خیلی راحت است would sound unnatural and repetitive, so the first "is" is simply dropped.
How should I pronounce the و (and) in this sentence?
In everyday, conversational Farsi, the conjunction و is usually pronounced as a quick "o" sound rather than "va". It flows smoothly from the previous word, so instead of "sabok va", you will hear "sabok-o".
Can I use سبک to say this bag is a "light" color?
No, سبک (sabok) only refers to physical weight. If you wanted to say the bag is a light color (like light brown or light blue), you would use the word روشن (roshan).
