Questions & Answers about قابا رو کجا گذاشتی؟
How does the word قابا show the plural 'frames'?
The singular word for frame is قاب. In formal written Farsi, the plural is قابها. In spoken Tehrani Farsi, when a word ends in a consonant like ب, the plural suffix ها drops the 'h' sound and becomes just ا (ā). That makes it قابا.
Why is the plural ending ا physically attached to the word in قابا?
Because the Farsi letter ب connects to the letter that follows it. When the colloquial plural suffix ا replaces ها, it acts like a normal vowel letter and connects directly to the preceding consonant, changing the spelling from قابها to قابا.
I see رو instead of را. Is that normal for spoken Farsi?
Yes! رو is the standard colloquial form of the specific direct object marker را. Since 'the frames' are a specific object being acted upon, they need this marker. You will almost always hear رو instead of را in everyday conversation after a word ending in a vowel sound like قابا.
What is the infinitive of the verb گذاشتی?
The infinitive is گذاشتن (to put or to place). Here it is in the simple past tense. We take the past stem گذاشت and add the personal ending ی for the informal 'you' (singular).
