Questions & Answers about این ردیف حدود چهل صندلی دارد.
Does حدود need an ezafe to connect to the number?
Yes, it does. When you use حدود (meaning "about" or "limits of") before a number, you must connect it with an ezafe. So it is pronounced hodud-e chehel (about forty).
Could I use تقریباً (taghriban) instead of حدود here?
Yes, you could say تقریباً چهل صندلی. However, unlike حدود, the word تقریباً is an adverb and does not take an ezafe. You just place it right before the number.
Why is صندلی (seat) in the singular form when there are forty of them?
In Farsi, a noun that comes immediately after a number always remains in the singular form. Even though in English we say "forty seats", in Farsi it is always چهل صندلی (forty seat), never چهل صندلیها.
The verb is دارد (darad). Would this sound different in everyday spoken Farsi?
Yes. دارد (darad) is the written or formal form. In everyday conversational Farsi, people usually drop the final sound and say داره (dare).
