Questions & Answers about آیا در این کافه قهوهی طعمدار میفروشند؟
How does the suffix -dâr work in the word طعمدار?
The suffix -dâr comes from the present stem of the verb داشتن (to have). When attached to the noun طعم (taste or flavor), it creates the adjective طعمدار which literally means 'having flavor' or 'flavored'.
Why is the verb میفروشند (they sell) plural when there is no specific 'they' mentioned?
Just like in English, Farsi often uses the third-person plural to describe a general or impersonal action. Here, it translates to 'Do they sell...' referring generally to the cafe staff or establishment without needing to explicitly say آنها (they).
Why is there a 'ye' added to the end of قهوه (qahve)?
That is the ezâfe linking the noun قهوه (coffee) to its modifying adjective طعمدار (flavored). Because the word قهوه ends in a silent 'eh' vowel sound, the ezâfe is pronounced as 'ye' and often written with the letter ی.
Is the question word آیا (âyâ) required to ask this question?
No, آیا is generally used in written or formal Farsi. In everyday spoken Farsi, you would usually drop it completely and just rely on a rising tone of voice at the end of the sentence to show it is a question.
