Questions & Answers about کدام کشور یکی از توریستیترین کشورهای آسیا است؟
How does the "one of the most" structure work in this sentence?
It starts with یکی از meaning "one of". Next comes the superlative adjective توریستیترین meaning "most touristic", followed by the plural noun کشورهای meaning "countries". Notice that in Farsi, superlative adjectives ending in ترین are placed before the noun they describe, rather than after it like normal adjectives.
Why don't we use an ezafe linking vowel between توریستیترین and کشورهای?
When a superlative adjective ending in ترین comes directly before a noun, you do not use an ezafe to connect them. You just place توریستیترین right next to کشورهای.
Why is the letter ی added to the end of کشورها?
The base plural noun is کشورها meaning "countries". Because it is followed by آسیا to mean "countries of Asia", it requires the linking sound known as ezafe. Since کشورها ends in a long vowel, the ezafe must be written with the consonant ی so it can be pronounced smoothly as ye.
How is the adjective توریستیترین formed?
It is built from the borrowed word توریست meaning "tourist". Adding the suffix ی turns the noun into the adjective توریستی meaning "touristic". Finally, adding the superlative suffix makes it "most touristic".
