Questions & Answers about این توتهای وحشی خوردنی و خیلی خوشمزه هستند.
How is the word khordani formed to mean edible?
It uses the pattern taught in this lesson: the full infinitive khordan (to eat) plus the suffix -i. Adding this suffix to an infinitive creates an adjective describing something's capability or fitness. It literally turns "to eat" into "eatable" or edible.
Why is in used for these instead of a plural demonstrative?
In Farsi, when demonstratives like in (this) or ān (that) act as adjectives right before a noun, they never take a plural marker. The noun itself gets the plural suffix (like the -hā in tut-hā), but the demonstrative remains singular.
Why is there an extra 'ye' sound between tut-hā and vahshi?
That is the ezāfe linking the noun (berries) to its adjective (wild). Because the plural suffix -hā ends in a long 'a' vowel, Farsi requires a consonant 'y' sound (-ye) to smoothly bridge the pronunciation gap to the next word, which is written with the letter ی.
Is khoshmazeh a compound word?
Yes! It is built from khosh (good or pleasant) and mazeh (taste). Combining them creates a very common adjective that literally means "good-tasting" or delicious.
