Questions & Answers about در خوشنویسی، اکثر نقطهها مهم هستند.
Why do we use the ezâfe in aksar-e instead of az to mean "most of"?
While phrases like ba'zi az (some of) and besyâri az (many of) use the preposition az, the word aksar (majority/most) connects directly to its noun using the ezâfe. Think of aksar-e noghte-hâ as meaning "the majority of the dots".
Does the noun following aksar-e always need to be plural?
Yes! Unlike numbers which take a singular noun in Farsi, quantitative phrases like aksar-e (most of), ba'zi az (some of), and besyâri az (many of) require the noun to be plural when referring to countable things. That is why we use noghte-hâ (dots) instead of just noghte.
Dots are inanimate objects. Why does noghte-hâ take the plural verb hastand instead of the singular ast?
You likely remember that plural inanimate subjects usually take a singular verb in Farsi. However, when you want to emphasize the individual, distinct pieces within that group—like the specific, carefully placed dots in calligraphy—it is perfectly natural to use a plural verb.
How is the word khoshnevisi (calligraphy) formed?
It is a compound noun made from khosh (good/pleasant) and nevisi (writing). Farsi frequently builds words for arts, professions, or habits by combining an adjective or noun with a verb root and adding the -i suffix.
