Questions & Answers about مظنون فک محکمی شبیه ببر دارد.
Can I use mesl-e or mânand-e instead of shabih-e in this sentence?
Yes! All three expressions work to say 'like a tiger'. shabih-e specifically emphasizes that something physically looks 'similar to' something else, which is a perfect choice for describing someone's jaw. You could absolutely say mesl-e babr or mânand-e babr as well.
How does shabih connect to the word for tiger?
By using the ezafe vowel (the hidden 'e' sound). To say 'similar to a tiger', you connect the similarity word shabih to the noun babr with the ezafe, pronouncing it shabih-e babr.
Why does the word for strong (mohkam) end with the letter ی (i) here?
That ی (i) is the indefinite marker, meaning 'a' or 'an'. In Farsi, when you have a noun followed by an adjective, this indefinite marker attaches to the very end of the adjective phrase, not the noun. So 'a strong jaw' becomes fak-e mohkami.
Do I still need the ezafe between jaw (fak) and strong (mohkam) if the 'a' marker is at the end?
Yes, you still need it! The noun fak (jaw) must connect to its adjective mohkam (strong) using the ezafe. The entire phrase is pronounced fak-e mohkami.
