Questions & Answers about قولِ تو مهم است.
How does قولِ تو translate to "your promise"?
In Farsi, possession is shown using the ezafe (a short "eh" sound linking two words). قولِ تو literally means "promise of you". You could also use the attached pronoun ending and say قولت (your promise), but using the separate word تو adds a little more emphasis to "your".
Why is the word مهم (important) placed before است (is)?
Farsi sentences generally put the verb at the very end. The structure here is Subject + Adjective + Verb. So, قولِ تو (your promise) is the subject, مهم (important) describes it, and است (is) finishes the sentence.
Are there other ways to say "you" in Farsi besides تو?
Yes! تو is informal and singular, used mostly with close friends and family. If you want to be formal and polite, or if you are talking to more than one person, you would use شما. In that case, the phrase would change to قولِ شما.
How do you pronounce the word مهم?
It is pronounced "mohem". The middle letter is ه (he), which makes an "h" sound. In Farsi, you pronounce this letter clearly, so the word sounds like "mo-hem".
