Questions & Answers about در تیر هوا خیلی گرم است.
What exactly is تیر (Tir)?
تیر (Tir) is the fourth month of the Solar Hijri calendar, which is the official calendar of Iran. It corresponds to late June and most of July, which is early summer. That is why the sentence says the weather is so hot!
Does هوا (hava) mean "air" or "weather"?
It means both! In Farsi, the word هوا is used to talk about the physical air we breathe, as well as the weather outside. Because we are talking about it being hot in a specific month, it clearly means "weather" in this sentence.
Why is the time phrase در تیر (in Tir) at the beginning of the sentence?
In English we often put time at the end (like "the weather is hot in Tir"), but in Farsi, time expressions usually go at the very beginning of the sentence. Putting it right before the subject هوا (weather) is the most natural word order.
How would a native speaker pronounce گرم است (garm ast) in casual conversation?
In spoken Farsi, the verb است (is) is almost always shortened. Instead of saying the full written form گرم است (garm ast), people just attach an "e" sound to the end of the previous word. So it is pronounced گرمه (garme).
