Questions & Answers about این فروشگاه بزرگ است.
Why is there no ezāfe linking فروشگاه and بزرگ?
Because بزرگ is the predicate of the sentence, not an attached adjective. If you wanted to say 'this big store,' you would use the ezāfe and say این فروشگاهِ بزرگ. But since the meaning is 'This store IS big,' the words are kept separate.
How would a native speaker say this in casual conversation?
In everyday spoken Farsi, the verb است is almost always shortened and attached to the end of the previous word. A native speaker would say این فروشگاه بزرگه instead of keeping است as a separate formal word.
How is the noun فروشگاه constructed?
It is a compound word made of two parts you might recognize at this level. The first part is فروش, which is the present stem of the verb to sell. The second part is گاه, a common suffix that means place. Put them together, and you get a place of selling, or a store!
