Questions & Answers about مژگان سیاه او جذابترین بخش صورت او هستند.
How does the plural suffix -ân work in mozhgân (eyelashes)?
The singular word for eyelash is mozheh. When adding the formal plural suffix -ân, Farsi words ending in a silent 'h' (which makes an 'e' sound) replace the 'h' with a 'g' to bridge the sounds. So, mozheh becomes mozhgân. This suffix is heavily used in poetry and formal writing for paired or clustered body parts.
Eyelashes are non-human, so why is the plural verb hastand used instead of the singular ast?
While inanimate or non-human plurals usually take a singular verb in everyday spoken Farsi, formal or literary writing often gives them a plural verb. Because mozhgân uses the literary plural suffix -ân, the sentence establishes a formal tone, making the plural verb hastand a perfect fit here.
Why is there no Ezafe between jazâb-tarin (most attractive) and bakhsh (part)?
jazâb-tarin is a superlative adjective. In Farsi, superlatives are placed directly before the noun they describe without using an Ezafe. If it were a regular descriptive adjective, it would come after the noun with an Ezafe, like bakhsh-e jazâb (attractive part).
Could we use a possessive suffix instead of the pronoun ou (her) in this sentence?
Yes, instead of using the independent pronoun ou linked by an Ezafe, you could attach the possessive suffix -ash. For example, you could say mozhgân-e siyâh-ash (her black eyelashes) and surat-ash (her face). Using ou twice in this sentence simply makes it sound a bit more formal and deliberate.
