Questions & Answers about راهنمای این لوازم قابل خواندن نیست.
How does قابل خواندن translate to "readable"?
The word قابل means "capable of" or "worthy of." In Farsi, you can express that something can be done to a subject (like English adjectives ending in "-able") by using قابل linked with an ezafe to a long infinitive (the basic dictionary form of a verb). Here, قابل + ezafe + خواندن (to read) literally means "capable of reading," which translates perfectly to "readable."
Why do we use the singular این (this) with the plural word لوازم (accessories)?
In Farsi, demonstrative adjectives like این (this) and آن (that) never take a plural marker when they modify a noun directly, even if the noun itself is plural. So, این لوازم is the correct way to say "these accessories." You only make این plural (like اینها) when it acts alone as a pronoun.
What type of plural is لوازم?
لوازم (lavâzem) is an Arabic broken plural, commonly used in Farsi to mean equipment, appliances, or accessories. Its singular root is لازمه (lâzeme, necessity). Because broken plurals change the internal structure of the word rather than just adding a standard Farsi suffix like -ها, you generally just have to memorize them as new vocabulary when you encounter them.
Why is there a ی (ye) attached to the end of راهنما?
The word راهنما (râhnemâ - guide) ends in the long vowel alef. When you need to connect it to the next word using an ezafe (the connector that shows possession or description), you cannot just add the standard short e sound. Farsi inserts the consonant ی (y) to bridge the vowels, so it is written as راهنمای and pronounced râhnemâ-ye.
