Questions & Answers about قیمت یک زیردریایی رادارگریز تهاجمی چقدر است؟
The English translation says "stealth attack submarine", but the Farsi modifiers are ordered رادارگریز then تهاجمی. How does this chained Ezafe order work?
In chained Ezafe constructions, the head noun (زیردریایی, submarine) comes first. When multiple adjectives follow, Farsi generally places the most physically defining or permanent trait closest to the noun. Here, the physical stealth design (رادارگریز) attaches first, followed by its operational role (تهاجمی).
How does the word رادارگریز literally translate to "stealth"?
It is a compound adjective made of رادار (radar) and گریز (goriz). The word گریز is the present stem of the verb گریختن (gorikhtan), which means "to flee" or "to escape." Therefore, a stealth vehicle is literally described as "radar-fleeing."
Is there an Ezafe linking قیمت (price) and the submarine, even though یک (a/one) is in the middle?
Yes, you must use an Ezafe here, pronounced قیمتِ یک (gheymat-e yek). Even though the number یک separates the word "price" from "submarine", the Ezafe is still required to express "the price OF a...". The word یک is simply the start of the noun phrase being possessed.
How do you pronounce the Ezafe after زیردریایی since it already ends in an "ee" vowel sound?
When a word ends in the long "i" sound, the Ezafe is pronounced as a "ye" syllable to bridge the gap between vowels. So, it is spoken as "zir-daryayi-ye". This linking sound is rarely written as a separate letter in modern Farsi, so you must naturally insert the "ye" sound when chaining it to رادارگریز.
