Questions & Answers about خوشحالم از اینکه این پنیر غیر لبنی ارگانیک است.
How does the prefix work in gheyr-e labani (non-dairy), and why does it need an Ezafe?
While it translates to the English prefix "non-", gheyr is technically a standalone noun in Farsi (borrowed from Arabic, meaning "other" or "without"). Because it acts as a noun modifying another word, it requires the Ezafe (the "-e" sound) to link to the adjective labani (dairy).
Is there another Ezafe between panir (cheese) and gheyr?
Yes, there are two Ezafes in a row here. The first connects the noun panir to its full descriptor gheyr-e labani (yielding panir-e gheyr-e...). The second is inside the descriptor itself, connecting gheyr to labani.
Why do we say az in-ke (from this that) instead of just ke (that) after being happy?
The adjective khoshhâl (happy) typically pairs with the preposition az (from/about). In Farsi, you cannot attach a preposition directly to a subordinate clause starting with ke. You must use a "dummy" pronoun in (this) as a bridge, creating az in-ke (literally "about this fact that").
How is the word labani formed to mean "dairy"?
It is built from the Arabic root laban (which means milk or yogurt) plus the Farsi suffix -i. This suffix turns a noun into a relational adjective, so labani literally means "related to milk", which we translate as "dairy".
