Questions & Answers about پیاچ این محلول هفت ممیز دو است.
How does the word ممیز work to form the decimal in this sentence?
The word ممیز (momayyez) acts as the decimal point. To say 7.2, you read the whole number هفت (seven), add ممیز, and then the decimal part دو (two). It functions exactly like saying point in English.
Should I pronounce an ezafe (the short e sound) after ممیز?
Yes, it is very common to add an ezafe here, pronouncing the phrase as haft momayyez-e do. This ezafe acts as a connector between the decimal indicator and the fractional number that follows it.
Is پیاچ just the English abbreviation pH spelled out in the Farsi alphabet?
Exactly. Farsi frequently imports scientific and technical abbreviations directly by spelling out the English letter names phonetically. It is pronounced pi-ech.
Can I use محلول to talk about the solution to a difficult problem?
No, محلول (mahlul) strictly means solution in the chemical sense, such as a dissolved liquid mixture. If you want to talk about the solution to a problem or puzzle, you must use راهحل (rah-e hal).
