Questions & Answers about به گفتهی این خیاط معروف، خیاطی مجلسی استایل خاصی دارد.
How does be gofte-ye work grammatically in this sentence?
The phrase be gofte-ye literally means to the saying of. It acts as a compound preposition meaning according to. The -ye at the end is an ezafe that links it to the source of the statement, which here is in khayyat-e ma'ruf (this famous tailor).
What exactly does majlesi mean in the phrase khayyati-ye majlesi?
The word majlesi comes from majles, which translates to a gathering, assembly, or party. In the context of clothing or tailoring (khayyati), it specifically refers to formal wear, evening wear, or clothes made for special occasions.
Why is the indefinite marker attached to the adjective in estayl-e khasi?
In Farsi, when a noun is followed by an adjective connected by an ezafe, the indefinite marker -i (meaning a or an) attaches to the very end of the noun phrase. Therefore, the -i goes on khas (special) rather than estayl (style), making it estayl-e khasi.
Is estayl just the English word style?
Yes, estayl is a direct loanword from English. While Farsi has native equivalents like sabk, estayl is extremely common in modern Persian when discussing fashion, clothing, and personal appearance.
