It requires an unseen Ezafe, pronounced as az qabil-e. This grammatical linker connects the phrase directly to the specific examples being listed (āyene va ja'beh).

What does the word qabil actually mean on its own?

qabil translates to 'kind', 'sort', or 'category'. Therefore, the entire phrase az qabil-e literally means 'from the category of', which acts as the equivalent to the English 'such as' or 'including'.

Since vasāyel (items) is plural, why is the verb vojud dārad singular?

In Farsi, plural inanimate objects (like items, mirrors, or boxes) almost always take a singular verb. While you might occasionally see the plural vojud dārand in highly formal writing, the singular form is the standard rule for inanimate subjects.

Is vasāyel a regular plural noun?

No, vasāyel is a 'broken plural' borrowed from Arabic. Its singular form is vasileh (item, tool, or means). As a B2 learner, you will see broken plurals frequently; they change the internal structure of the word rather than just adding standard Persian plural suffixes like -hâ.

Could I use nazir-e instead of az qabil-e in this sentence?
