Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds
Turn any adjective into an abstract noun by adding '-i' and the Ezafe '-ye' to connect it to a concept.
- Add '-i' to an adjective to make it a noun: 'khub' (good) -> 'khubi' (goodness).
- Use the Ezafe '-ye' to link the abstract noun to the subject: 'khubi-ye in film' (the goodness of this film).
- Always ensure the Ezafe marker is written or spoken clearly to connect the noun to its possessor.
