Cadeias de Ezafe Persas: Conectando Múltiplas Palavras (درِ خانه‌یِ...)

Use o som de '-e' ou '-ye' para ligar palavras em uma corrente descritiva, mas lembre-se: a última palavra da sequência nunca recebe o Ezafe.

Grammar Rule in 30 Seconds

The Ezafe (-e/-ye) is a short vowel sound that connects nouns to their modifiers or possessors.

  • Add -e to words ending in consonants: کتابِ من (ketāb-e man - my book).
  • Add -ye to words ending in vowels: خانه‌یِ من (khāne-ye man - my house).
  • Chain them together to link multiple modifiers: درِ خانه‌یِ بزرگِ من (dar-e khāne-ye bozorg-e man - my big house's door).
Noun + (-e/-ye) + Modifier/Possessor
