Question about ezafe placement.

Question

So I now the ezafe connects adjectives or pronouns with nouns. But I was wondering if I was forming certain sentences right, such as the ones below. This yellow fruit is good. - Een miveh ye zard khub ast. این میوه زرد خوب است. I would use an ezafe between fruit and yellow because I am describing the fruit with the color yellow. But what about with good, I'm still describing the fruit, but it's not linked with the word fruit like yellow is, so I wouldn't use it correct. Is that sentence correct or do I need to change something?

Answer 1

Hi there,

The sentence is completely correct, but you need to write it in this form :

این میوه ی زرد، خوب است

the sentence is describing the "Meeve ye zard", so you are announcing that the yellow fruit, is good.

you can use in two ways:

1)this yellow fruit is good,

این میوه ی زرد خوب است

here the yellow is an adj, but you are describing the yellow fruit to be good.

or

2)this good fruit is yellow.

این میوه ی خوب زرد است

in this example, the good is an adj but in term of a sentence you are saying that the good fruit is yellow.

in Farsi we call this kinds of sentence: Jomleye vasfee

جمله ی وصفی

but if you are going to use both yellow and good as direct adjs you have too say:

een meeve ye khoob e zard

این میوه ی خوبِ زرد

or

een meeve ye zard e khoob

این میوه ی زردِ خوب

but this total expression is a subject and you can now decribe the good yellow fruit.

I hope that I could help you understand it.
