The Ezafé
The
Ezafé
Ezafé is an E sound which
in Persian is the equivalent of the English possessive ('s); or
an adjective connector; or a sign of apposition. Thus:
- Bandar-é-Abbas
(Port of Abbas)
- sag-é-kuchek
(dog small)
- mard-é-dustam (the
man, my friend...)
Ordinarily, the ezafé is
not written. But when the word coming before an ezafé ends with
a long A or a long U, then it is replaced by a yé or
After a long I, the ezafé
is pronounced but not written.
