Structure of Persian

[Stallone Mannan]

Persian has six vowel sounds, all represented by the letter alef. There are three main ones, and different accent marks are used to distinguish. Stress is generally placed on the last syllable of the word, althought it is placed on the first syllable for proper names. Nouns are made plural by adding the siffix -ha at the end. Persian has five cases to show the function of a noun or pronoun in a sentence, using prepositions and postpositions to indicate the role of the noun. The five cases are the nominative case, the accusative case, the dative case, the locative case, and the ablative case. Verbs in Persian change their form according to the person and number of the Subject as well as for the tense. Subject and Tense are indicated by the type of the suffix which appears on the verb root. Verb roots are formed by deleting the suffix -dan from an infinitive.
