The Little *i* That Links Words
Dari links a word to the word that describes it with a short i. The i is usually not written, so you add it as you read.
After ا, و or a final ه, the i becomes yi and is written with ی, as in "my dad" and "my letter".
bābā-yi man bābāy man
nāma-yi man nāma-i man
Some books write this yi as a small ء on the ه instead: خانهٔ.
