کفش‌های مشکی پاشنه‌بلند

Etymology[edit]

From Middle Persian kpš (kafš, “shoe”), with further origin uncertain. Akin to Old Armenian կօշիկ (kōšik) and Arabic قَفْش (qafš), Iranian loanwords.

Pronunciation[edit]

Noun[edit]

Dari کفش
Iranian Persian
Tajik кафш

کفش • (kafš) (plural کفش‌ها (kafš-hâ))

  1. a shoe
  2. a pair of shoes
    Synonym: جفت کفش (joft-e kafš)

Usage notes[edit]

  • One often uses the singular for a pair of shoes: این کفش (in kafš, “these shoes, this pair of shoes”). This is different from the use of the singular for an indefinite number, which is possible with all nouns: کفش می‌فروشند (kafš mi-forušand, “they sell shoes”).
