Talk:ناهار

ناهار is colloquial form of the original word ناهاری with suffix "ی", similar pattern is in ناشتایی meaning breakfast, from ناشتا.--Hamaabir (talk) 19:04, 11 March 2020 (UTC)

Possible. But even if, that doesn't tell us whether it's eventually from the native word for "having an empty stomach" or from the Arabic word for "day". صبحانه also has a suffix and is still from Arabic. When you look at "sobhâne" and "shâm", both originally referring to a time of day, it becomes even more likely that the same is true for "nâhâr". 90.186.72.174 03:23, 21 March 2020 (UTC)
