Hi.

When i study gold ( طلایی ) in persian today ,i find لا in this word.
I didn't learn لا in persian alphabet.
i searched few information on the internet ,but it's not enough to help me understand.

Hello dear Farsi learner, there is no such a thing in Persian language like لا in the alphabet as one single letter. because that's a combination of two different letters.

Ex:

Golden = طلایی

طلایی= ط+ ل+ ا+ی+ی

Hope it helps,

I am guessing that it is the same as in Arabic. So in Arabic it's an L combined with an A because the a can sit on top of the l. ا + ل = لا

Salam, as friends had already mentioned لا is composed of two letters: ل and الف

More examples:

سلام which means hello

هلال meaning crescent
