"کیف داخل ماشین است" (Kif dākhel-e māshin ast) means "The bag is inside the car." داخل takes the ezafe -e before the following noun (dākhel-e māshin), because it functions like a noun/preposition meaning "the inside of," similar to how English says "inside of the car."
Where English speakers slip
Don't forget the ezafe -e that has to link داخل to the noun that follows it (dākhel-e māshin, not dākhel māshin) — dropping it is a common beginner slip. Also keep that raspy خ distinct from a plain English k or h; it's a distinct throat sound of its own.
