"Haft ruz-e hafte ast" (There are seven days in a week) uses ezafe again (ruz-e hafte, "day-of week") and shows that hafte ("week") is historically built on haft ("seven") — a useful memory hook.
Where English speakers slip
The final "-ft" cluster should be pronounced crisply together, without inserting an extra vowel — say "haft," not "haf-it" or "haf-tuh."
