    Well at least Our Pashto has a unique way to say Thank You(Manana).

      Due to russian alphabet which contains ts, zh, sh and ch russian language sometimes sounds very similar to southern dialect of pashto.

        So I don't know really well except a few phrases.
        Do you live in Germany?

          No chance. منان is a pure Arabic word, I believe it derives from the root ‘منن', and المنان is one of the names of Allah (سبحانه وتعالى).

          But like I explained in me earlier post, in pretty sure Iblis is wrong. I think this is one of those cases where similar words with unrelated origins end up sounding similar, like ardh (ارض)/earth or samaa’ (سماء)/asmaan.
          You think that’s embarrassing?
          Watch this and then rethink your definition of embarrassing.

            Nope.
            The father(Apriday) of my 'Rushtan' friend brought his family to Pakistan for a few years(From Saudi Arabia). My friend was fluent in Russian, English and Arabic. He wanted to learn Pashto, so I was teaching him.
            P.S. We met in Pakistan.
            I am currently studying Civil Engineering in Turkey.

              Yes a few words here and there are similar. Slavic Languages are closer(but unintelligible) to Iranian languages, then say Germanic Languages.

                    That’s how persian men of Iran (or better Teheran) dance. Most hazaras who took refuge in Iran copied this dance moves.

                      The guy is a control freak. When he was a moderator, he banned me just cause I insulted Najib and described the afghan gov as prostitute like gov.

                      He did not want to partake in a discussion started by a Najib hater and farsiwan like yourself becasue it makes him feel belittled reeking from Inferiority complex. He is a complete hypocrite praising democracy hater Najib and praising democracy at the same time.

                        Most of natioanlist people are nuts. I am telling this as a former nationalist. But deep down I believe DSM is a nice guy. We just had a misunderstanding.

                          Nice guy or not, the consequences for their mentality are enormous .The animosity between farsiwan and pashtuns in Afghanistan are because of people like him. I don't really blame the farsiwan for hating us, I blame pashtuns like him and Azmal for it.
