eed

Weeda and uda for one who is sleeping are geosynonyms. Both are correct. Again makham and masham are the difference in hard and soft dialects.

shawey yam and sawey yam are a little accent differences. Some Pashtuns specially in kandahar and Quetta use soft SIN for SHIN.

To read is LWASTAL in Pashto but as explained somewhere else Pashtuns are not generally READERS but SPEAKERS thats why To read LWASTAL is used as TO speak WAYAL. Pashtuns should change their habits and may also read not only speak the language. In Pakistan specially reading and writing of Pashto is almost extinct.

Akhbar wayal ,,to speak newspaper does not seem correct semantically but pragmatically its correct.

Bakhana ghwarham for the silly mistakes that i made.....but its really difficult to know which verbs are going to be compound and which not.....as u mentioned earlier that there no rules to understand this...its onlypractice that helps....but atleast we need to know the compound verbs in present perfect tense...

also
ta da kitab der khwakh dey... ..STA DA KITAB DER KHWAKH DEY ,,YOU LIKE THIS BOOK VEY MUCH.....ta da kitab der khwkhwam....isnt this too correct as we have learned in the previous post about simple present tense.....even if i like somebody i would say....za shahid der khwkhwam...this is what i always understood for simplepresenttense....but when i spoke to one of my friend...my friend too pointed outthat it would be karhey dey.....?????????????

[spogmai shaglay]

Since i am finding it difficult to understand which verb take compound shape in Present Peferct Tense, i thought of writing all verbs that we have studied so far in Present infinitive, Present continous andPresent perfect tense...


it will also help in a comparative study ofthese three and also oneby one we will be studyieng and will understand as to which verb is compound in Present Perfect Tense....

will tryto cover as many verbs as possible.....which can be by hearted then (no other option left)...of course without your generous help this wont be possible....
thanks for being so patient and helpfulllll....

it will take time but isnt impossible at all...regular participation will make it faster.....

and for " girs" "anjeelyane"

for girl we have few geosynonyms
Jinai..jinakai(janai..janakai)
injlay...anjeelyane
jinkai...jinkyane or jinkai(same plural and singular)

All are correct and we may know all and may use whatever is used around us

[Dukhtar-e-Kabul]

how to say,

"how is your grandmother feeling?"

Sheen dialect please.

[Badlun]

how to say,

"how is your grandmother feeling?"

Sheen dialect please.

sta nya sanga mahsusawi.....will be the literal translation but the same you can also express sta nya sanga da...how is your grandmother

I dont think Sheen dialect has any thing to do with such sentences where there is no word having the letter KHIN,SHIN or GE.JE . These kind of sentences can be expressed in many ways depends on an indivisual or a regional use of expression of a particular situation, context or mood. Other friends may also try to translate it in their own way.
