[spogmai shaglay]

Manana Yousufzai Pakhtun,,,, you must have noticed that i dont understand when the verb is going to be compound and when not like in the above post Newaley dey and alwazawaley dey.....so i want to write them for almost all verbs so that you can correct and then i will learn them as there are no norms to follow, when its going to compound when not....i am slow learner though.. thanks for bering with me...

Final practice of Present perfect tense

Along with Spogmai we may also have more learners here. Please join and share your comments and questions.

Learning tenses is very important and once you learn tenses and use of different forms of verbs then 60%work is finished

Some more sentences in Present Perfect tense for practice.

take= to eat..khwarhal
ma dodai khwrhali da

mong dodai khwrhali da

hagha dodai khwrhali da

haghoi dodai khwrhali da

ta (sing.) dodai khwrhali da

taso dodai khwrhali da

Dodai is feminine . With more practice and eagerness you will also be able to distinguish every single word whether its masciline, feminine, singular or plural. keep practising.

Zama ror raghalay de > my brother has come

Sta mor talay da > your mother has gone

He has drawn.........hagha aks jorhalay dey < hagha aks jorh kerhe de

She has drawn...........hagha aks jorhali da < hagha aks jorh kerhe de

You (sing.) have drawn……..ta aks jorhali/jorhalay ye < Ta aks jorh kerhe de

You (pl.) have drawn…….taso aks jorhali/jorhalay yai < Taso aks jorh kerhe de



I have cooked food………..ma dodai pakhali da INCORRECT< Ma dodai pakh kerhe da

We have cooked food……….mong dodai pakhali da < Moong dodai pakh kerhe da

He has cooked food………hagha dodai pakhali da < hagha dodai pakh kerhe da

She has cooked food………hagha dodai pakhali da < Hagha dodai pakh kerhe da

questions of sanam

I have drawn........Ma aks jorhali yam INCORRECT< Ma aks jorh kerhe de

I have cooked food………..ma dodai pakhali da < Ma dodai pakh kerhe da

I have cried……….ma jarhali yam > Ma jarhali di

QUESTION In the above sentences 'kerhe' is used . what does it mean.

in the dodai sentences I understand that dodai is feminine and hence the sentences are used.

but in the other 2 sentences why'jarhali di' and 'jorh kerhe de' is used

ANSWER

yam is am or have in Pashto but only and only for the pronoun I

ZA SARHAY YAM I AM A MAN

ZA TALAY YAM < I HAVE GONE /BUT NOTE THAT HERE IS NO OBJECT

IF WE SAY I HAVE READ A BOOK THEN NOT SUBJECT BUT THE OBJECT WILL DETERMINE THE SENTENCE AND WE SAY ma kitab lwastalay day

here day is for book not I or ma and za also changes to ma

remember

yam for I

yoo for we

day for he

da for she

dee for they

ye for you sing.

yai for you sing. when we want to say I am , we are , he is , she is, they are, you are , you are as we are men , mong sarhee yoo

another use of these are in present perfect tense for have and has. when there is no object as all the above sentences like

I have gone za talay yam

I have gone to peshawar za pekhawar ta talay yam (remeber peshawar is not object)

but if object as I have eaten meal here meal is object so no yam but da for dodai and we say ma dodai khwarhali da

In the INCORRECT sentences above

I have drawn........Ma aks jorhali yam INCORRECT< Ma aks jorh kerhe de< aks is object and thus day( de is the same as day, Pashto script problem) t yam as here aks determines not I.

The pure word for Photo in Pashto is Inzoor not aks or tasweer.

I have cooked food………..ma dodai pakhali da INCORRECT< Ma dodai pakh kerhe da < HERE VERB PAKHAWAL TO COOK CHANGES TO A COMPOUND VERB PAKHA KARHI DA AS IN PRESENT PERFECT TENSE THERE IS NO WORD IN PASHTO LIKE PAKHALI DA . PAKHAWAL IS NOT COMPOUND IN PRESENT INDIFINITE TENSE .

I have cried……….ma jarhali yam > INCORRECT Ma jarhali di/ THIS IS ANOTHER IMPORTANT POINT . HERE THE VERB JARHAL IS USED IN THE SENSE OF AN OBJECT/OBJECTIVELY AND A PLURAL OBJECT SO DEE . HERE THE SUBJECT I DOES NOT DETERMINES BUT THE VERB JARHAL WHICH IS USED OBJECTIVELY . SIMILAR IS THE CASE WITH ALL SUCH VERBS AS

KHANDAL TO LAUGH

I HAVE LAUGHED < MA KHANDALEE DEE
