In common language i think when somebody says i have slept-za uda shewe yem...Ma khob karay de...

I am crying-Za Jarham

I have sat-Ze kenasteli yem

I am dyin-Za marr Kegam

Za mrham if you tell that to someone, it also means like i am gonna die.

Wat is this word lagya that u keep using-Lagya we use when u say za pa kar lagya yem

[spogmai shaglay]

In common language i think when somebody says i have slept-za uda shewe yem...Ma khob karay de...

I am crying-Za Jarham

I have sat-Ze kenasteli yem

I am dyin-Za marr Kegam

Za mrham if you tell that to someone, it also means like i am gonna die.

Wat is this word lagya that u keep using-Lagya we use when u say za pa kar lagya yem

Manana Saifullan for the corrections....

I have sat-Ze kenasteli yem.....as i would sit on something...that somethingcould be chair...so the chair (object) determines the ending of the verb in past perfect tense....so ma pa kursai kenastali da

the lagya tha i use is for present continous tense....where the work is in the process of being done....i havelearned that usually the present continuos is spoken as simple present...but i write the sentences here as they were taught here like this by Osho....

Yousafzai Pakhtun, there is nothing to mind. Your corrections are something we can all learn from. I see though, most of the points you have addressed are gender related. I myself was confused as to which gender to write it in. Of course, Spogmai being a woman it should have been feminine, but I avoided it in that post (wrong of me). And others also related to the object we were referring to, which too, I wasn't sure of, for instance 'ma paida ke' would have been written differently had I had something in mind to form my sentence against. Either way, thank you for your additions. They're always welcome. Allah Bless you =)
