    In hard dialect, ‘kh’ and ‘g’ are used in ronounciation whereas in soft dialect ‘sh’ and ‘g’ are used in pronunciation. E.g: the word fine which means ‘kha’ in Pashtu is prounounced as ‘sha’ in soft dialect and beard which is ‘gira’ is pronounced as ‘jira’. Similarly in hard dialects we say ‘Pakhtoon’ but in soft dialect it is ‘Pashtoon’.

              Lesson no. 8

              Adjectives

              Like all other languages Pashto also has a vast reservoir of adjectives. Vocabulary of adjectives will help you a lot in descriptions and fluency of your language

              Some english Adjectives are
              high, beautiful, short, huge, strong, sleepy, painful, old, noisy, hungry,one, three etc

              While describing nouns or pronouns and say any thing about them you need adjective.
              Definition of adjective Adjective is a word which adds some thing to the meaning of a noun or pronoun or modifies a noun or pronoun.

              For example sarhay is noun but

              yaw sarhay ... one man

              kha/sha sarhay .... good man

              bad sarhay .... bad man

              zorh sarhay..... old man

              awal/wrhambay/lumrhay sarhay...... first man

              here yaw, kha, bad, zorh, awal are Pashto adjectives

              Translation of the above given english Adjectives


              high,<uchat/jag/lwarh,
              beautiful<khkwalay/khaysta,/shkwaley/shayasta
              short<larnd,

              huge<ghat, strong<mazboot/klak, sleepy<ooda, painful<darnnak, old<zorh/buda, noisy<shorwala/zwag kawoonkay,

              hungry< wagay,one..yaw. three...drey

              Here are a few more adjectives
              scary, heavy, handsome, sick, famous, difficult, dangerous, cold, busy, angry

              scary, Yareedunkeh, heavy, Droon, handsome, Khesta/khkuley, sick, Najorra, famous, Mash-hoor/ Namawar, difficult,Graan dangerous,Khatarnaak cold,yakh/sorh busy,Masroofa, angry, Ghussa

              General

              Admn Khan is trying to provide the Pashto recording and Pashto written sentneces here in these lessons.

              For having a good accent and correct pronunciation of Pashto language it is necessary to listen the native speakers or at least media. You can find Pashtosh programs on almost all important radio and tv stations as BBC, VOICE OF AMERICA, RADIO CHINA, VOICE OF GERMANY, KABUL , PESHAWAR, ISLAMABAD, QUETTA, GULF etc etc. PTV national has many hours of Pashto programs. TV sHAMSHAD AND KHYBER TV are also Pashto channels. You can find many of them on internet also.In Afghanistan majority of the Tv Channels have Pashto telecasting.

              For good pronunciation it is must that you talk to Pashtuns

              It is not difficult to find a Pashtun , they are every where and they are famous for their hospitality

              Just go and say

              how are you ----------- sanga ye

              I want to learn Pashto------- za Pashto zda kawal ghwarham

              Will you give me time for some practice... ta ba mala da mashq da para sa wakht rakey?

              why not .......... waley na

              Home work Please post at least 10 new Pashto adjectives
              and use them in Pashto sentences.

                ANSWERS

                2. write all the pronouns of pushtu and use in sentences( IN PUSHTU). < da pushtu tol zamirona olikay aw pa jumlo ke ye istimal kai

                Za > Za JanaanGull Yem

                TA > Ta zama da zrra sar yeh

                Tasuh > Tasuh zama Ustaaz yai

                Moonga > Moonga dilta Pukhto zda kau

                Haghai > Haghai Pa Pukhto na poigi

                Haghay > Haghay halak zama der pokh malgaray de

                Hagha > Hagha jeenai zama khor da
                Again there is a mistake in the above question regarding the use of pronoun...(The red highlighted one"
                The pronoun Haghay can be used as follow:s
                Haghay: Haghay mata darogh ooway...ya ...haghay ta pakhto na warzee etc.

                and your sentence in correct form will be: Hagha halak zama der pokh malgaray dey...

                so friends this is the point where u should work hard..
                am pointing to these small mistakes so that others can also improve...

                      starhi mashai nawi malgaro

                      You may please also ask your questions here if these are related to the lessons given here.

                      I copy a post from another topic in this site for the benifit of all and to add to the lesson on Adjetives.

                      friendly-positives;
                      - friendly = yaari /indiwaly
                      - nice = shistaa /shkali
                      - cute = sharanga/kallie
                      - kind = shawali
                      - Intelligent = zetaki
                      - Amazing = zrawroonki
                      - Interesting pa zra poori
                      :D
                      Negatives:
                      - Borring = DHIGG
                      - dumb = lewanie biakal
                      - ugly = badrang
                      - heartless = ba zra
                      - angry = bakasham
                      - sad = kamginna
                      - scared = barandookie

                      Forming sentences;

                      You are are friendly = sha indiwal / sha molgari
                      they are are friendly = thew sha indiwalan de
                      we are friendly = moosh sha indiwalan yo
                      he is friendly = de sha indiwal de
                      she is friendly =da sha indiwalla da

                        ^awesome..manana,
                        By blood, we are immersed in love of you.
                        The youth lose their heads for your sake.
                        I come to you and my heart finds rest.
                        Away from you, grief clings to my heart like a snake.
                        I forget the throne of Delhi
                        when I remember the mountain tops of my Afghan land.
                        If I must choose between the world and you,
                        I shall not hesitate to claim your barren deserts as my own.
