Pashto Basic course discussion topic.

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Salaamoona!
Well Shlombay did a good job by making corrections.....hmmm but still there are some correction needed i will make these although they are minor still i think correcting them will be useful for pukhto learners: here they are:

Happy<khushala…za der khusala yam che ta dalta raghaley dey…I am very happy that u have come here.

Sad<khapa….mata waya ,che ta ma sara khapa na ye….tell me, that you are not angry with me..

Hot<sor….dodai der sor da, awo ma der wagay yam….food is very hot, and I am very hungry

Far<Laray..Pohanzai zama kor da/la der laray da..university is very far from my home..

i might make a lot of mistakes but u know that one learns by making mistakes..

In the first sentence "ye" should be used, not "dey"...it will be: Za der Khushala yam che ta dalta raaghley ye"

In the second one "na" should be used instead of "sara" the sentence will be: mata waya/oowaya che ta zama na khafa na ye...

I think the correct word for "Hot" is "Toodh" in pukhto not "sor"(meaning red)...so it will be:Doday dera toodha da, au za der wagay yam"(note that "dera" will be used as there is "da" not "dey" for doday(feminine"

Pohantoon zama da kor na der laray dey....so it is "na" not "da/la"

Write the following in Pashto,

1)My name is Zarmina, I am very tired lately. I have final exams and Its really hard to logon Pashtunforums.com to socialize with the Afghans/Pashtuns here. Even though I have finals I still log on and I still talk with people. I am also presently learning Pashto. I really admire Pashto and I have been trying to learn it for the longest. But Thanks to this great Pashtun website I now have live tutors who help me learning Pashto.



I shall wait to see how well you write that in Pashto. If its too hard let me know..



Osho also post some more classes..

Za der wraz na pashtu zda kawal koshish kowali da (this sentence to write in Pashtu is difficult for me)…kho da maham pashtun website la manana za oos live tutor larhey sok zama mrshta kawey Pashtu zda kawal da para…

Extremely difficult paragraph…………….
As I have so far learned only simple sentences and not compound and complex…
I have been trying to learn it for the longest…next time please keep in mind the lessons posted and accordingly give translation. I have tried my best here…there are going to be loads of mistake…and if my old teacher comes across this post god…. I don’t know what I am gonna do…
My vocabulary is also not very good as I don’t know what do we say for socialize..
I am least hesitant to post my translation here…..
please correct in red next to the mistake that really helps...

yeah. I speak this dialect. I say niether خه as the yousfuzai say, or شه as the kandaharis speak. I say ښه. Is this the formal correct dialect. Because I speak as it is written. Because Dari speakers also speak as they write their language while Iranians have an accent. Because instead of naan they say noon.

Yeah, the ښه is the correct way to say it, or well the formal way. Here's an example:

Right at the begining he says ښاغلی

The addition of the voice recordings is a great step forward in the development of this course. I am sure one day this course will be the best Pashto course through out the word.

Please dont write short sentences. Write a little longer sentences and try to write both English and Pashto sentences or only Pashto sentences in roman as well as Pashto script.

^Which dialect do you speak? I have been trying to improve my Pashto.

That's awesome, hopefully the classes here are helping =)
And I speak the Wardaki dialect...

[Badlun]

^Which dialect do you speak? I have been trying to improve my Pashto.

There is a detailed discussion on the two Pashto dialects in Lesson No1 above. However here we are trying to use both the dialects. Also if you learn any dialect you can learn or understand the other one very easily. We may not emphasize too much this dialect issue. Pashto is one language with little differences of accent, dialect, intonation,vowel sounds, and geosynonyms.
