Yo or Yaw?

So, I am trying to study Pashtu from a few different web sites plus I have a friend here who is fluent. I have learned the pashtu word for 1 / one as "Yaw" from my online websites however he has said it to be "Yo". Where is this dialect from? Which is right? I've learned more than just that but Yo/Yaw is just one of the many conflicts I've seen.

Yaw and yo are just vowel difference not difference of dialect. Both are cotrect. Yaw is more formal and used in written Pashto while Yo is informal. At biggner stage just learn and use any one. Both are correct.

Anytime bro!
I think you mean to write: 'زه به آشک راوغواړم'
It means 'I will order Ashak'.

Ashak: A dumpling/mantu type dish with yogurt sauce+dal qorma topping. It is very famous in Central Afghanistan i think.

Another thing about Pashtuns is that they arrange so much food for their guest(s), that they don't have much to eat themselves.

P.S. I am from Pakistan.
