[/QUOTE]

I have given the geo synonyms for some of the words above with the symbol / and in red. Its very interesting that this way we are familiarizing to other Pashtuns words which are not used in a particular dialect or area. This shows how rich is Pashto.

Also please note that Pashtuns usually living in small houses/homes are not very habitual of using words for different parts of a house as dining room, drawing room. A traditional Pashtun house consists of a room(kota) or rooms(kotey) a mandaw(space outside the rooms) and a gholey(yard or sihan)

In Afghanistan its usual to use persian words for various sections of a house while in Pakistan Urdu has the same influence but this trend must be discouraged and pure Pashto words may be used instead.

[Iqra]

Oh yeah we call a dining room ...naaan khoori.
