za da noro malgaro da jabarhey da intezar kom aw bya ba za sama jabarha warkam

[spogmai shaglay]

i have understood very well the endings of the masdar/verbs.... as it would be when referring to 1st person, 2nd or third person.....
as in
za....am
mong.....oo
hagha....ee
haghoi...i
ta.....ye
taso...yai

but my biggest confusion and doubts till date remains the same.....
like each verb is changed differently like....
weenzal for 1st person becomes weenzam.... quite understandable
udredal for 1st person becomes udregam......
paseedal become pasam...
alootal is alwazam...
aks jorhol becomes aks jorhowam
jorheedal becomes jorhegam
neesal becomes neesam
warkol becomes warkom
Prekhawdal becomes pregdam

in all the cases different verbs end differently... i am trying find an explanation here as to what leads to changes in the individual verbs....

REGULAR and IRREGULAR VERBS

In almost all languages of the world , we have regular and irregular verbs. As in English we make the 3 forms of the verb usually by adding ed at the end but we have verbs like GO which is totally irregular and the the forms are go-went-gone not go-goed-goed

Similarly the endings of the verbs in sentences with pronouns also differ. In English it fiffer only with HE and She as he goes, she goes but with all other pronouns its GO. In Spanish it is different for all pronouns as ir(to go) is voy, va, vas,vamos, van. In Pashto tlal(to go) becomes zam, zi,zey,zu,zi.zai.

Thus go/ir/tlal , as well as alwatal, jorhedal, prekhawdal/prekhal/preshal etc as given above are irregular verbs and the only way to master irregular verbs is to listen/read them again and again (practice) and memorize them without waiting for any symetry , systematicity or regularity according to a rule etc.

[spogmai shaglay]

A few more verbs.. please correct them so that we can write them for all pronouns.....


to dance..naseedal/gadeydal
to drink... skhal
to play...lobey kawal
to cook….pakhawal
to buy….akhestal
to talk… khabrey kawal
to stay…aoseedal
to break…matawol
to join…nakhlawal/makhlawal
