This will be very helpful for any potential Pashto student.

Manana Darweshkhela.

[Laila]

Wonderful!!!! Dera dera manana

This is so convenient for me, something that keeps me busy between classes and lunch break ;-)

I have definitely saved them all onto my itouch

[Laila]

I did notice that in the 'Clothing' one.....they said 'patloon' for pants....while that is a Farsi word. They should have said 'pardug' since they still used 'kameez' for shirt.

[*Mahzala*]

Partug is a loose fitting pant - the kind worn with the traditional clothes. Whereas patlun is the name given to trousers, or a more formal pant.

Really? ohhh i see

[Laila]

So with that being said, is 'kameez' used for any shirt, top?

[*Mahzala*]

In my household, kamees is used for a dress, not a shirt. I've actually used the Dari words for these all these years - for men, yakhanqaaq and for women, balaatana, and for undergarments or t-shirts - zerperaani.

[Laila]

^ oh ha ha ha :D

[*Mahzala*]

Having said that, can someone shed light on the Pakhto words?

Yousafzai?

The uper part of the dress is called "Qamees". it covers hands, chest , belly and other areas.......while the lower part of our dress. that is tied below or close to navel is called "Partug"........so Qamees is the pashtunized version of "Shirt" and Partug for "Pant"......

Are they the only two words we have? In my household we have specific words for every garment, some may not be pure Pakhto, but it's good to differentiate, I think.

Scarf: teekrai
Socks: jeraabe
Shoes: butaan
Sandals: tsapley
Undergarments: jaangyaan

What else do we wear? :|

[Janana]

Thank you so much for posting, I find this an indispensable tool. Things like these also help keep me motivated to learn, excellent to help with enunciation.
