I'm sorry it was my typo...I'm going to correct it ...
Thank you for reading and remark.

[کیش]

Awesome thread!

Just one problem.

Isn't، she= ده not دا؟

[یاسمینه]

Thank you.
دا (pronoun) means she or this or it
ده (verb) means is - 3rd person, feminine, singular (she is)

[SiiNii]

When do you use دوی vs "hagoi" for ' they '?

[یاسمینه]

Both forms mean the same, both are correct and as personal pronouns can be used interchargeably.

[طالب]

^ Not exactly, according to my textbook دوی is used when "they" are nearby while هغوی is used when "they" are far away:

[یاسمینه]

All my books say that دوی is correct, my professor says that both forms are correct. I trust my professor, especially that Pashto doesn't have linguistic norm.

Following your book how would you say: they bought flowers? I mean what form of personal pronoun would you use?

[طالب]

It depends, are "they" standing right next to me or are "they" not nearby?

If "they" are nearby: دوی ګلان واخيستل
If "they" are not present: هغوی ګلان واخيستل

By the way Yasmeenaah, sorry if I'm coming across as nitpicking. I am not saying you are wrong, I am simply supplementing with the information and understanding I have. No doubt the textbook is idealizing to some extent and you should of course follow your professor.

[یاسمینه]

Hey, we are here to share our knowledge and I like your remark Plus it's nice to know that someone reads what I write here and corrects it.

My question was to know what form of pronoun would you use if subject wasn't specified. Habit is what leads to making linquistic norms...

[طالب]

In that case I guess I would use هغوی. Perhaps native speakers of this forum could enlighten us as to which pronoun they use?

When do you use دوی vs "hagoi" for ' they '?

doey means when you talk about people next to you.

hagoie is when they are far,where im from we say -thay- haghey

its like the english
these people - da khalek
those people - hagha khalek

but when you say them than you use two types one is Doey=when people are close to you Haghoey = when people are far
