Ao ao ta na hes na di patay..........

[Iqra]

Walaikum Asalaam

If I am not mistaken, hemat = = courage...

همت him-mat (this is how it's spelled in the dictionary you shared)

A همت him-mat, s.m. (2nd) (from هم) Spirit, mind, resolution, inclination, bravery, liberality, courage, magnanimity, design, purpose. Pl. همتونه him-matūnah. همت لرل him-mat laral, verb trans. To possess or have spirit, courage, resolution, etc. همت کول him-mat kawul, verb trans. To manifest or show spirit, resolution, bravery, or inclination.

A P همتي him-matī, adj. Bold, daring, resolute. (Masc. and Fem.)



and by qanam do you mean qanun (or spelled kanun in the dictionary you shared)? Kanun means rule.

نون ḳānūn
G قانون ḳānūn, s.m. (9th) Rule, regulation, statute, canon, institute, system. 2. A dulcimer or harp. Sing. and Pl.

The bolded is what I looked up for you in your dictionary

Dera, dera manana. When I hear the words, I have a hard time spelling them and therefore have a hard time finding the meaning. I hope others find this thread useful, as I know I will and have already.

[akhan]

Can you use qanun and himmat in a sentence?

[Iqra]

Lol no problem, I tend to misspell when transliterating as well.

Thanks for the site btw, seems nice =)

[Iqra]

Can you use qanun and himmat in a sentence?

um Sure ...

Zma da kor qanun dah dai chi par laas baje biyad bida yeh. (It is my house rule that you must be asleep at 10).

I might be wrong but...

Za himmat na larama chi sta saara haqiqat wu wayama. (I don't have the courage to speak the truth with you).

[Nokia_Apridy]

hahaha jaysmine iqra khor ta sa nashu wail ma wail chay pragda chay lagya

usey...........Iqra Ghuguna onesa shaba

HEMAT / ZURWARTUB / زړور توب

Qanon / DOOD دود

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Qanoon and Himmat are equally used in Pashto too.....Khushal baba has used these words in his poetry.
Ka' qismat dey da zmaree pa khula' ke warkee
da zmaree pa khula ke ma' pregda Himmat

[Iqra]

^ Thank you yousufzai.

I have heard the words used in pashto before too...so have others :D

And zurwartub means brave, which is different from hemat because someone with hemat might be brave, but its not the same thing.

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Iqra i am with you....Sa' sho Nokia??????????

[Nokia_Apridy]

hem za daga yam YP wrar zma ZRA ya na Maney

HEMAT ya keday shi staso khbra sama wi Ijaz lala da rshey warga...

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

There are thousands of words that are common among different languages it doesn't mean one should abandone using these words....you can find these words in Pashto Dictionary "Daryab"

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Many words have come to Pashto from other languages such as sansikrat jand etc....au daa sa' nawee takee na' dee Khushal baba Rehman baba au noro shayerano use karee deee oss ka sok rapasee au wayee che daa pure pukhto takee na' dee au daa badlawoo nooo daa ba dera grana sheeeee......Zulam is an arabic word for which we don't have equivalant word in pashto similarly zaalim, rahmat, karam, kharab etc are also used in Urdu/arabi etc.....should we give up using these words too?

[akhan]

I am sorry to cause confusion or problems. Actually, I am learning and really striving to perfect my pukhtu. The words I have posted are from when I hear them in conversation. I in particular heard these words while listening to a pashtu drama posted on here called Mala Rana Rakai. As I watch, I write down what I don't understand and try to ask somene, either husband or here or try and research first. Please do not mind if I unknowingly post an Urdu or Farsi, but without knowing their meanings as well, I will struggle in my comprehension.

[Iqra]

akhan, don't even worry about it. Just remember what Yousufzai has said about how a lot of words come from other languages.

This hasn't caused confusion or problems Alhamdulillah
