sister-in-law/brother-in-law depends on HOW they are related to you.

For example your wife's sister is your kheenah, but your bother's wife is your wrandaar. Your husband's wife is your yor (I'm sure I'm right - but that doesn't apply to a man, so I'm not expected to know, I guess).

There are so many different names for this depending on how the relationship is formed.

In Urdu it is equally, perhaps even more, complex.

Ha! Ha! What a baffoon I am!!
Hit me on the head with a chaukai, so that I wake up!
"Husband's Wife!!!"

Nobody noticed?!?!?!?

What I meant, people, was husband's sister!

[Laila]

^ LOL!

[Palwan]

Are these two sentences correct?


زما فوټبال ډیر خوښ دی.

زه د ټولو نه فوټبال خوښ لرم.

I remember this so well, but I was in one of those 'low-posting-moods' (I have my days, you may know). I still remember thinking: How did this get past three people 'thanking' it? I had put down the correction too, husband's wife - bena, not yor.

Chaukai, can't be that bad Tor Khan?

Firstly, the word football is not one word in Pakhto. It is written as such: فټ بال.

Secondly, well done, the first sentence is correct. The second sentence on the other hand can be worded slightly better as it sounds like you are saying: I like football better than everyone (I assume you want to say football is your favourite among the sports?) Instead you could say: Pe tolo lobo ke/sa'at teree ke, zema football der khwakh dai.
