whats does dashtoona means??

[ScimitarXEdge]

I think it means deserts

Dasht is the Dari word for desert and words which are pluralized with "oona" are generally foreign to Pashto

am not sure about dasht, theirs a dari word for Sasht, as in "

nan a Sasht."

[IamDZJ]

[کیش]

you mean nan e chasht?

Same thing, I just misspelled the s with c. It's definitely not Dhasht.

[sgulab]

so how do you say "nervous" in pushto?

I normally just use the word for scared "yarigum"

[Digital Malang]

the pashto word for nervous is khwashiny as خواشیني

[Kashmala.]

what do these mean-
tu badi shey
and
tu khu alay ye

?

thank you!

[Zwakwal]

the pashto word for nervous is khwashiny as خواشیني

خوا شيني خفه کېدلو ته وايي، څوک چې په کومه پېښه يا کوم خبر خفه شي نو وايي چې ددې پېښې په ليدو يا هغه خبر په اورېدو خوا شينی شوم ، او
nervus
ته عصبا ني کارول کيږي، خو نۀ عصبي ، ځکه چې عصبي او عصباني ډېر فرق سره لري

[Don Hamis]

Pashto belongs to the Northeastern branch of the Indo-Iranian language family, although Ethnologue lists it as Southeastern. The number of Pashtuns or Pashto-speakers is estimated 50-60 million people world wide. The Constitution of Afghanistan declares Pashto as one of the two official languages of the country, the other being Dari (Persian).

[Tjanaparh]

Really? LIke that Ossetian, or at least Yaghnobi should be more close to Pashto.

[Tjanaparh]

I think the best is instead of hearing somebodies theories is to compare Yourself if there is or there is not a closer connection.
For example there is resource about yaghnab language:
Yaghnobi

And for the people who know cyrillic tajik script there is a yaghnobi-tajik-english comparing dictionary here:
Dictionary - PDF

[Tjanaparh]

Here is also a phrasebbook of Ossetian(unfortunately their script is also based on cyrillic- so script knowledge is requiered to understand):
Ossetian

Doesnt Dasht mean Field or Range?
Deserst should be Biabaan if I am not wrong?!
