Lets Learn Pakhto/Pashto

[Laila]

Alokozais are from Kandahar.
specifically from Arghandab district of Kandahar province.

They are not from the city of Kandahar. They are also not from Laghman..

LOL i am fully aware of that

My father's family has been living in Laghman for 2 generations. Hence, that is why we are the only Alocozais in Laghman.

How do you say

Next week, month, year


how do you normally say a date?

like 'today is Tuesday, July 1st

[Roshina]

what's the Pashto word for jealousy?

Jealousy = swazedal.

However, "swazedal" means many other things as well. For instance, while "Swazega ma!" means "Don't be jealous!" "Zrra me pe/pre swazeegi" means "I pity her/him."

Or "I just burnt my finger!" would be "Gwata me uswazeda."

How do you say

Next week, month, year

Next week = a bale hafte la
Next Month = a bale myashte la
Next Year = a bal kaal la

(There may be another word for "next," though.) "Sa kaal" = this year.

how do you normally say a date?

like 'today is Tuesday, July 1st

What is today's date? = Nan sa taarikh dey?
What day is it today? = Nan da sa wraz da?

Nan = today. Wraz = Day. Sa = What?

Today is Monday = Nan da Gwal wraz da. (Some Pashtuns use "Doshamba" for Monday, but as far as I'm concerned, that's not the original Pashto term for the day.)

Wait, lemme create a thread with the names of the days in Pashto.

EDIT: Okay, done. Here are the days of the week. http://pashtunforums.com/showthread....2823#post52823

= what year



What is today's date? = Nan sa taarikh dey?
What day is it today? = Nan da sa wraz da?
nan kama wraz da is also used

Nan = today. Wraz = Day. Sa = What?

Today is Monday = Nan da Gwal wraz da. (Some Pashtuns use "Doshamba" for Monday, but as far as I'm concerned, that's not the original Pashto term for the day.)

next mounth= ra rawana myasht ''a bale myashte la'' is grammatically incorrect since in this context ''a bale'' is used in past tense


just helping so don't get angry

Lewaniya, why would I get angry? lol. We're all learning and teaching here.

Yes, that's what I was looking to hear when I said that "next" might have another meaning. We use both - "a bala" and "rarawana." ("Rarawana" literally means "coming," so it's more grammatically correct, yes.) And "a bala" is used for the past mostly as well. As in, "a bala shpa..." which means "the other night."

As for "Sa kaal," while it's true that "sa" means "what," in this context it means "this."

You may have heard some Pashtuns saying, for instance, "Kala ba kalee ta zai?" (When are you going back home?) And the reply may have been, or may be, "Sa kaal la ba zu." (We'll be going this year.)
