Bro the suffix "Wal" is pashto.

Nuff said. We have to compare this word to iranian farsi not dari since it has a lot of borrowings from pashto.

the suffix "wal" is pashto which make a word to a noun, the noun with this suffix mark a person

[HalloIsBack]

-wal/wala and -mal are actually Indian... but you as a linguist scholar on languages know this surely better than we do lol

i have learned that -wal/walay make a noun from another word but i don't know the origin of these suffix

yes

[Badlun]

word theek from Urdu is sam or sama (ok, correct, right)

Urdu numbers. eik, do teen, char. sath, sattar etc are used commonly by Pakistani Pashtuns. We may use pure Pashto numbers, yaw, dwe, dre, tsalor , shpeta, awya etc instead

Urdu words shukrya or mehrabani and Persian tashakur for pure Pashto manana

Persian names of days of the week , shanba,yak shanba, do shanba, se shanba, char shanba, panjshanba, juma instead of Pashto pure words like adeena, khali, itbar, gwel, naha, shoro , zyarat

Pashto Hijri calandar months names like wrhambai khor, dwayama khor, dreyama khor, salorama khor, Zbarga, shoqadar, roja, urhokey akhtar, khali, loy akhtar, asaan, should be used instead of Arabic words like Muharram, Zeela haj, ramadan, rajab, shawal etc

Afghan calandar's Pashto months names Woray, Ghowayay, Ghbarghole, Changaskh,Zmaray,Wagay,Tala,Larrm,Leenda,Marghumay ,Selwaga,Kab instead of its Persian counterparts.

-wal/wala and -mal are actually Indian. -Mal maybe be from Kashmir... but you as a linguist scholar on languages know this surely better than we do lol wal can be translated being from or can describe what you are doing. Your job.

Word: Chini (sugar): Dari and Farsi. Drives from noochin. In Afghanistan our Hazara brothers have a fairy tale called buzak chini (sweet goat).

Bura is coming from India via Dari to us. I think in Pashtu we have the word shukr like in English sugar. http://agmarknet.nic.in/burasugargmr.pdf

Ghadi: gang
mornay: from mother-side
shpai mahal: night time
purwandah: nomad (instead of Koochi which is dari from farsi koochgar), related with puriwahim (to push) and puribasim (transportation)

If you are convinced that andiwal is pashto you should be able to explain its etymology.

Can you do that?

Wal is not exclusive to pashto its sanscrit.

And Sanskrit is derived from Pashto. Both languages indo-european and share lots of similarities.

Zema andiwala, the word Andiwal cannot be split into separate words. For instance you said where the does the word andi come from? well its not a word of its own. The word andi and wal are interchangeable together and cannot be split into two.

My mom was a pashto teacher back in Afghanistan so i will ask her.

[ډګروال]

za fikr kawom che "pata" kho urdu tike de ao sama pakhto ke na razi, zaka khali pekhawar ke der wayel kegi.

da kho sama da kho urdu ekhpela da dari pukhto arabi aw hindi na jor shaway dai. Maybe you are right , i dont know

wo, hum dase ma hum waile che kala kala kam tikai che yi hagha ba pakhto yi ao farsi ya urdu tike ba hum yi ao haghe ke sa ghalati nishta. Laka was "موټر" kho bekhi english tike na raghale "motor"

da pa dey me motar waway ,pa dey che pa afghanistan ke taqreeban tol emda wartha wayee. Pa dey che da kho amreekayano jor karey no noem yee ham englisi da. Laka computar .
Pa pukhto ke motar ta garay wey pa dey che garay wheel ta wayee , train ta oorgaray wey , aw khargaray kho ta pejaney.

khala kho bekhi farsi tike de. Khabara yema che da plar khor ta tror wayel kegi kho da me kala na di awredali che da mor khor ta khala wayi.

[b]ma pukhtana wakla , zama laghman lorey ta ekhpelwaan da mor khor ta توړی torey wayee b]

da iranayno farsi ke tror ta hum ameh wayi ao khaleh wayi, so now i'm assuming both ama and khala are derived from farsi.

oo pa dari ke ham tror ta ama wayee .
Yes both are farsi


that's true, its better to compare it to actual farsi instead of dari since dari has adopted many pashto words.
