Thanks to you both.... You may be right. There is no word for it.
But a while ago I heard on BBC pashto service or somewhere else that they used the word ''Qrratoo'' for advocate, literally Qrratoo means a person who talks a lot for example chatter box in english.Comment

It comes from Arabic like Salamoona from Arabic salam.Originally posted by ډګروال View Post

In Arabic تنة ورنة (your آ لوتنه turned back into arabic) means making noises. Since helicopters making loud noises people in Afghanistan used this word for flying. Without airplanes and mashines people can´t fly. In Arab states this name (flying bell) is used for famous cartoon about a fairy (huri).

In arab رتة means Dysarthrie http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dysarthria if you know what this is many things will clear in your mind. It´s important always to look for roots of words. Once we know them it will be easy to categorize them as foreign or native
Dysarthria ('dys' meaning abnormal or difficult; 'arthr' meaning articulating) is a motor speech disorder resulting from neurological injury of the motor component of the motor-speech system[1] and is characterized by poor articulation of phonemes (cf. aphasia: a disorder of the content of language).

A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

I was hoping everyone else would join in and keep the thread going. I don't know much about these words but as I think about it most of the terms I would suggest are actually also used in urdu, so now I am also wondering what the proper pashto terms would be.
Without = Baghair (urdu)
Difference= fark (urdu) [the term "badal" could be used for "different" in pashto though]
kind/type = rakam
color = rang (also used in urdu and farsi)
only = khali (in farsi they use "tanha" and in urdu "sirf", which we hear both of quite often in pashto)
I'm sure there are plenty of other words that I would use in place of these in a normal conversation but these are the ones that first come to mind.Last edited by Gulalai; 01-12-2014, 04:45 PM.Comment

Well, only only translation is correct which is khali for only. All other words you used are derived from urdu. I am looking for pure pashto words for them.Originally posted by Gulalai View Post
