  • How would you say this in pashto?

    There's an urdu/punjabi diss... Sarhi huwi. As in "yaar kya sarhi huwi aurat hai". Da ba pakhto ke singa wayi? [MENTION=18475]marwat[/MENTION] [MENTION=18842]Samandri[/MENTION] [MENTION=19588]Nekrofrost[/MENTION]

    Da sa moordara khaza da? I guess moordar is somewhat the apropriate word for it but donno. The other members are probably more well versed in it.

      Not exactly. I mean... the literal meaning may be similar... but the context is thus: usually when there's an oldish woman, my then friends would crack a joke about her being sarhi huwi i.e. old and used many many times to the point "it's" extremely... well... sarhi huwi LOL

      May not be a literal translation, just looking for something with the same effect.

        Can't think of an exact equivalent , maybe something like 'khuwand ey nishta' would work.

          Pa pakhto ki mashrano ta sok dase na wayee; therefore, there is no way of saying this in Pashto, unless you translate the sentence word to word and for the sake of translation only.

            Skha means dirty.
            Mordar would be closer to rotten,as Nekrofost said.
            If you look at the context Elite Pakhtun was talking in , both skha and mordar do not fit in.

              Mordar means dead body , in Urdu they say "Mordar Janwar"......in Pashto we say "Madrrar" not mordar......for some one who is dirty (lacking cleanliness) we have "cheran or khechan"......for rotten we say "wrost" or "skha"......in the context of "Sarhi hoi" we say say "skha shay" or "skha shaza"....."wrasta" is used more in the context of aged i.e "zarra wrasta"

                Although I never use such words but how about 'Palita Khaza/Shaja'?

                  That translates to 'dirty woman', 'Gandi Aurat'

                      Never heard any Pashtun say "madrrar," do you mean "مدړار"? Every dictionary I looked in spells it "mordar" i.e. "مردار." Maybe "madrrar" is a rare dialectal variation.

                      Also, where I'm from we say "khsaa" instead of "skha" for rotten, but I believe both are common.

                        'sarhi hui' means one who is rotten.
                        in pashto you say 'sa wrasta khaza da'
