Dawezai wasn't Telephone "Zhagh dablay"

Somebody told me 'zhagh dablay' was for radio.

[Dawezai]

Respected Dawezai, correct me if I am wrong but in the past I was taught that the appropriate word for living is Astogna and address is Astognazay. Random thought, I know.

Dear Admin Khan, for living 'astogna' is the proper word and 'astoganzay' for 'address' is making a good sense too but for address the most commonly used word is 'darak'.

[Dawezai]

Are there any words for "awareness" and "goverment"?

Awareness: ځانخبري
Government: واکمن

Burrowing words from English language makes more sense to me since with the modern progress of Science and Technology as well as hundreds of other fields, new terminologies are introduced every day.Nonetheless, the Pashto linguists should help the language by introducing neologism.

It's not because of lack of words that Pashtuns are code-switching or using loanwords from other languages, we rather discard our own words and tend to use English, Parsi and Hindi/Urdu words instead. There are a number of reasons for this; the most obvious reason seems be lack of understanding on our part about the importance of our language. Most of us are the victims of 'aesthetic essentialism' in this regard.

The Pashto in Pekhawar is quite "contaminated" with lots of Urdu words.For instance, people would prefer to say "Boodh" and "Mangal" than "Charshamnba" and "Nahee" (for Wednesday and Tuesday), respectively.

'Charshamba' is Parsi; Pashto word for Wednesday is 'Shoro'.

wht is pashto word for internet?

That would be 'narheewaal jaal' but I feel we don't need to replace the term 'internet'.

[Dawezai]

Breshna is for link I think.

Breshna is for electricity and lightening. For 'link' the proper word would be 'jeelab'.

[Dawezai]

Brekhna leek =email
shabak -internet

'Brekh/bresh-leek' instead of 'besrhna/brekhna-leek'. 'Breshna/brekhna' is for 'electricity' while 'bresh/brekh' is for 'electronic'.

'Shabaka' is Persian for '[wireless] signal' which would be 'tsapey' in Pashto.

[Dawezai]

whats the proper word for cell phone?

Garzenda-wraaghagay but Garzenda in short.

[Dawezai]

Swindler: ګرانپلوری

Tourism: ګرځندويي

Astounding: ګنګسوونکی

Dialect: ګړدود

Standard Dialect: کره ګړدود

Morphology: ګړپوهه

Astognah bal lag nur hem walku pa

Astognah haga zay chay khazay ao naran pa gada sra osegey

Ao Hujra chay serf Naran ta ejazat wi

[Dawezai]

Is proof in Pashto saboot?

Saboot is Arabic. In Pashto 'proof' is جوتتيا [Jawath-thiyaa].

Dear Admin Khan, for living 'astogna' is the proper word and 'astoganzay' for 'address' is making a good sense too but for address the most commonly used word is 'darak'.

Malgaro! Astogna means living. Example: Plaar ao zwee yao zai astogna larala.
Astoganzay means Living Place. Example: Da Ustad Asaf Samim saib astoganzay pa Bakhshi Pul ke de.

[Dawezai]

How would you pronounce that?

Jawath thiyaa with a gap?

Wo, ham dagha dawl wayel keegi.
