How would you say this in your dialect?

[toughpashtun]

Pashto has many dialects and it would be interesting to know how different members here would say a certain sentence.For this purpose , I am putting up a few general phrases in English. Do contribute by translating each one into your own dialect.It would be even better if you mention which area your dialect is based of.

1) My name is (username)

2) How are you?

3) I am () years old.

4) I am a Pashtun but I live abroad.

5) Yes / no


6) I was standing on top of my roof and watching the children play cricket.

7) You should come to my house for dinner tomorrow.

8) I have never seen such rude people like this.

9) I am reading a very interesting book nowadays.

10) I spent five days in Peshawar.

Note : You people can add sentences on your own too , I couldn't come up with
a good variety of them.

Do you speak multiple dialects?Aren't you from Warsak Peshawar?

[salman47]

Do you speak multiple dialects?Aren't you from Warsak Peshawar?

Yes I am from Warsak, and this is how someone from Warsak(at least from my family) would say those expressions. I did not add extra words/phrases from other dialects.
P.S. Some people in my family are literate in Pashto(e.g. My Mom, Uncle etc.)

'Cherenge ye' is not something that is used in Peshawar. it is typical of southern areas of KPK

Ever since I started reading pashto my speech has been influenced by written pashto but this is how people in my family normally talk.

[MENTION=12154]toughpashtun[/MENTION] saib. If you could add some sentences from your native Karak pashto that would be nice as it is very different from the other dialects posted here.

I have grown up in Peshawar hence I too speak the dialect of Peshawar valley.

But I'm pretty sure you would have learned some Karak Pashto from your parents.

My mother is not from Karak.
The language in our home was the northern dialect , even my father would speak that with us.
Other relatives would(and do) speak the Khattak dialect , and I am familiar with it but not proficient enough to accurately translate these sentences.

Quite common in my family though, e.g. 'che she', 'cherenge', 'che ke' etc..

There are definitely some people in your family that are from southern KPK.

Traveller is right. Either you have roots in Southern KPK , Balochistan or Afghanistan.How come you are not aware of it?
Or are you an Afghan pretending to be Pakistani?
