How would you say this in your dialect?

[Traveller]

[MENTION=19486]salman47[/MENTION] ,I hate to cast suspicion on people but [MENTION=12154]toughpashtun[/MENTION] is right, you are a bit suspicious. Even before you said "khlalilzai" instead of "Khalil" which is something I've never heard of. Please explain yourself.

How about these:

1) We are all fine, thank you

2) What is this thing?

3) I drink green tea

4) X is a nice woman

Exactly how I'd say it... I do want to hear other dialects though. So far, nobody with the southern dialect has stepped up to the plate.

[salman47]

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?

It's not like I am oblivious to that type of info. I know, in fact 4/5 generations ago, some of my GGF/GGM/GGGM/GGGF came from today's Afghanistan. Hence the names of my villages in Warsak, i.e. 'Kochian', 'Gara Tajik' etc.

P.S. I have no info from before that(4-5 generations).

Well then technically you are a Pakistani because your forefathers migrated to this area before 1947.But that effect on language/dialect remains.
You said you were a 'Khalilzai'.When pointed out that there is no tribe called 'Khalilzai' , you said that you were referring to 'Khalil'.While the local inhabitants of the Warsak area may be Khalils(I am not sure though , but Khalils are present in the surroundings of Peshawar) , it is highly unlikely that you are one considering you have Afghan roots.
Thanks for the clarification though.

So far only 3 people have responded , so we haven't actually heard the variety we were looking for.

Come on dude you are assuming too much with the info i provided in this forum!
My tribe is Khalil, I wrote Khalilzai for fun. It just means the same thing.
P.S. I am not purely Khalil(as is the case with every other Pashtun I suppose, i.e. In my family we don't just marry from the Khalil Kabila).

4) X is a nice woman

1 ) Muzh tol shu yu , manana.

2) Da chasha da?

3) Za shna chai shu(n).

4) X ywa sha shaja da.

[Samandri]

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.)

Its indeed very unusual. The "che-ing" (saying Charanga instead of tsaranga, chalor instead of tsalor) is peculiarity of few tribes of southern districts like Marwats, Bhittanis, Kundis, Gandapurs etc. No other variants of soft dialect say charanga. No tribe of Afghanistan say charanga.

There are Daudzais and Mohmands in Afghanistan, but no Khalils.

I dunno but we use it(sometimes not always but still), also I and many members in my family have spent time with the soft dialect Pushtana in Afghanistan, Pakistan and UAE. Plus we have some roots that end up in that part of Pashtunistan, hence some soft dialect words remained in the Pushto/Pukhto(mixture of the two) we speak!
And as I said 'my family is not a pure Khalil family', because as far as I know we have a lot of inter-tribal marriages in the Pashtunistan region.

Is it still hard for you to comprehend what I am trying to say?

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.

1. Ma nama Charsi Malang da

2. Taso tso kaalo yai?

3. Zuh (x) kaalo yam

4. Zuh Pakhtun yam kho baar ossam

5. Aw/Na

6. Zuh pa chatt weelar wam aw da urrko cricket me kato

Your village dialect as you have used over here , is also very similar to the Peshawar dialect.
