      Can anybody help me? How to say in Pashto "Silver Tongue"? English people say silver tongue to meaning very good at talking like politician.
      Cant say, is it used for cunning people?, in that case ' khamar jaba' is used sometime. It depends on region and people. Khamar means snake, since snake have two headed tongue. It can be used for politician with poison tongue.

        Some time for cunning people,, but its the neutral. meaning it is someone who is very good speaker, but not have to be lier. What you say is for "forked tongue".

        Urban Dictionary: Forked Tongue

        Urban Dictionary: silver tongue (ignore the sesk ones)

        Silver tongue is superior orator, not have to be 2 faced (although some times can be 2 face, but that not what it means automaticlly). Just having skill of captivating audience.

        1 thing more sir, isnt it the "maar" for snake? Is "khamar" also the snakes?

          Sir we do use 'maar'. This is a traditional word. 'khamar' is used mostly in literature. No difference like snake and serpent. Same thing

                    • Anyone know the meaning "Lamsai Lamsai", I think it means "Qattar qattar" or "tar pe tar" given the context of the song but not sure.

                      • According to Google, "Elite" in Pashto is "Nakhba" (نخبه). Can anyone verify if this correct? Is it pure pashto?

                            Nakhba doesn't sound like an adjective. I checked it in Meaning of Elite in thePashto.com Dictionary and nothing came up. If you want to search up a word I recommend doing it in the aforementioned website as it is reliable. Only problem is that the Roman Pashto feature is pretty bad so if you can't write Pashto then it will be hard for you to do Pashto-English.

                            • Late to the party, but I have read the whole post....
                              So for Jumping no one used 'Dangal'!
                              To Jump - 'دانګل'
                              Also 'ټوپ وهل', but the latter seems to be influenced by Arabic Grammar.
