Nokia "Spezaley" mung da sa' seez dapara na balkey da shaksiyat dapara pakarawoo.....Laka Rahman baba che wayee:
Khudaya sa' shoo hagha khkulee khkulee khalaq
Pa Zahir pa Baatin speen spezaleee khalaq

You can't say that "Daa oba' derey spezaley dee" but (Daa oba' derey paakey dee)

we use spezalay like :"Admin khan da PF yo spezaley member dey"

though it have the same meaning i.e Paak, safa, bey aiba, waghaira but can only be used for a personality not for things like water........

What word do you use for "clean" in your dialect?

Many use safa or pak, but those are not pure Pukhto words. I know the Pukhto word we use...but first I'd like to see replies from other.

[Omar Usman]

Pak/Clean - lmanzy
Dirty - larhalay

[*Mahzala*]

Pak/Clean - lmanzy
Dirty - larhalay

I would say lmaanzi refers to something that is able to be prayed on/in. For instance: haga kaalai lmaanzi dai, sta kaali lmaanzi di. Of course, the interpretation is the same - that it is clean (or in terms of prayer, taahir).

[afghan]

i think for clean we also SOOCHA (pure), to clean socha kawal.

dirty= many words are used like ABATA, khachan opposite of soocha, nawaley
