Pakhto Vocabulary: Words and their Meanings

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Na gula for jumping we have Top wahal......tripping = ghorzedal,prewatal

Example:

1: He jumped in the air: Hagha' hawa ke top owaho.
2: He fell from the car: hagha da motor na prwato/oghorzedo
3: He fell on the bed: Hagha kat ke/bandey prewato
4: The book fell down from my hand: Kitab zama da laas na khkata prwato/oghorzedo

[*Mahzala*]

no that is not right or accurate. In our Pashto of Kandahari dialect ghorzedal to jump waye. We say waghorza that means go jump.

Not accurate in your dialect, you're right. I am learning. =)

We do use ttop/ttop wahel for jump/jumping as opposed to ghorzedel. Waghorzawa in our dialect is used to command someone to drop something and applies to objects only. If you were to say push that person over, you would say ttela ye ka. This, of course, is in my very simple Pakhto dialect.

and if you command someone to "Drop this person from the hell" what will you say then? (I think Oghorzawal/ghorzedal doesn't apply to objects only)

Wa chawa ... ? (Why hell?)

No, you are right. Doesn't only apply to objects, but a better choice of words for someone would be something other than ghorzawel.

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Wa chawa ... ? (Why hell?)

No, you are right. Doesn't only apply to objects, but a better choice of words for someone would be something other than ghorzawel.

hmmmm Wachawa is another word used in the same meaning....(sorry da hill pa zay mey hell oleeko)

[*Mahzala*]

hmmmm Wachawa is another word used in the same meaning....(sorry da hill pa zay mey hell oleeko)

Khair dai ... dwarha yaw shai di ... hell is a hill too ... just made me laugh. Not a problem. So my point was because there are quite a few alternatives, it differs for objects and 'non'-objects. If that makes sense ... ?

[Michin Khel]

We do use toap walan for jump

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

wacha is also used for some other purposes other than ghorzedal like:

1: Admin Khan maata hukum uko che Luffy jail ta wachawa....

2: Dekhwa raasha che da gulo haar darta ghaara ke wachawam..

4: Chargey agai wachola......

[*Mahzala*]

wacha is also used for some other purposes other than ghorzedal like:

1: Admin Khan maata hukum uko che Luffy jail ta wachawa....

2: Dekhwa raasha che da gulo haar darta ghaara ke wachawam..

4: Chargey agai wachola......

Your examples are classic. This example reminded me of my four-year-old nephew who always, when seated next to me while I am driving, says 'arrandde pe waa chawa!' - yaane - horn at him (other drivers).

But yes, I do see and understand the differences.

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

I think the usage of these words i.e Ghorzedal, Achwal,prewatal depends on the sentecne and circumstances..... (now prayer time will be back soon)

[Michin Khel]

what is pashto word for observation?

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Observation = Tsaarana (څارنه)

[Admin Khan]

1: He jumped in the air: Hagha' hawa ke top owaho.

Hagha pa hawa ke waghorzaidey

2: He fell from the car: hagha da motor na prwato/oghorzedo

Hagha da motar sakha walwaidey

3: He fell on the bed: Hagha kat ke/bandey prewato

Hagha pa chaparkat bandey praiwati.

4: The book fell down from my hand: Kitab zama da laas na khkata prwato/oghorzedo

Kitab zma da laas sakha washwaidey/walwaidey. If the book slipped out my hand, washwaidey, If the book just fell, walwaidey.

[Admin Khan]

wacha is also used for some other purposes other than ghorzedal like:

1: Admin Khan maata hukum uko che Luffy jail ta wachawa....

2: Dekhwa raasha che da gulo haar darta ghaara ke wachawam..

4: Chargey agai wachola......

I have noticed we make more of an emphasis on each word. For example, you said "chargai agai wachola", we would say "Chargey achai wachawala."

Mahzala,

YouTube - ON THE ROAD in Kandahar: Visit to a Pomegranate Orchard
YouTube - ON THE ROAD in Kandahar: Literary Culture

Watch the video, and let me know if you understand what the Kandaharis are saying. That is how we speak. Fast, and sweet. The videos I posted above are good comparisons, because you have a non-Kandahari and Kandaharis present in the same scene, while both are speaking Pashto.

I was looking for some videos on Youtube, and the above is what I stumbled upon.
