Pakhto Vocabulary: Words and their Meanings

[Admin Khan]

I've been told that we speak Pashto very fast. How much of that is really accurate?

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

Do you mind sharing a few sentences?

I mean, for you to say it is hard, I am sure it is something out of the ordinary.

Lol......they will chew pashto words......though most of the words they use are those that we use too but they will pronounce it differently in their own style......

I often hear this strange sentence from him when he is angree :

"Ker dey pa dabalee sha" which means "kor dey wraan sha" similarly he would say :Rheeeeend yeeeee nazar dey na' lageeeeeee (lengthening some words)

I haven't yet heard many, but I would agree Qandahari's speak very fast. I would be nervous meeting one. Writing it out, not much of a problem though.

A butchered dialect then? (I joke). Sounds interesting. I am yet to hear it.

I think the most difficult dialect in Pukhtunkhwa is The Banochi one......one of my colleague is living with for the last couple of years yet i hardly understand his pashto....

I agree with you, they place zair under words making them difficult to understand e.g for tora (sword) they use tira, for kor (home) they use kair.
also they have lot of unique vacublary for words.

Lol....in our area boys usually didn't keep hair like you mentioned.....we would say "Zulfey" for long hairs....What do marwat mean by "channhey"?

we use channhey for long hairs (male)

*Mahzala*, Adminkan is right. Disobedience is speensturgi. It means to not be obedient to a order by someone elder than you or a polite request.

For disobedient we use viran

[Yousafzai Pakhtun]

For disobedient we use viran

I think it is the word wran that we use for a naughty person.....but has changed to wiran as most of the tribes living on other side of Kohat tunnel place zeir under words as you mentioned.....Urdu daan do this with Farsi and Arabic words like they will say Nimaaz instead of Namaz, Rehmat (Rahmat Ar.), Behis (Bahas), Ighwa (Aghwa) etc..

[Michin Khel]

^ ya viran actually means naughty+disobedient but Keep your theory with yourself, urdadan zamana. for nimaz we use zmonj and placing zair trend is among bannuchis not us.
You were the one who said that marwatwala has no logic ,sar pair as they use chena instead of kena, while mazhala is making fun of banuchi dialect calling it butcherd dialect. you kheen dialect speakers have habit of making fun of any unusual/unique dialect u come across.

[Michin Khel]

What is Pashto word for snow?

wawra

[Darweshkhel]

Darweskhe so when you say da aksra khalag aksara is from arabic?

Yes AKSAR (most) is arabic, from KASEER (many). Same structure with more words used in Pashto/Dari/Urdo like KABEER (big) - AKBAR (biggest); JAMEEL (pretty) - AJMAL (prettiest); KAREEM - AKRAM; QADEEM - AQDAM; etc.

Zhami.

Luffy khan! No one is making fun of any dialect........i haven't said that marwati dialect has no logic....actually in a thread i have said that there are some words in marwatwala pukhto that didn't abide rules and there i had given the example of "chena".....da Qalandar saib hagha misra rayada shwa che: "Jang ba dey koor kari vee, mung na pa sahra khafa shwey"
