Hamam was a place many went to take showers. They sold soaps in Hamam's as well.Originally posted by Aseer JaanEven Adobe Photoshop can't change me.
A line[Durrand line] of hatred that raised a wall between the two brothers -Hamid Karzai
For generations, the Hindus of India prayed for deliverance from "the venom of the cobra, the teeth of the tiger and the vengeance of the Afghan."
The men of Kábul and Khilj also went home; and whenever they were questioned about the Musulmáns of the Kohistán (the mountains), and how matters stood there, they said, "Don't call it Kohistán, but Afghánistán; for there is nothing there but Afgháns and disturbances." Thus it is clear that for this reason the people of the country call their home in their own language Afghánistán, and themselves Afgháns. The people of India call them Patán; but the reason for this is not known. But it occurs to me, that when, under the rule of Muhammadan sovereigns, Musulmáns first came to the city of Patná, and dwelt there, the people of India (for that reason) called them Patáns—but God knows!

Fiance = Changhol (male) Changhala (female)
Though in my family if you openly talked about your changhol/changhala you'd have to be very brave. They are almost like forbidden words, such is the notion of "ghairat".Last edited by tor_khan; 08-21-2010, 06:18 AM.

Fiancee, the real pashto word is changhol (male) or changhalla (female).
Culture, is also called kaltoor, but i think the real pashto words, may be, Zwak or dod, and for swimming pool, Hawaz, or dand.
These words like manzad, farhang, etc are persian words, and it will be from the brothers from afghanistan due to darri influence.Comment

I think doodh is a word for " trait", whereas Kaltoor is a comprehensive word to denote culture. Doodh is a part of culture.Originally posted by rihanaComment
