Salaam everyone!

I've been reading threads on this forum for quite some time now, but for some reason never registered. I'm 21 years old, originally from Khost and I really want to get more intouch with the Pashtun culture and language. Po Paktho za peigam, kho khabare nashem kawale, coz I was only born there and my mother is from the Caucasus. Anyway, I hope I will have alot of interesting discussions on this forum and who knows, maybe even brush up my Pashto a little.

Thank you all for the warm welcome! And Master Khan, thanks, I will try to remember that. I don't even know why I wrote it that way, because I pronounce it exactly as you wrote it.

Where in the Caucasus is your mother from ?
That's a fascinating area.
How did your parents meet, then?
I'd be interested to hear more about this.

It is quite a fascinating area, but unfortunetly also quite a tumultuous area. My mom is a mixture of different peoples from the Caucasus. She has Armenian, Azeri and Russian blood among others. But further down the family tree other ethnicities appear aswell. Her family lived all across Armenia, Russia and Azerbeidjan. My dad was a student in the Soviet Union, thats how he met my mom. They married and nine years later the world was blessed with my birth.

Thanks for answering that nosy question, perhaps.

So, was your father an Afghan who was one of the thousands who went to Moscow
or Tashkent during the time of Khalq and Parcham ?

Or he was from K.P. area ?

Pahair raghalay wrora. No need to apologize, It is because of your khost dialect. The khost dialect uses wo in place of alaf and alaf in place of wo. For example you pronounce your city khast but the rest of pashtuns pronounce it khost and sun "mair" as "mor." It is a very interesting dialect.

There is a funny story when I was in khost. I was with a farsiban and I introduced him to a khostie friend, the khostie told him that he would like to invite him to his "Kair" because instead of "kor" for home, the khostie said "kair." anyways in farsi "kair" means the male genetalia. So the farsiban responded what the hell are you saying. I explained to the farsiban that the "a" and "wo" sound are interchanged in the khost pashto dialect.
But I will never forget the look on the farsibans face.
