welcome bro

[786]

Welcome here. Why did you name your thread as security consultant?

that's what i am.

Welcome wrora. We have many people who here who teach pashto.

thanks for the warm welcome

[786]

Staray Masay.

Welcome here to Pashtun Forums. Really nice to have you here wrora. We are like a big family here. Stay active and post your views in all our threads.

how did you find Pashtun forums?

dera manana (hope that's right)

i believe i google'd "pashto sentences" and your pashto basics thread popped up. after browsing that section for awhile i thought it would be good to join. thanks for all the great info and warm welcome!

[786]

also sir.

we have 2 professors who teach Pashto for free.

Professor Tor Khan
Professor OSHO

you can follow there classes.

or make your own thread in Pashto section and we will all help you. we are a community of Pashtuns. Invite all ur pashtun friends to join here wrora.

very good to know, im fluent in urdu but there is very little similarity between the two languages. i think the current threads are very helpful, its going to take time to go through and digest those first!

unfortunately, i don't have any pashtun friends but if i come across any ill be sure to direct them this way.

786 Jaan,

What does a security consultant do? if you dont mind sharing with the community.

not at all, i will be doing intelligence analyst work mainly. im at bagram afb or in the field. if i can survive the next couple years (Inshallah) i should be set for life. :D

Welcome at PF. Hope u ll learn manythings from here

[786]

thanks, hope so too.

[786]

Welcome aboard. I hope you dont just disappear on us after you learned what you haved to learn.

lol, is that common?

im very selective as to which boards i join, if i have taken the time to register rest assured im not going anywhere.

[786]

Its not really common, but I have seen a few people who join to tell us how much they love a Pashtun. How they need help in there relationship. When we help them. They just leave. Id say out of our thousand members only 2-3?

im not in a relationship with a pashtun or anyone else so no worries there.

[786]

bhai sahab aap ka aana sai hum sun log kosh hain. aap sindhi hain ya punjabi?

haha very good! im pathan actually. im happy to be here too.

[786]

Rule number 1.

Dont ever call yourself or a PASHTUN a Pathan. Its a big insult to us Pashtuns.

We are not Pathans. we are PUKHTUNS/PASHTUNS.

Pathan means women-kidnapper. Do you kidnap woman brother? Pathan is sanscript word for women kidnapper.

When Kandaharys ruled India. They supposedly took some Indian woman and Persian woman. Therefore they were known as PATHAN. Now sadly many people in Pakistan say they are Pathan without knowing meaning behind it.

wow, my apologies! i had no idea, my ancestors are from afghanistan. in pakistan everybody referred to me as pathan so i assumed it was the correct label. sorry if i offended you!
