^ ganda weena da?
that wasnt really nice

thank u for the WARM welcome people

dont mind them all


blade stop making stupid comments like that

 

[Prince_Pathan]

Rightio. I have a question peeps.

I have two pathan teachers and they both speak pushto completely differently. Meaning, when I go to one to learn something, or when I converse with the other, I get completely different response as to what I did get from the other. Why is this? I'm confused. :S



You mean yourself. :adnan

regional dialects

theres the "yousufzai pashto" and then the "tribal pashto" as people call it

but ultimately it is pashto

"wai aghyar che da dozakh jaba da, wai aghyar che da dozakh jaba da kho zo ba janat tha pukhto sara zam"

 

[pukhtana]

@p_r ..u shd b happy ppl want to learn pashto.. and also stop showing so much arrogance

@blade.. take a hike to hell..

Oh, okay. I hadn't known there were regional dialects of pushto too. 'Tis a bit confusing.

So I am guessing most of the words/phrases used are still similar?

Sorry for my ignorance, but what does that mean?

@p_r ..u shd b happy ppl want to learn pashto.. and also stop showing so much arrogance

Don't mind him. He is not arrogant tho.

And welcome to PP, pukhtana. Hope you have a good time here.

Hey guys! Ghali nast yee?(Why are you peeps quiet?)

So today who saw the match?(Nan, sook de match katalay?)

It was very disappointing.. 222 was an ok score, but getting the first wicket at 170? Not good!

Imran farhat and shoaib malik need to be shown the pavilion for good now!

And afridi surprised me! Played better thn expectd..love him regardless!

P.s. Pls correct whatever little pashtu I wrote! I'll be posting some pashto lessons very soon from other places I picked off the net

P.p.s why do you all need to be reminded to be woken up!!

 

[Prince_Pathan]

haha na mung uda na yo,
pakhtoon rules patha nishta charta larao

i dont know where he went, well i do know where he went but theres been no reason given which is unfortunate but not surprising

ummm the first bit was right

second bit

taso nan da match katalay wo? as opposed to what you said

taso basically means you guys, nan means today,

your willingness to learn is impressive ish

[pukhtana]

and just so it doesnt look too terrorizing, il break it into a few stanzas:


urr chi bali ki
Luge te khi che
Da bey lugay lambay zma da zrra nazeena
Orrta hijra
Khaore rekrram
Cha ta na rekrram cha ta ukrram faryadoona
Intehaa na da
Aw ibteda da
Anjaam pakhair che
Intehaa bus sanga weena
Angaar me pyaar
Gaz rrata za shu
Samu da pasmi da ya rukrral di danoona
Grana da grana sta judaai

 

[pukhtana]

Mil tun da ghruno aw pasr raghe ra kuzay makrrai raja wai sur ghoolona
bil tun da zrra pasar surekrram

pa judaai de khafa na yum khafa pade yum jera kig khpal weena
pa judaai de zaa akh takrram pakhpala larray za te cha ta preekhadama
pa khla ba jang dar sara ukrrram da zrra koseeb dar na sanga be lawuma
pa khu gash na me salaam waya ya wal taha yum ji me herna karri mayana

 

[pukhtana]

tan me dashne nakri zeparra bahar ta za tana na rang pawi nu yama
tan me shjr mena samar de bil tu naksar owesa **** **** weena
to ratya ra da aur na de weenam pa zan ze ri chaar kul de keegda mashaloona
tu rutya ro ki three na pat shwam bil tun pa pakh ki rata bal krra mashaloona

[pukhtana]

ta paghya washwi aw za pa ba la bil tun na tarsay me ta dan ta na preg deenaa

Literal meaning is "do you know pashto"

Time to revive this thread!
[MENTION=136108]Donal Cozzie[/MENTION], you can learn pashto here too

 

[96NotOut]

Let's teach [MENTION=136108]Donal Cozzie[/MENTION] Urdu first.

 

[blinding light]

Chapsha gana bachein = Be quiet kids
khaayum = fine
yakhh = cold
garam = hot

Thats all I know so far! But I'm going over the pages - it would be fantastic is someone can break down and provide the grammar of pashto (so we can make sentences on our own)

 

[96NotOut]

All I know is nishta.

 

[blinding light]

Let's teach [MENTION=136108]Donal Cozzie[/MENTION] Urdu first.

Given the overlap in between these languages, I'd say it doesn't matter which one he learns first. Should he know either one of them, then he could easily learn the other.

One thing I learned about Pashto : Persian-speakers consider it almost a pidgin form of Farsi. One of my Persian friends said to me that I should devote my time learning Farsi. If I know Farsi (and since Urdu is my mother tongue), then I'll "automatically" know pashto!

 

[blinding light]

All I know is nishta.

What does that mean?

 

[96NotOut]

[MENTION=131701]Mamoon[/MENTION] posted a list of a few words that got deleted with his thread.

 

[96NotOut]

What does that mean?

I think "no".

 

[blinding light]

^ Yeah I know.. I meant the words getting deleted bit..

Interesting! how do we say yes?

Taso sunga yay? = How are you? (respectably, towards an elder)
Or, Sunga yay = How are you? (informal-towards a friend or someone younger)
you can reply Tik Taak, or Za Kha yum = I'm fine
thank you- Merabaani

Found this in this thread!

Pashto is like Urdu? But they sound so different.

But yeah, I've heard Pashto and Farsi are similar too.

 

[96NotOut]

Let's just go through these 9 pages and see what we can find.

 

[96NotOut]

Zama naam 96NotOut daraz de.

 

[Mamoon]

Pashto and Farsi are very different from each other, granted there are a few common words. Your friends like to exaggerate.

 

[Mamoon]

Zama numm 96NotOut de = My name is 96NotOut.

 

[blinding light]

Pashto is like Urdu? But they sound so different.

But yeah, I've heard Pashto and Farsi are similar too.

A lot of words are shared, from whatever little I know.

With Farsi, I know for sure that the sentence structure is identical to Urdu.

 

[blinding light]

Pashto and Farsi are very different from each other, granted there are a few common words. Your friends like to exaggerate.

Woah, you know Farsi too?

They sound similar actually

 

[blinding light]

Zama = Me or my or mine?

 

[96NotOut]

Zama numm 96NotOut de = My name is 96NotOut.

Gracias.

 

[DHONI183]

I think that "yakkh" ("cold") is a word that even (some) Punjabis use, but with a combination of another word. Hence, they say, "Thannda yakkh paani!" Often used in phrases to scold the maid when she was instead supposed to 'prepare' warm water for your bath. *Village life secrets and memories.*

 

[96NotOut]

You use "yakkh" in Urdu too, the exact same phrase: Thanda yakkh paani.

 

[blinding light]

Yep, yakhh is used in Urdu/Punjabi too
