The official Pushto learning thread

[NJamal]

But I have seen those phones from Orange or Vodafone being used in Pakistan.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Yes you can use them once they are unlocked. This vodafone,orange etc are network companies same as mobilink,ufone etc. They are nt mobile makers, its just they offer you the contracts.


Btw in which phone you are interested?

 

[NJamal]

I am interested in IPhone 4. It is very expensive here.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

How much is it over there?

Here it will be about 450-500 but the problem with it is that they cant be unlocked yet, they can only be used by the sim with which it come.

 

[NJamal]

Here it is around 3500 dirhams.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Why not try blackberry? I dont think so an iphone4 from uk will work anywhere else! Or if you can confirm if someone overthere can unlock it?

 

[NJamal]

BB ba pa contract pa so milawege?

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

About 30 odd pounds

The pros of contract are

You dont need to pay all at once
You get free minutes/ mesaages/internet every month. This in normal case will be too costly to call.

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Aw chi if you are interested in any, then let me know.

 

[NJamal]

OK brother I will, Why are you not connected on FB?

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Too many frends online lol

 

[NJamal]

Ah OK

 

[Pakhtoon_Rules]

Instead of talking about private stuff all the time why don't you guys occasionly teach some pashto.

What are the basics of the language? Some basic vocabulary. How to ask for other guys name,age etc.

 

[Prince_Pathan]

abdullah i did tell quick single this a while back page 3 ish

but by all means what do you want to know and ill tell you now...since im online and people actually want to know something as opposed to caling me a racist and whatver else

 

[Ummer Khan]

I think sta(taso) num de means 'what is your name?'

PP------does da juwand me watan da para translate into 'this life of mine, is for my nation'.

 

[Abdullah22]

Hi,
Obviously I don't want to have a masters degree in pashtoo. Some basic chit-chat phrase would be perfect like:

How have you been?
What's up?
Long time no see?
And typical responses to these question.

Also how do you say:
''Khan-ji do teen naan laga do" -- Mr Khan please make two three naan.

So these are 1-10 in pashto:
Yao
Duwa
Dreya
Saloor
Pinzuh
Shpag
Wuh
Atta
Nawo
Lus

And typical responses to these question.

[MC]

NJamal bhai, what does 'mana' mean?

My Pathan friend back in Pakistan used to use this word a lot, like o mana meri baat tou suno...mana me tou kehta hoon etc

 

[NJamal]

^ That is not mana it is actually mara. It is just a slang like you say Abbay in urdu or Oye

 

[Prince_Pathan]

njamal rora urf pashto ustaad beat me to the translations

 

[Abdullah22]

Bold parts.

Thank you.
Have to learn them, hopefully the pronunciation isn't that bad.


So how do I say:

Come play with us.

Let's play together.

Can we play with you?

Do you speak Pashto?

I speak a little bit Pashto.

Do you live in the same place?

And how do you say these:

I - Yama?
You - Ta?
He
she
they
we

 

[NJamal]

Come play with us.

Raazaa moong sara loobey okaa.

Let's play together.

Za che yuzaey loobey oko.

Can we play with you?

Moong yuzaey loobey kolay sho?

Do you speak Pashto?

Ta Pukhtu wayley she? or Tala Pukhtu darzee?

I speak a little bit Pashto.

Za laga Pukhtu waley sham.

Do you live in the same place?

Ta hom de zae ke oosege?

And how do you say these:

I - Za Mine - Zama
You - Ta
He - Aaghaa Halak
she - Aghaa geenay
they - Aghaee
we - Moong

 

[Abdullah22]
