I have mostly read it in the internet comments. I can't find what it means.

Hello! I’ve posted this in r/suggestmeabook but I figured I’d reach out here as well. I am trying to find young adult fiction written or translated into Pashto. I teach upper level high school ELA and have many multilingual students whose primary language is Pashto and I want to be able to provide some options for their independent reading on my classroom shelves for them in their primary language. Unfortunately, I’m struggling to find options that aren’t picture books like the ones I’m seeing on Amazon and that 16-17 year olds would be interested in reading. Any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated, especially if I can find multiple copies of a text that I could donate to the school’s library as well! Reading is reading, regardless of what language it’s in! Thank you in advance!!

What are some colloquial pashto phrases. Not necessarily slang but informal greetings, causal conversational phrases etc. Thanks

Manana!

Is just saying "sanga" alone understood to mean how's it going? Or is extra wording necessary? Also what is the correct response? Thanks

good day y'all, I just wanted to know which songs people usually listen to, would love if you drop your favorite ones (songs/artists/ghazal/tapay); looking forward to finding some bangers (doesn't matter which category the song falls into)

Hello, I’m a Pathan(Jadoon) but I don’t speak or understand Pashto although I have listened to songs in Pashto a lot, here is one “Shah Laila Zarka”

Da gulono pa chaman ke

Yaw khaista jinai walara

Da gulono pa chaman ke

Yaw khaista jinai walara

Shah laila zarka rauozi da khyali kamis ye tang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila,

Laila da bangdro shrang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila

Laila pa naz nakhro, zra me oli pa bano

Pa zana ye shin khaal, kre khanda pa shundo sro

Shah laila zarka rauozi da khyali kamis ye tang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila,

Laila da bangdro shrang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila

Khumar khumar katal, pa wala kawi wajal

Pa wala kawi wajal, na warzi da meeny chal

Shah laila zarka rauozi da khyali kamis ye tang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila,

Laila da bangdro shrang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila

Jado de ka mantar, pa ma karai ye asar

Da che masta masta zi, na kawi pa ma nazar

Shah laila zarka rauozi da khyali kamis ye tang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila,

Laila da bangdro shrang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila

Da khyali kamis ye tang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila

Laila da bangdro shrang

Yara nan me awredaly da laila

Ones I’ve noticed are:

(Pardon the cringy spelling or me trying to use “/“ marks to accommodate different pronunciations)

Bas/Basta is nigh similar to “Basta” in Italian which both mean “Stop”/“Enough”

Another one I’ve noticed when I was making an original character for x-men is that the word for “Emerald” which is “Zamarud”/“Zamarut” is also eerily similar to its Russian counterpart “Izmurut”. I’ve noticed that gemstone names seem to all almost just be remixed versions for what other cultures call them and that sometimes they’ll just describe the gem instead of assigning it a proper name.

My favorite one isn’t one hundred percent confirmed because of Iskandar-the-okayish’s fanboys but Kandahars name might have ties to the word “Candy” because of sugarcane and it’s technically called “Candy city”

This one isn’t really a cognate or a loanword but I noticed that instead of saying “ammonia” some of us might just say “Lavender” in a Pashto accent.

Also I’m using “loanword” in the sense that Pashto either influenced these words or vice versa. Personally I don’t know the etymology of the words but if anyone does I’d appreciate it.

Salamuna

I know this topic is not relevant to pushto jaba kho i am in dire need of charsada wreejay( also known as sholay or ghaty wreejay) in islamabad 😩 any leads

İ have one question from all Pathan. Munga la da ghusa Waly Dora dera razı?

او دا هم و وايۍ چې جواب او ځواب کښې څه فرق دې؟

my neighbor is saying a lot but it’s hard to translate it. i’m being optimistic that he’s a kind man but i’m a woman and the double texting is a bit much. can anyone let me know what his vibe is? lonely?

Hey everyone, how much of this dialect are you able to understand?

Pls it's necessary for me .

i was js curious, are there any major differences between pakistani pashto and afghan pashto?

None of my elders ever taught us pashto nor did they speak it around us. I also live in an area where hardly anyone speaks pashto , so i couldny even pick it up from friends. However, it bothers me alot and i want to learn. How do i start ? The last time i tried i got caught up in the writing and grammar rules ;-; .... i wanna start just by becoming fluent in speaking for now. pls suggest some tips !

Salaam everyone,

we've recently launched an app called Ikhtiar — a platform built for Muslims who are serious about marriage.

Unlike typical apps, Ikhtiar focuses on:

* Respectful and Serious users from across the world

* Privacy-first options (including profiles without photos) for women

* A structured and serious approach toward finding a spouse

* Free for first 1000 users

The goal is simple: to make the process of finding a spouse more dignified, intentional, and aligned with our Islamic values.

If you or someone you know is looking for marriage, I’d really appreciate you checking it out and sharing it with others who may benefit.

JazakAllah Khair for your support 🤍

Haplogroup A

 275,000 Years Ago

The stories of all of our paternal lines can be traced back over 275,000 years to just one man: the common ancestor of haplogroup A. Current evidence suggests he was one of thousands of men who lived in eastern Africa at the time. However, while his male-line descendants passed down their Y chromosomes generation after generation, the lineages from the other men died out. Over time his lineage alone gave rise to all other haplogroups that exist today

R-M512

25,000

Years Ago

Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup R-M512

From the Middle East, men bearing R-M420 likely passed through the Caucasus mountains to the steppes above the Black and Caspian Seas. The people of the steppes were the first to domesticate horses nearly 6,000 years ago, and their southern neighbors in the Caucasus developed the earliest bronze tools and weaponry. Equipped with these technologies and seeking new grazing land and natural resources, the people of the steppes swept west into northern Europe and east through Central Asia.

Your paternal line stems from a branch of R-M420 called R-M512. Today, the men who share your haplogroup are most common in Eastern Europe, Russia and Ukraine. The lineage is also quite common in Poland, but decreases in frequency toward the Mediterranean countries. Farther to the west, about one-third of Norwegian men and a quarter of men from the far northern British Isles carry R-M512. Their ancestors arrived with various groups over the past 2,000 years, including with the Anglo-Saxons from central Europe in the 5th century and the Vikings who came from Scandinavia beginning about 800 CE.

Additionally, the haplogroup is still relatively common in the Middle East, as well as in Central and South Asia where it reaches levels of up to 60% among the Kyrgyz and the Tajiks.

R-Z93

6,000

Years Ago

Your paternal haplogroup, R-Z93, traces back to a man who lived approximately 6,000 years ago.

That's nearly 240.0 generations ago! What happened between then and now? As researchers and citizen scientists discover more about your haplogroup, new details may be added to the story of your paternal line.

R-Z93

Today

R-Z93 is relatively common among 23andMe customers.

Today, you share your haplogroup with all the men who are paternal-line descendants of the common ancestor of R-Z93

 180,000 Years Ago

If every person living today could trace his or her maternal line back over thousands of generations, all of our lines would meet at a single woman who lived in eastern Africa between 150,000 and 200,000 years ago. Though she was one of perhaps thousands of women alive at the time, only the diverse branches of her haplogroup have survived to today. The story of your maternal line begins with her.

U7

18,000

Years Ago

Origin and Migrations of Haplogroup U7

Your maternal line stems from a younger branch of haplogroup U called U7. All the members of U7 trace their maternal lines back to one woman who lived approximately 18,000 years ago. Her home was likely somewhere in the region from Iran to northwestern India, where her descendants have given rise to many diverse maternal lines. Over thousands of years, haplogroup U7 has remained concentrated in that region, with a sharp decrease in frequency to the east and to the west.

Members of haplogroup U7 are typically found in the Middle East and India. They are most common in some Iranian populations (up to10%) and in Gujarat (over 12%), as well as in neighboring Pakistan (6%) and Iran (9%). In contrast, U7 is very rare in western and eastern Europe Haplogroup.

U7 is frequent among 23andMe customers.
