I post whatever I find interesting

@avzaagzonunaada Yes, Pashto has lots. One such case is to differentiate between the perfective and imperfective aspects of a verb in the same tense. For example; kénāstəm(perfective) vs kenāstə́m(imperfective). See the vowel quality does not change in Pashto.

[Farrukh Khan @Khancium]

Not exactly cause the vowel quality does change too.

English has some weird quirks.

A number of words in English are NOUNS when you stress the FIRST syllable...

But VERBS when you stress the SECOND syllable.

-SUSpect/susPECT
-CONflict/conFLICT
-PROtest/proTEST
-CONvert/conVERT

Feel like we are not concerned enough about the screen time of the elders. They are getting their brains scrambled on the daily with bullshit of all kind.

A little nuance of modern American English I just noticed is that we ask “have you seen“ when inquiring about movies and “have you watched“ when inquiring about TV shows.

@0rion_7 But, then in your case it should also happen with 20. Do you say shal lupay tho?

[Farrukh Khan @Khancium]

@0rion_7 Though, I don't say it like this myself but it's an interesting case of phonemic assimilation.

Why do Pakis write نکاح as 'nikkah' in Roman when there is no tashdid on ک?

[Farrukh Khan @Khancium]

@HasanMS_10016 @avzaagzonunaada Pashtuns of the adjacent regions like Bajawar, Dir and Swat also pronounce ق.

Muslim men, have you forgotten that your lap and knees are part of your awrah?

Have haya and cover up !!!

@LYousufzai2022 Thank you. Show these cult followers why we are in such a state today.

[Farrukh Khan @Khancium]

@muratkaryan This is grossly inaccurate

[Farrukh Khan @Khancium]

@HasanMS_10016 Step-mother = maira, meranəɪ mor
stepson(kid from ex-husband of your wife) = parkaṭaɪ
stepson(kid from second/ex wife of your husband) = bənzaɪ
stepdaughter(kid from ex-husband of your wife)= parkaṭəɪ
stepdaughter(kid from second/ex wife of your husband) = bənzəɪ

[Farrukh Khan @Khancium]

@HasanMS_10016 That for you to etymologically figure out given how in Pashto the phonemes **t and d** lambdacise into **l** quite often.

[Farrukh Khan @Khancium]

@PashtoLang That's fine. You might be a Mandokhail, marwat, bettani, kundi, etc. I have interacted with the speakers of these dialects but haven't registered this pronunciation from them. Though, yes, they do regularly palatalize that's why I have heard تږیې but never تږیه.

@PashtoLang Where are you from exactly in the south?
