Question

How to say " love you" in Pashto?

Community Answer

Za means I or me. Ta Sara means with you. Meena means love. Lara means I have. So in Pashto, you'd say: Za ta Sara Meena laram.

Question

Do Pashto letters connect the same way Arabic letters do? I mean, are the letters that can/can't connect to letters before/after them the same as in Arabic?

Fozya

Community Answer

Yes, the way the letters connect are the same. The difference is a few more grammar rules and more letters in Pashto than in Arabic. For example, Pashto has all the letters of Arabic and several more.

Question

As a Farsi speaker, is it easier to learn Pashto?

Kevaughn

Community Answer

Pashto is a different language than Dari and Farsi. Native Pashto speakers often learn Dari, but few Dari speakers have a good command of Pashto. Formal Farsi and Dari are very similar, but differences in pronunciation and the use of certain words are more noticeable when they are spoken informally.

Question

Is Urdu similar to Pashto?

Markovich R.

Community Answer

In some aspects, yes, about as similar as Chinese and Japanese are, yet have clear, glaring distinctions. However, you will also find plenty of similarities, such as basic outlines in writing and phonetics.
