Mini-course: How to Speak Pashto - Pronouns

Welcome to the second lesson of our mini-course on how to speak Pashto. n this lesson, we’ll cover pronouns . Pashto pronouns are simple and can be learned easily in one go. For those who aren’t familiar with what the heck a pronoun is! A  pronoun is a word you use instead of a person’s or thing’s name. For example, if I’m talking about John: John is a good guy. John goes to work daily. John does his work with dedication. Using John again and again becomes repetitive and a bit awkward. So, we use a placeholder word , or a pronoun , for John,  “he.” Now it sounds more natural: John is a good guy. He goes to work daily. He does his work with dedication. There are three types of pronouns : First-person pronouns: I and We Second-person pronouns: You (and thou in Old English) Third-person pronouns: He / She / It The same concept applies in Pashto: Za = I Mong = We Hagha (ha-gha) = He / She Ta = You (singular) Ta-so = You (plural) Da ...

 Today’s post is something special! I'm excited to share my first collaboration with a multitalented individual and accomplished creator—my brother, Zakir Qureshi. Not only is he a skilled artist and painter, but he's also a 3D modeler, freelancer, and now a vlogger. His creativity and craftsmanship speak for themselves, and I’m thrilled to showcase his work here. Here is AI Avatar as imagined by Chat GPT. 

It is not just because he is my brother, I am promoting his work. But his art and craft are truly inspiring. Below are a few of his recent vlogs that highlight his unique style and artistic flair.

1. DIY Floating Shelf Project
Zakir dives into his first DIY adventure by crafting a floating shelf, with only minimal help from a carpenter for cutting wood planks. His attention to detail and spatial visualization make every step engaging, and the final setup showcases his ability to envision functional yet aesthetically pleasing dรฉcor. This project is a perfect example of his knack for balancing artistry with practicality—resulting in a shelf that enhances the space and speaks to his designer’s eye.

2. Halloween-Themed Witch House
Embracing the spooky season, Zakir pulls out all the stops with his Halloween-themed witch house, built from scratch using only cardboard. His flair for storytelling comes through as he adds every haunting detail. The final look? Perfectly spooky, with just the right mix of charm and fright. While he went all in on the theme, it’s clear his imagination knows no bounds.


3. Wall Renovation and Bookshelf Redo
In this hands-on renovation, Zakir starts by removing an old bookshelf, carefully repairs the wall behind it, and then reinvents the space with a fresh layer of wallpaper. This revamped wall not only becomes a great backdrop for his future vlogs but also demonstrates his resourcefulness in tackling even the grittiest parts of home decor. The final touch adds depth to his workspace, showing how he transforms ordinary spaces into something visually striking.

Did his vlogs spark some inspiration? Let me know your thoughts! And if you’re looking for a creative collaborator, Zakir’s talents extend to various mediums beyond YouTube. Feel free to explore his channels here and here. And reach out if you’re interested in working together on a design project.
