Mini-Course: How To Speak Pashto - Lesson 3 "This is"

In this lesson of our Pashto mini-course, we focus on one of the most important and beginner-friendly grammar rules in Pashto: using “Da … de” to say “This is …”.

In English, we say, “This is a house.” In Urdu, the equivalent is “Yeh ghar hai.” In Pashto, the same idea is expressed as “Da kor de.” Here, “Da” means this, “kor” means house, and “de” (pronounced like day but with a soft 'D' as in fa th er) works like is. This sentence structure is extremely common in everyday Pashto conversations and forms the foundation of Pashto language basics. Pashto also has masculine and feminine nouns , just like Urdu.

How Polite Are You, Really? Find Your Courtesy Quotient (CQ)

In our fast-paced world, where emails replace handshakes and meetings often happen on screens, how we treat others still matters—a lot. This is where your Courtesy Quotient comes into play.  Much like emotional intelligence , the Courtesy Quotient (CQ) reflects how respectful, considerate, and tactful you are in everyday interactions—whether at home, in the office, or among friends.

From workplace etiquette to social grace , each question measures a slice of your social awareness . In...
