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 …”. Mastering this structure is a key milestone in How to speak Pashto , because it allows you to describe objects, places, and people from day one. 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. For masculine nouns, we commonly use “de”, while feminine nouns often use “da” depending on context and dialect. At the beginner level, focusing on commonly used masculine examples helps learners build confidence ...

Gen Z and Sustainability: How Gen Z Is Prioritizing Planet Sustainability - by Memoona Ameer

There’s a new generation in town, and they’re armed with Hydro Flasks, a distrust of fast fashion, and a wicked sense of eco-humor. That is our Gen Z.

Gen Z isn’t just talking about sustainability; they’re weaving it into their daily lives in ways that are as savvy as they are Instagrammable.

a group of gen-z working and chatting

Forget the outdated image of environmentalists. This isn’t about sacrificing style or convenience; it’s about being smart. Why buy a new polyester top from a questionable brand when you can score a unique vintage Levi’s jacket for half the price? Thrifting isn’t just shopping; it’s a competitive sport and a zero-carbon-footprint flex.

Their activism is baked into their consumer habits. They’re the ones scanning QR codes to check a brand’s ethics before they buy, calling out greenwashing in comment sections, and making “de-influencing” a genuine trend. Their entire digital ecosystem, from GRWM-to-save-the-earth-TikToks to memes about the mental load of remembering your reusable coffee cup, normalizes eco-consciousness.

It’s a powerful, collective side-eye to the status quo. They get that you can’t individually clean your way out of a corporate-made mess, but they’re also proving that small, conscious choices add up to a massive cultural shift. They’re demanding better from the world they’re inheriting, and honestly? We should all be taking notes.

The planet’s future is looking a lot cooler, thanks to them.
