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:

Hagha (ha-gha) = He / She

Ta = You (singular)
-
Ta-so = You (plural)
-
