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 = This / It

So, with this primer in mind, check out the lesson—and don’t forget to share it with friends who want to learn how to speak Pashto.
