Abdulhadi Hairan : Government of real thieves in Kabul

Sun, 4 Apr 2010 07:35:05 +0000

Dear Dr. Musa, thank you for your comment. The issue is not solved, of course. I contacted many offices but it seems there is no government at all. It is extremely disappointing and annoying. Brought a man from the electricity office in Deh Mazang but then found that the meter was locked. When tried to call the man who locks the meter, none of his numbers worked. The man from the Deh Mazang office does not know what to do. He works for the government, but we have to bring him in a taxi and then pay for his return to the office like a property dealer.

Abdulhadi Hairan : Haiku: from Japanese to Pashto

Sun, 14 Mar 2010 10:12:51 +0000

Dear Alan, Of course, Haiku is written in nearly every language around the world. In Pashto, it is now a well-known and fully acceptable genre of poetry. It was not the case with many other genres which came to Pashto from western poetry. Many of them were rejected and nobody knows about them. But Haiku is very popular now.

Abdulhadi Hairan : Learning Pashto Online: Useful Information

Thu, 18 Feb 2010 08:43:06 +0000

Dear Andres, Did not this help you? The use of Pashto ya (د پښتو ياگانو استعمال) There are five yas (ياگانې) used in Pashto: ى، ي، ې، ئ، ۍ Following are some examples for the proper usage of each: ى is called small ya and is used primarily in singular words. It is silent if it comes after alif (ا), for example, خداى (God), ځاى (place). Examples of its usage in singular words: سړى (man); منګى (pottery water-pot); ملګرى (colleague) زما ورور زما ملګرى هم دى My brother is also my colleague. Hint: In the Pashto script that is used in Pakistan, ے is used instead of ى. So they write the above words like this: سړے, منګے, ملګرے. ي called big ya and is used primarily in plural words. Examples: سړي (men); منګي (pottery water-pots); ملګري (colleagues) انجلۍ دوه منګي په سر کړي دي The girl is carrying two water-pots. When it is not used at the end of the word, it is not necessary to be used only in plural words. Examples: مينه (love); حسينه (beautiful); مشين (machine) ې called soft ya and is used primarily in words with deep sound. Examples: سندرې (songs); پاڼې (pages); پستې (soft); وړې (small) When it is not used at the end of the word, it is not necessary to be used only in plural words. Examples: مېنه (house; fort); پېغله (a maid); ئ is another Pashto ya used only in words of command. Examples: لاړ شئ (go), مه ځئ (do not go), کار بس کړئ (stop working) که غواړئ چې بريالي شئ نو زيار وکاږئ. If you want to succeed, work hard. ۍ is the fifth and last ya used primarily in feminine words. Examples: انجلۍ (a girl), سپوږمۍ (the moon), کورنۍ (a family). ما د ښاپېرۍ کيسه ولوسته. I read the fairy tale. Remember that this ya is used only at the end of the words.

Thanks Yad Sahib. You remember we had written a similar report on the IDPs in Peshawar. We had visited them in Kacha Garhi camp near Hayatabad.
