Family Relationships
In Afghanistan, family bonds are very strong, and the family is the cornerstone of society. People tend to have large families and stay close to their relatives. Here are some Dari words related to family relationships:
Dari | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
پدر | pedar | father |
مادر | madar | mother |
برادر | barādar | brother |
خواهر | khwāhar | sister |
دایی | dāyi | uncle |
خاله | khālah | aunt |
بچه | bachche | child |
فرزند | farzand | offspring, child |
پسر | pesar | son |
دختر | dokhtar | daughter |
نوه | noh | grandson/granddaughter |
والدین | wāledān |
In Dari, the word "wāledān" refers to both parents together. To specify which parent you are referring to, you can use the words "pedar" (father) and "madar" (mother).
Other Relationships
Apart from family, there are other kinds of relationships that we form as we go through life. Here are some Dari words related to these relationships:
Dari | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
دوست | dust | friend |
همسایه | hamsāye | neighbor |
همکار | ham-kār | colleague |
دوست دختر | dust dokhtar | girlfriend |
دوست پسر | dust pesar | boyfriend |
نامزد | nāmzad | fiancé/fiancée |
همراه زندگی | hamrāh-e zendegi | life partner |
همسر | hamsar | spouse |
همجنس | hamjens | same-sex partner |
It's worth noting that in Afghanistan, dating and romantic relationships outside of marriage are generally not accepted culturally. Therefore, words for romantic partners such as "girlfriend" and "boyfriend" might not be frequently used in daily conversations.
Using the Vocabulary
To use the vocabulary we have just learned, let's look at some example sentences:
- پابند به خانواده خود باشید. (Pāband be khānevāde-ye khod bāshid.) - "Be true to your family."
- مادر من توی حمام است. (Mādar-e man tuy hamām ast.) - "My mother is in the bathroom."
- او دایی بزرگ خود را دوست دارد. (U dāyi-e bozorg-e khod rā dust dārad.) - "He loves his uncle very much."
- همسایه ما خیلی صبور است. (Hamsāye-ye mā khāli sabur ast.) - "Our neighbor is very patient."
- همکار جدید من خیلی باهوش است. (Ham-kār-e jadid-e man khāli bāhush ast.) - "My new colleague is very intelligent."
- دوست پسر من مرا دعوت کرده است. (Dust pesar-e man mā rā da'wat karde ast.) - "My boyfriend has invited me."
- میخواهم با همراه زندگی خود ازدواج کنم. (Mikhwāham bā hamrāh-e zendegi-ye khod ezdevāj konam.) - "I want to marry my life partner."
- همجنسگرایی در افغانستان قانونی نیست. (Hamjens-garāyi dar Afghānestān qānūni nist.) - "Same-sex relationships are not legal in Afghanistan."
