Thread: пашту

sup peoples?? i started my pashtu classes a few weeks ago. Its going pretty well...considering its pashtu. But the teachers are really nice. One of them moved to the soviet union in the 80's instead of being a wuss moving to britian or something like alot of other afghans. He ended up being like a professor of Russian at moscow university for like 10 years, and he really likes me and we speak russian all the time.

The DLI is weird though. Its fast and slow paced at the same time. At worst i was worried about forgetting Russian, but i dont think it will happen, i havnt studied at all and i barely pay attention in class, and im like, the best one in there. Also, the level they teach you to isnt even that great. it makes you proficiant but, its not great. Before i started class, i was helping some people study for their FINAL exams and DLPT for russian, and they were amazed at how good i was. I have a friend across the hall from me who is in week 37 of 47 and i do his homework for him=)) Also, about a week before i started class, they ran our of russian teachers fpr "Jumpstart". Its like a class you take while you're on details to prep you for the real class. Anyways they let me teach it cuz they didnt have anybody else who could. that was really fun, i didnt have to go to work sweeping sidewalks and cleaning the same window for 8 hours, i got to teach russian instead, it was A BLAST.

But yeaaa im not sure where im going with this other than to just drop a line. Wanted to say hi to all my homies on the board and let u know im still alive. I cant get on much cuz the only places that have internet are like a mile away in each direction, or straight down the hill into monterey, which is fine untill you have to walk back up.

anyways hi and stuff. cya.

About 2 weeks ago he thought he was translating something about strong winds in oregone. Untill... I told him that it was Ураган, and not Oregone. Вах! теперь ясно.

Staying out of trouble? Hardly. Hazing? not so much anymore. But there are new people everyweek, so the cycle continues.

Hey there Dog! It is good to hear from you. I find you stories of life in the USAF language department interesting. I drove past Lismore, NSW the other day and thought about you. Right now I am in Maroochydore QLD ....up north!

BTW, it's пушту, not пашту.

Превед и кагдила! Nice to see you here again Dogboy. Пешы исчо!

So Dogboy....? Are going to take a DLPT in Russian? If your Russian is as good as graduating students you should.

Let us know what you get.

I tried. they wont let me. As far as the air force and russian goes, they are f*cking me every which way from sunday. They wouldnt let me DLPT, and i was talking to a sargent who could have possibly switched me to russian classes, i guess she put the word in for me, but her "boss" never got back to her.

it sucks too, my friend let me borrowe his practice DLPT and i was doing everything up to 3+. I know i could have got at least a 2+.

Oh well, ill just have to try my luck in a year at the new DLPT 5

In Russian, dear Dogboy, it's only "oo". You can pervert the word in English if you like but not in our language! And, oh, forget, welcome back!

Not at all. In Russian it can be пашто, пушту, пашту and maybe others. Type them in here - http://slovari.yandex.ru/search.xml?text=пашто

Not at all. In modern and correct Russian it is Пушту. Period

The Brokhaus Encyclopedia, published in early 1910s, and the Literary Dictionary, published in 1920s by some crackheds who use the падонки-style spelling (Авганистан - doh!), are no authority on the present-day spelling.

Well, in modern Russian Пушту is prevailing. That would be the correct statement.

You can also look at the Soviet Encyclopedia (Second edition) and at modern science books:
