@ -32,6 +32,35 @@ In Pashto the [jussive form](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jussive_mood) is used
|
|||
|
||||
In English we would say something like "May he...", "Let them...", "May God..."
|
||||
|
||||
In Pashto you encounter phrases like this:
|
||||
|
||||
<Examples opts={opts}>
|
||||
{[
|
||||
{
|
||||
p: "خدای دې خیر وکړي",
|
||||
f: "khUdaay de kheyr ookRee",
|
||||
e: "May God do what's good/beneficial",
|
||||
},
|
||||
{
|
||||
p: "خدای دې خوشحاله لره",
|
||||
f: "khUdaay de khosháala lará",
|
||||
e: "May God have you happy",
|
||||
},
|
||||
]}
|
||||
</Examples>
|
||||
|
||||
There are a couple of questions that can confuse learners when they encounter these types of phrases:
|
||||
|
||||
1. What does the <De /> particle refer to? Is it a <MiniPronoun /> or a jussive marker?
|
||||
2. Why do some verbs end with <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ـي", f: "ee" }} />, and some with <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ـه", f: "a" }} /> ?
|
||||
|
||||
**TLDR answer:**
|
||||
|
||||
- *Basic form*: Jussive phrases are made using the jussive <De /> particle with subjunctive or present verbs.
|
||||
- Verbs end in <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ـي", f: "ee" }} /> (like the first example above)
|
||||
- *Exception*: when there's a conflict with another 2nd pers mini pronoun like <De />, we leave out the jussive <De /> marker and instead use the 2nd person imperative form.
|
||||
- Verbs end in <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ـه", f: "a" }} /> (like the second example above)
