@ -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)
