@ -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 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)
