Pashto has a very special way of shortening <Link to="/phrase-structure/vp">VP</Link>s. In a language like English if we want to say "I saw her," we can only say, "I saw her." But in Pashto there are many ways to shorten and to say this.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<Examples opts={opts}>{[
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{ p: "ما هغه ولیده", f: "maa haghá óoleeda", e: "I saw her", sub: "full form" },
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{ p: "ما ولیده", f: "maa óoleeda", e: "I saw her", sub: "short form #1" },
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{ p: "هغه مې ولیده", f: "haghá me óoleeda", e: "I saw her", sub: "short form #2" },
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{ p: "ومې لیده", f: "óo-me leeda", e: "I saw her", sub: "short form #3" },
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
]}</Examples>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So what is going on here? 🧐 This is another behaviour of Pashto that can seem very illogical or confusing to the learner. Thankfully though, there's a very clear rule about how these phrases are shortened up. **It's weird, but very simple**.

## How to Shorten VPs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the previous chapter on <Link to="/phrase-structure/vp">VP structure</Link> we learned that there are two main actors in VPs
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. The <strong>King</strong> <KingIcon /> is an <Link to="/phrase-structure/np">NP</Link> that controls the verb
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. The <strong>Servant</strong> <ServantIcon /> is another <Link to="/phrase-structure/np">NP</Link>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The king and servant swap roles between the subject and object, depending on what kind of verb we're using.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- with intransitive verbs 🛴
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the **subject** is the king <KingIcon />
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- (there is no servant)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- with non-past transitive verbs 🚲
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the **subject** is the king <KingIcon />
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the **object** is the servant <ServantIcon />
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- with past-tense transitive verbs 🚲🤪
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the **subject** is the servant <ServantIcon />
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- the **object** is the king <KingIcon />
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Or if you want to see it in our little review chart...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div className="text-center mb-3">
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<img className="img-fluid" src={VPStructureSummary} alt={"VP structure in Pashto with past tense"} />
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
So, now that we've reviewed the roles of **king** <KingIcon /> and **servant** <ServantIcon /> all we need to know is one simple rule.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<div style={{ fontSize: "larger" }}>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<blockquote>To shorten a VP, you can <strong>Kill the King</strong> <KingIcon /> and <strong>Shrink the Servant</strong> <ServantIcon /></blockquote>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
</div>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a litle memory aid to help us remember the two things that we can do to any VP phrase.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. We can "kill the king" (leave out the king)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. We can "shrink the servant" (replace the servant with a <Link to="/pronouns/pronouns-mini/">mini-pronoun</Link>)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Example with a non-past transitive verb
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Now we can look at some examples to see how this works. Let's take a very simple sentence:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<EditableVPEx opts={opts}>{
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
{"blocks":[{"key":0.13415526513680676,"block":{"type":"subjectSelection","selection":{"type":"NP","selection":{"type":"pronoun","person":0,"distance":"far"}}}},{"key":0.2455033196459333,"block":{"type":"objectSelection","selection":{"type":"NP","selection":{"type":"pronoun","person":2,"distance":"far"}}}}],"verb":{"type":"verb","verb":{"entry":{"ts":1527812275,"i":11608,"p":"لیدل","f":"leedul","g":"leedul","e":"to see","c":"v. trans./gramm. trans.","psp":"وین","psf":"ween","tppp":"لید","tppf":"leed","ec":"see,sees,seeing,saw,seen"}},"verbTense":"presentVerb","perfectTense":"presentPerfect","imperativeTense":"imperfectiveImperative","tenseCategory":"basic","transitivity":"transitive","isCompound":false,"voice":"active","negative":false,"canChangeTransitivity":true,"canChangeVoice":true,"canChangeStatDyn":false},"form":{"removeKing":false,"shrinkServant":false}}
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
}</EditableVPEx>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This is a <Link to="/vp/#2-with-non-past-transitive-verbs-">present-tense transitive</Link> phrase. See if you can figure out what the king <KingIcon /> and servant <ServantIcon /> are in this sentence, then click on the <i className="fas fa-cubes" /> to see what they are.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Got it? So now we know we can **kill the king**. Since the king controls the verb, we can just leave it out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<EditableVPEx formChoice opts={opts}>{

}</EditableVPEx>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The other thing we can do is we can **shrink the servant** 🪄 and turn it into a <Link to="/pronouns/pronouns-mini/">mini-pronoun</Link>. The servant here is <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "تا", f: "taa", e: "you - 2nd. pers. sing." }} /> so it will get shrunk into the 2nd pers. sing. <Link to="/pronouns/pronouns-mini/">mini-pronoun</Link>, <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دې", f: "de" }} />. Because it's a little mini-pronoun 👶 it has to go in the <Link to="/phrase-structure/kids-section/">kids' section</Link>. (After the first block)

Now if we want to make our sentence *really* short we can **kill the king** *and* **shrink the servant**.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<EditableVPEx formChoice opts={opts}>{

|
|
|
}</EditableVPEx>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It's very important to remember to play by the rules. You can **kill the king** and **shrink the servant** but you cannot kill the servant or shrink the king! 🙅♂ (That's another mistake that Pashto learners make a lot!)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
### Example with a past-tense transitive verb
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Let's try another example with a <Link to="/phrase-structure/vp/#3-with-past-tense-transitive-verbs-">past-tense transitive verb</Link>. Now the roles of **king** <KingIcon /> and **servant** <ServantIcon /> will switch! But we still follow the same rules (kill the king, shrink the servant).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Here's the same phrase but using a continuous past verb. Take a second and identify the king and the servant in the phrase below, and then check by clicking on the <i className="fas fa-cubes" />.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<EditableVPEx formChoice opts={opts}>{

|
|
|

Let's go ahead and **kill the king**, which in this case is the *subject*.

Looks quite different, but we're still following the same rule. Now let's **shrink the servant**. 🪄 This time the servant is the *object* <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ما", f: "maa", e: "I - 1st pers. sing." }} /> so it will get shrunk into the 1nd pers. sing. <Link to="/pronouns/pronouns-mini/">mini-pronoun</Link>, <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "مې", f: "me" }} /> and go in the <Link to="/phrase-structure/kids-section/">kids' section</Link>.

Notice how our shortened sentences look completely different from the present-tense version above, but they follow the exact same two rules for shortening with the king and servant. This all feels like mental gymnastics to the learner, but Pashtuns will very casually use all these different forms of shortening depending on what they want to emphasize or the flow of conversation.

The **king** <KingIcon /> of this sentence is the *subject* <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "زه", f: "zu", e: "I" }} />. So we can **kill the king** and leave that out.
|
|
|

Notice that we cannot **shrink the servant** because there is no servant in a VP with an intransitive verb. The learner is often tempted to shrink the king into a mini-pronoun, but that is *not allowed!* 🙅♂️

Try shortening these other examples. Notice how the <Link to="/pronouns/pronouns-mini/">mini-pronoun</Link> will always go in the <Link to="/phrase-structure/kids-section/">kids' section</Link> (after the first block), and the <Link to="/phrase-structure/kids-section/">kids' section</Link> changes depending on what's in the phrase. If we start the phrase with an <Link to="/phrase-structure/ap">AP</Link> the mini pronoun will fall right after that first AP. Try shrinking this sentence all the way (click on "both") and see what happens.

Or if a phrase is using a <Link to="/verbs/verb-aspect/">perfective verb</Link>, then the <Link to="/verbs/roots-and-stems/#about-the-split-in-the-perfective-side">front part of the verb can split off</Link> into a seperate block. This puts the kids' section in an interesting place... see what happens when you hit "both" for this phrase.
