## With questions
[Determiners](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determiner) are words that we can put in front of nous to express which nouns we are talking about. In Pashto we can use these words like these as determiners:
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "کوم", f: "koom", e: "which / some" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هر", f: "har", e: "every / each" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ټول", f: "Tol", e: "all / the whole" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هیڅ", f: "heets", e: "no / none" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "بل", f: "bul", e: "other" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "داسې", f: "dáase", e: "such, like this" }} />
- <InlinePs
opts={opts}
ps={{ p: "دغسې", f: "daghase", e: "just such, just like this" }}
/>
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هسې", f: "háse", e: "such, like that" }} />
- <InlinePs
opts={opts}
ps={{ p: "هغسې", f: "haghase", e: "just such, just like that" }}
/>
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دا", f: "daa", e: "this / these" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دغه", f: "dágha", e: "this / these" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه", f: "hágha", e: "that / those" }} />
Notice that there is no definate article "the" in Pashto.
In this chapter we'll look at a bunch of examples of how these determiners are used. The bottom three are special words we'll call <Link to="/nouns/demonstratives/">demonstratives</Link>, and we'll look at those in the <Link to="/nouns/demonstratives/">next chapter</Link>.

## Every (هر - har)
We use the word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هر", f: "har", e: "every / each" }} /> when we want to talk about every one of some noun.
<Examples opts={opts}>
{[
{
p: "هر ماشوم دلته راشي",
f: "har maashóom dálta ráashee",
e: "Every child should come here",
},
{
p: "دلته هر کتاب مفت دی",
f: "dálta har kitáab mUft day",
e: "Every book here is free",
},
{
p: "زما هر ملګری وفادار دی",
f: "zmaa har malgúray wafaadáar day",
e: "Every one of my friends is faithful",
},
]}
</Examples>
This word also inflects just like any other <Link to="/inflection/inflection-patterns/#1-basic">pattern #1 word</Link>.
<div className="mb-4">
<InflectionsTable
inf={{
masc: [
[{ p: "هر", f: "har" }],
[{ p: "هر", f: "har" }],
[{ p: "هرو", f: "haro" }],
],
fem: [
[{ p: "هره", f: "hára" }],
[{ p: "هرې", f: "háre" }],
[{ p: "هرو", f: "háro" }],
],
}}
textOptions={opts}
/>
</div>
<Examples opts={opts}>
{[
{
p: "هره ماشومه دلته راشي",
f: "hára maashóoma dálta ráashee",
e: "Every (female) child should come here",
sub: "Fem. sing. plain",
},
{
p: "هغه هرې ښځې ته دا خبره کوي",
f: "haghá háre xúdze ta daa khabura kawee",
e: "She says that to every woman",
sub: "Fem. sing. inflected - sandwich",
},
{
p: "هرې ښځې ته تکلیف لیدلی دی",
f: "háre xúdze takléef leedúlay day",
e: "Every woman has seen difficulty",
sub: "Fem. sing. inflected - subj. of past tense trans.",
},
{
p: "دا ستونزه په هرو خلکو کې شته",
f: "daa stóonza pu háro khálko ke shta",
e: "That problem exists in every people.",
sub: "Double inflection - 'people' is plural and in a sandwich",
},
]}
</Examples>
Notice that this word is usually used with singular nouns, but it can be used with plural group nouns like <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "خلک", f: "khalk", e: "people" }} /> if we want to talk about _each_ group, each of which is plural.
## All / the whole (ټول)
We use the determiner word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "ټول", f: "Tol" }} /> to talk about all or the whole of something. This also inflects just like any other <Link to="/inflection/inflection-patterns/#1-basic">pattern #1 word</Link>.
<div className="mb-4">

f: "daa shi'r Tólo malgúro ta Daalúy wee",
e: "May this poem be dedicated to all friends",
sub: "Double inflected - plural and sandwich",
},
]}
</Examples>
## No / none (هیڅ)
We use the word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هیڅ", f: "heets" }} /> or <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هېڅ", f: "hets" }} /> with **negative phrases** to say "no / none" of something. It's kind of like an emphasizing double negative.
<Examples opts={opts}>
{[
{
p: "دلته هیڅ روغتون نشته",
f: "dálta heets roghtóon núshta",
e: "There's no hosptial here",
},
{
p: "زه هیڅ تعلیم نه لرم",
f: "zu heets ta'léem nu larúm",
e: "I don't have any education",
},
{
p: "له دغه سړي نه هیځ خیر نه راځي",
f: "la dághu saRée na heets khayr nu raadzee",
e: "No good comes from that man",
},
{
p: "هیڅ خبره نشته",
f: "heets khabúra nishta",
e: "It's nothing, no problem",
},
]}
</Examples>
The word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هیڅ", f: "heets" }} /> does _not_ inflect.
## Other / another (بل)
We use the determiner word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "بل", f: "bul" }} /> to talk about the 'other' or 'another' something or someone. This word does inflect.
<div className="mb-4">
<InflectionsTable
inf={{
masc: [
[{ p: "بل", f: "bul" }],
[{ p: "بل", f: "bul" }],
[{ p: "بلو", f: "búlo" }],
],
fem: [
[{ p: "بله", f: "búla" }],
[{ p: "بلې", f: "búle" }],
[{ p: "بلو", f: "búlo" }],
],
}}
textOptions={opts}
/>
</div>
<Examples opts={opts}>
{[
{
p: "ستا بل کور چېرته دی؟",
f: "staa bul kor cherta day?",
e: "Where's your other house",
},
{
p: "بلې ښځې سره خبرې کوي",
f: "búle xúdze sara khabúre kawee",
e: "She's talking with another woman",
},
{
p: "بلې خوا ته ورشه",
f: "bule khwaa ta wársha",
e: "Go to the other side",
},
{
p: "بلې ښځې زه ولیدلم",
f: "búle xudze ze óoleedulum",
e: "The other woman saw me",
},
]}
</Examples>
## Like this / like that (داسې, دغسې, هسې, هغسې)
The words <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "داسې", f: "daase" }} /> and <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هسې", f: "hase" }} /> can be used to mean "such" or "like this" and "like that," respectively.
<Examples opts={opts}>
{[
{
p: "زه داسې کتاب غواړم",
f: "zu dáase kitáab ghwáaRum",
e: "I want a book like that",
},
{
p: "زه داسې خلکو سره خبرې نه کوم",
f: "zu daase khalko sara khabúre nu kawum",
e: "I don't talk with such people",
},
{
p: "هسې سړی نه دی",
f: "hase saRay nu day",
e: "He's not that kind of guy",
},
]}
</Examples>
**Note**: the word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هسې", f: "háse" }} /> is also very, very often used as an adverb meaning "just," "for no reason," or "in vain."
For an extra degree of emphasis or specificity you can use the words <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دغسې", f: "daghase", e: "just like this" }} /> or <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغسې", f: "hagháse", e: "just like that" }} />
<Examples opts={opts}>
{[
{
p: "زه دغسې کتاب غواړم",
f: "zu daghase kitáab ghwáaRum",
e: "I want a book just like that",
},
{
p: "هغسې ماشومه وه",
f: "haghase maashóoma wa",
e: "She was a child just like that",
},
]}
</Examples>
## Mixing and matching determiners
Many of these determiners can be used together, and in different orders.
<Examples opts={opts}>
{[
{
p: "زه به دا شی کوم داسې ملګري ته ورکړم",
f: "zu ba daa shay koom daase malgúray ta wárkRum",
e: "I will give this thing to some such friend",
},
{
p: "ما هیڅ داسې کوم شی نه دی لیکلی",
f: "maa heets dáase koom shay nu day leekúlay",
e: "I didn't write any such thing like that",
},
]}
</Examples>
## Other notes
Usually these determiners go _before_ the quantifiers of a noun, but some of these determiners like <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "داسې", f: "dáase" }} />, and <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دغسې", f: "dagháse" }} /> can go before or after the quantifier.
Also note a lot of these can also function as adverbs, which function _differently_ than determiners.

Demonstratives are words like "this, that, these, those" that are used **to point to or specify nouns**. In Pashto we use the words for demonstratives:
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دا", f: "daa", e: "this / these" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دغه", f: "dágha", e: "this / these" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه", f: "hágha", e: "that / those" }} />
And these words also inflect in some interesting ways. TLDR; See the <Link to="/pronouns/demonstratives/#overview--tables">tables at the bottom</Link>.
## The general دا - daa
The word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دا", f: "daa", e: "this / these" }} /> is probably the most common demonstrative in Pashto. It's also fairly general, for pointing to people or things close by or at a medium distance. ("Distance" here can refer to the distance in conversation, not just physical distance.)
The other nice thing about this useful pointer word is that **it is the same for masculine or feminine, singular or plural**!

### Inflecting دا - daa to دې - de
In all these examples above, masculine and feminine, singular or plural, we always use <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دا", f: "daa" }} />. But what happens when we need to <Link to="/inflection/inflection-intro/">inflect</Link> a word because it's <Link to="/sandwiches/sandwiches/">in a sandwich</Link> or because it's <Link to="/verbs/past-verbs/#past-tense-with-transitive-verbs-">the subject of a past tense transitive verb</Link>? In that case it becomes <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دې", f: "de" }} />.
Remember, <Link to="/inflection/inflection-intro/">normally</Link> we would inflect a word when it's plural, but not with <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دا", f: "daa" }} />! **we only inflect this word for _two_ reasons**:
- being in a sandwich
- being the subject of a past tense transitive verb
Here are some examples of the demonstrative <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دا", f: "daa" }} /> being inflected because it's used for the subject of a past tense transitive verb.

Notice how the nouns change depending on whether they're singular or plural. When they nouns are a subject of a past tense transitive verb _and_ plural, they use the double inflection. But there is no difference no difference in <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دې", f: "de", e: "this / these" }} /> between singular and plural.
And here are some examples of <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دا", f: "daa" }} /> being inflected because it's in a sandwich.

Again, there's no difference in the <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دې", f: "de", e: "this / these" }} /> between singular and plural.
But things get a little more complicated when we want to get a bit more specific with our demonstratives and use <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه", f: "hágha", e: "that / those" }} /> and <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دغه", f: "dágha", e: "this / these" }} />.
## More specific دغه - dágha / هغه - hágha
When we want to be more specific with our pointing we can use the other two demonstratives:
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دغه", f: "dágha", e: "this / these" }} /> (closer)
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه", f: "hágha", e: "that / those" }} /> (further)
Notice that that this second one is different than the 3rd pers. sing pronoun!
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه", f: "hágha", e: "that / those" }} /> (demonstrative)
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه", f: "haghá", e: "he / she it" }} /> (pronoun)
In their plain forms, these do not change from masculine to feminine.

**But**, here's where things get more complicated... If they are inflected because of those other two reasons:
- being in a sandwich
- being the subject of a past tense transitive verb
Then the full craziness of inflections are unleashed 👇

## Demonstratives without the noun
In Pashto, demonstratives can also be used _without saying the noun_ they are pointing to. So you can use the words <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دا", f: "daa", e: "this / these" }} />, <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "دغه", f: "dágha", e: "this / these" }} />, <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "هغه", f: "hágha", e: "that / those" }} /> without saying the noun that they are referring to.
