Whatever kind of word you're using, it will always inflect for the <Link to="/inflection/inflection-intro/">three reasons</Link> that we mentioned earlier. However, there are two big exceptions.

### Pattern 1 words in sandwiches starting with په - pu
When you put a <Link to="/inflection/inflection-patterns/#1-basic">pattern 1 - basic</Link> word in a the <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "په ... کې", f: "pu ... ke", e: "in" }} /> sandwich, **it will not use the first inflection**.
When you put a <Link to="/inflection/inflection-patterns/#1-basic">pattern 1 - basic</Link> word in a sandwich starting with <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "په ...", f: "pu ..." }} /> sandwich, the first inflection is optional. Some people will use it, some will not.
For example, let's put the word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "کوټه", f: "koTa", e: "room" }} /> inside the sandwich <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "په ... کې", f: "pu ... ke", e: "in" }} />. It doesn't inflect!
For example:

Other sandwiches starting with <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "په", f: "pu" }} /> like <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "په ... باندې", f: "pu ... baande" }} /> are a bit flexible with these pattern 1 words. Sometimes people will inflect them and sometimes they won't.

For example, if we put the the singular word <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "پښټون", f: "puxtoon" }} /> in a sandwich, _usually_ people will not inflect it.

### Pattern 4 masculine animate unusual nouns
There are a few words that don't perfectly fit the "Pashtoon" pattern. For example:
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "مېلمه", f: "melmá", e: "guest" }} />
- <InlinePs opts={opts} ps={{ p: "کوربه", f: "korbá", e: "host" }} />
When masculine, these words will only use the first inflection for plurals. They will not use the first inflection for sandwiches or for subjects of transitive past tense words. For example:
<Examples opts={opts}>
{psmd([
{
p: "مېلمانه ناست دي",
f: "melmaanú naast dee",
e: "The guests are sitting",
sub: "masc. inflected for plural"
