The Pashto definite article

The definite article is what we call the word 'the' in English. The English definite article 'the' does not exist in Pashto. Unlike English, a noun on its own can be considered definite without the need for a specific word to show this.

Step 4 : The definite article in Pashto

The definite article is what we call the word the in English. The definite article is used with nouns in English (the book, the chair, the door etc.). Using the nouns kitāb, čowkē and war (book, chair, door) which you learned in Step 3, learn how to use each noun with the definite article. This is easy in Pashto, because in Pashto, there is no definite article. So the word kitāb can mean book or the book, the word čowkē can mean chair or the chair and the word war can mean door or the door. You can scroll to the top of this page to see a short lesson about the definite article in Pashto including useful examples. Once you have learned to use the definite article with the Pashto nouns kitāb, čowkē and war, you're ready to move on to Step 5 (the plural in Pashto).
