Family Words in Pashto: People Around You

Family is the first circle of language most learners need. Here are the core Pashto words for people, from a man and woman to in-laws.

Family words are among the first a learner needs. A man is سړی and a woman is ښځه. A boy is هلک, a girl is جینئ, and a child is ماشوم. Siblings have their own words: a brother is ورور and a sister is خور.

Relationships through marriage have separate terms. A father-in-law is سخر, a mother-in-law is خواښې, and a son-in-law is زوم. These words open the door to greetings, introductions, and questions about someone’s household.
