Pashto-English/English-Pashto Dictionary & Phrasebook (Hippocrene Dictionary & Phrasebooks)

This is a quick and ready phrase book to get one by in Pashto. It has about a hundred page dictionary which covers many common words. There are brief chapters on etiquette, introductions ( to people ), the airport, and others. The book measures 3.75 X 7 X 0.75 inches making it easy to put into a pocket or a purse. Not a book for the formal learning of Pashto, that could only be done in a class room. Overall I am well pleased with this book and will soon be using it as a Pashto guest is about to arrive!

This is a good start as a translation and phrase book. I don't agree with all the transliterations they have in Pashto but don't worry - Pashtoons aren't shy about correcting you when it comes to their language. For my taste it has far too much "tourist" type phrases - when that country is far from a tourist area. All in all, it's a good book to have around for a quick word or a quick phrase.

My daughter asked for a Pashto - English dictionary for her birthday. I went to school to study Pashto while serving in the military and have taught my kids basic phrases. She refuses to learn a second language other than Pashto now. This is the same dictionary I used a decade ago. Still great quality. She loves it.

This turned out great! Nice and easy to read & got is super quick - within 24 hours! Looks to be great for basics!

The dictionary includes the most commonly used words, which is fine and helpful. What it does not include, however, is the Pashto word in actual Pashto script. The English word is included, as well as the phonetic version of the Pashto equivalent but no Pashto word written as a Pashto speaker would write it. For those of us trying to learn not only to speak Pashto but to write the langauage as well, this is a major deficiency of the dictionary.

This is the only phonetic pashto to english book that I was able to find. It is easy to use and has alot of great terms, but is definitely lacking as it seems geared more towards english speakers traveling in pashto-speaking places. I needed it to help talk to pashto-speaking refugees who are here in the U.S. needing assistance, so there are alot of words and phrases that just arent found in the book. Oh well!

This dictionary is not appropriate for Pashto speakers. The Pashto section has been Anglicized to reflect in the Roman alphabet and not Pashto characters. Probably a great dictionary if you’re English-speaking trying to learn Pashto.

When shopping for a Pushtu dictionary/introduction, I was specifically looking for a reference that includes the Pakistani dialect of Pushtu, rather than just the Afghani dialect often found in other books. I’m happy to report that this dictionary includes the distinctions between the Pakistani and Afghani dialects within the definitions in which they differ. 5 stars

単語は全てローマ字表記です。アラビア文字が使われいないので、パシュト語だけ話し、かつパシュト語のローマ字表記を知らないネイティブ相手の場合は使いずらいです。多言語を使用できる先生相手ならば、活用しやすいのかもしれませんが…。

Libro utile peccato non ci sia una uns traduzione Pashto Italiano

Very easy to read and learn from, thank you

a nice clear book with good guidance as to conversational structure which should help to build a comprehendable dialogue when needed.

This book provides basic tool for those who cannot read Pashto script as the Pashto words are written in English which do not provide actual Pashto script and exact pronunciation. It is good enough for initial/basic learners.
