Abstract

There are numerous connected elements between languages from the same languages-family. Verbs are one of the components that both Dari and Pashto languages share in common. Both languages belong to the Indo-European family and are much more closely linked to one another. A verb that shows state and action in both languages comes at the end of sentences and has similarities and equivalences in both languages which this article explores. In these two languages, this article focuses on, a verb indicates state and action and appears at the end of the sentences, as well as parallels and equivalencies between the two languages. The article’s findings demonstrate the abundance of similarities and likenesses that are covered in depth. Verbs are utilized according to person and number in both languages and according to gender in Pashto. The verb aggregation in Dari persists, while the verb in the present tense is eliminated in Pashto due to verb conformance. Furthermore, the quantity of verbs in both languages varies based on subjective suffixes; verbs for roots in Dari are separated into two portions, but in Pashto, they are separated into three groups.
