Well over a decade since Friends ended with its final tenth season, to this day the American sitcom is constantly bringing in streams of fans, old and new.
A Friends reunion has been long anticipated, and finally, it’s here – and emotions are running high on social media.
But have you wondered how would it sound if the American sitcom came out in Pashto? We re-imagined some of the iconic dialogues from Friends if they were to be in Pashto.
The quirks of Phoebe Buffay, the awesome fusion of sensitive and strong in form of Rachel Green, the annoying yet funny squeals of Monica Geller, the wit of Chandler, the kissable hopeless face of Ross Geller, and oh my such dripping adorable dumbness of Joey Tribbiani; I would be more than happy to see them all saying everything in Pashto.
First off, Imagine what would happen if our favorite Friends characters were born in Pashtun households?
They will be called Chandler Barakzai, Joey Afridi, Ross Khan, Monica Yousafzai, Rachel Khattak, and Phoebe Wazir. What do you think? I know. It’s just crazy enough to work.
Following listed are some of the most heartwarming and funny dialogue exchanges from the series — translated into Pashto — that’ll drown you in nostalgia and make you watch the episodes right away.
1. The one in which Monica welcomed Rachel to the real world:
Season 1, Episode 1: The One Where Monica Gets a Roommate
Monica: [to Rachel] Welcome to the real world. It sucks. You’re gonna love it.
2. The one with Ross’s speech on garbage
Season 4 Episode 6: The One with the Dirty Girl
Joey: Her place was really that bad?
Ross: You know how you throw your jacket on a chair at the end of the day? Well, like that — only, instead of a chair, it’s a pile of garbage. And instead of a jacket, it’s a pile of garbage. And instead of the end of the day, it’s the end of time and garbage is all that has survived!
03. The one with the deadly wedding

Season 10 Episode 9: The One With the Birth Mother
Phoebe: What? You know about the plate thing?
Rachel: Oh, yeah. Joey doesn’t share food. I mean, just last week we were having breakfast and he had a couple of grapes on his plate and …

So yeah, I am off to F.R.I.E.N.D.S now.
Kbye!
