Usage notes

English “Afghan” as an attributive adjective usually corresponds in Latvian to afgāņu, the genitive plural form of afgānis (or, more exactly, puštunu, the genitive plural form of puštuns “Pashtun,” “ethnic Afghan,” since, like English Afghan itself, afgānis can in principle refer to a member of any ethnic group from Afghanistan). The adjective afgānisks is commonly used as a predicate (“this is Afghan”), or in its adverbial form afgāniski.
