The purpose of this research is to guide and help students and language learners with word structure and meaning awareness in Pashto. Words, learning, understanding, and efficiency have significant relationships and complement each other. Phonological research aids in the awareness of morphological structures and helps us understand the phonological variations that occur in the word formation process. Affixes play a very significant role in the production and articulation of words. The study and understanding of affixation help students in the word formation process in every language. Affixation is important and helpful for literature and linguistic students to distinguish and understand how new words are formed and what they mean. Affixes guide language beginners and speakers to consider words and their meanings structurally. Learning and understanding words help learners develop strong grammar, listening, writing, reading, and speaking skills. The specific purpose of this study is to understand the primary and secondary affixes and their characteristics in the word formation process of Pashto. In the formation of words in the Pashto language, prefixes always function as primary affixes, while suffixes are systematically and orderly enclosed by primary and secondary affixes.
