[Looney]

When writing in Roman Urdu , people may use different spellings for the same word . For example : saabun , or soap ends with a NOON . Then , there is the noon ghunna sound , written the same way as a noon but without the DOT or nuqta . The noon ghunna is used for words like haiN , kharamaaN , where the noon is silent but you still produce that nasal voice , if you know what i mean . So to emphasize on the difference , I , capitalize the N where you say noon ghunna

The Aa'een or Ghaa'een : i put the apostrophe inbetween because you are saying that one letter but that one letter has a tiny pause inbetween ( where the apostrophe is ) . So , basically , you say AA first then EEN or GHAA first and then add EEN in one single breath .

tashdeed rules are easier when one explains the difference by saying it rather than writing it out .

Allow me to also add that , this is PROPER tashdeed . You learn it best when you get an Urdu Qaida or a Noorani Qaida ( used for learning Arabic )

In normal , everyday lingo of Pakistan , people are very careless when it comes to getting their tashdeed right . Forget tashdeed , most people cannot get the sheen-qaaf right . But to this day , if you speak with proper tashdeed , you will sound more posh and classy .


Hope i made sense to you .

baqaa - permanency or long life
aamaadaa - persuade ? ( i am not sure )

if you meant kaNwal - it means a kind of flower but if you meant qawaal then it means a person who sings qawaali
faut.....woh "faut" ho gaye - death or demise of someone ; another word for it is intaqaal
tabqa - strata : A level of society composed of people with similar social, cultural, or economic status.

What does Jolaha mean? its a profession i think

Yes, I believe it is. Julaha/Ansari caste, I think they are considered as belonging to a "low" type of profession by societal perceptions, like they are considered to be weavers by ancestry. Anyways, that's what social biases are like.

For instance, you hear aunties say: "Aray, uss ki shaadi toh kisi julahay se ho gaee hai" *and then they go like this: *


And then I go like this:

Hi guys,

No new words for today. Hope someone can help me out on yesterday's ones

Just want some clarifications for today.

1. If zaahir honaa means to appear, does zaahir means appearance? ie. Can i say 'Party mein uske zaahir ke sabab, mujhe khushii thii.' Due to his appearance in the party I was happy.

2. Since zaahiraa means obviously can I take zaahir to mean 'clear' ie. Can I say 'yeh bahut zaahir hai ki Ram aur Ali sabse acche dost hain.' It is very clear that Ram and Ali are best friends.

3. In some Urdu words I have seen the word '...-e-...' Eg aryaam-e-gardish which means time cycle actually. What does the -e- refer to grammatically? Is it like the kaa/kii/ke we use in Hindi/Urdu as in Shehar ke log (the city's people)?

Thks for the clarifications!

1, It could work in that context, but more than 'appearing' zaahir also means 'realisation', so you can say, 'mujhe zaahir ho gaya .....', as in 'i realised....', but the sentence you wrotes could translate to "despite his realisation in the party, i was happy".

2. Yes, buts its two words, zaahir hai, meaning "i realised / it appeared / its obvious that ram and ali are best firends"

3. the 'e' is like a possesive with the first relating directly to the latter word. like haalat -e- haazra, conditions of the present. in your example, the cities people would be 'log -e- shehr'.

1. The exact for 'appearance' is "Zahoor". In this sense you can say "Unnke/usske zahoor ke sabab hummei´n khushi hui". But "Unnke/usske aaney se" or "Unnke/usske zaahir honay se hummei´n khushi hui" would also be fine.

2. Yes. But another concrete word would be "Waazye´h". In this sense you can say "Ye´h baat waazye´h hai ke Ram aur Ali sabse achche dost hai´n".

I am not too sure here about 'realisation'...... Anyway, anyone can be wrong since I am not an expert at it by any means.

As far as I know, 'I realized it later on' is to be translated as "Hummei´n baad mei´n ehsaas hua".

Good day!

More Urdu words - Meanings needed

tabaahkun (तबाह्कुन)
tasbbur (तसब्बुर)

Thanks!

[DHONI183]

Means 'destructive'. "Usski kaar-kar-daggi taba´hkun thi" ('his performance was destructive').

[lafz_puchnevala]

Yesterday's word was supposed to be tasawwur(तसव्वुर) not tasbbur (तसब्बुर). My apologies for the misinformation...

Today's words are

taya (तय)
tahreer (तहरीर)

I think taya has something to do with deciding about something. Please correct me here.

Thanks!

[DHONI183]

Originally Posted by lafz_puchnevala Yesterday's word was supposed to be tasawwur(तसव्वुर) not tasbbur (तसब्बुर). My apologies for the misinformation...

'To imagine something' or 'to capture something in your imagination to supposedly think about it'. "Tasawwur karei´n ke aap bohat ameer hai´n!" ('(just) imagine that you are very rich!').

Originally Posted by lafz_puchnevala tahreer (तहरीर)

'A writing' or a 'written thing'. "William Shakespear ki tehreeraat se ye´h saabit hota hai ke wo´h bohat qaabil tthey" ('William Shakespear´S writings prove that he was very skilled').

Originally Posted by lafz_puchnevala taya (तय) I think taya has something to do with deciding about something. Please correct me here. Thanks!

"Taya" actually is used for paternal uncle older than your father ("Chaacha" for younger).

But the way you have explained, I can only think of "Tey´h" like in "Muaamla´h tey´h karna" which can (roughly) be put as 'deciding'.

Another way to translate:

"Ye´h baat tou tey´h hai ke hum ye´h jagga´h nahi chorrey´ngey" ('It is given that I won´t leave this place').

I hope I am right.

[lafz_puchnevala]

Thks for the reply. Learnt 1 more word along the way

qaabil - skill

Only one word today

taaq (ताक़)

[cynical]

taaq means in sight of

[Winsome]

I need English of some tough Urdu sentences.

1. Barish hotay hotay reh gayi
2. Uski bv ghar se bhag gayi hai
3. Uska kaleja munh ko aa gya

[lafz_puchnevala]

Hi,

Can someone confirm the meaning for taaq given above? Some other sources are saying odd number and expert as meanings for this word also. I suspect that there may be a confusion between 'taaq' and 'taak', at least looking at the way it is written in Hindi...

And @DHONI183, what is the meaning of 'mand' in 'hunar mand'. Can i say 'vah kahaaniyaan likhne mein hunar mand hai' to mean He is skilled in writing stories. And what about 'kahaaniyaan likhnaa uskaa khaas hunar hai' to mean Writing stories is his special skill.

Thks!

Just discovered from my brother that it has both the meanings. Though written differently, the pronunciation remains the same.

1. 'Odd; uneven number'.

2. 'In sight of'.

"Mannd" is not a word in itself. Can only be used alongside other words in ending like "Warr" in "Taaqatwarr" ('Powerful') or "Daar" in "Izzat´daar" (used for a well respected person. "Izzat" means 'respect').

A bit like "Shaali" in "Shaktishaali" ('Powerful') in Hindi.

And yes, your sentences are 98% correct. Just one correction has been made in bold.

'Relation'. "Iss shakks ka humse koi taaluq nahi hai!" ('This man/person is not related to me!') or "Iss cheez ka unnse kya taaluq hai?" ('How is this thing related to him?').

Literally speaking, one can at most put as 'Possessor of'.

"Hunar-mannd" - 'Possessor of skills) (i.e. 'Skilled)'.

"Akkal-mannd" - 'Possessor of wisdom' (i.e. 'Wise' or 'Intelligent').

1. "Taaseer" (literally may mean 'Effectiveness') comes from "assar" which means 'Effect'. In some phrases it also means 'Influence':

"Unnki baato´n ka unnpe bohat assar hua" ('His words had a big influence on/upon him').

2. "Tijaarat" means 'Business' (also translated as "Kaarobaar").

"Aayi´ye chaltey hai tijaarati khabro´n ki jaanib" ('Let us move towards business news').

Hi,

@DHONI183, what is the meaning of 'jaanib' when you used that word to explain tijaarat?

It looks like assar is used more often than taaseer. Can I say 'aisaa karne kaa taaseer mustaqbil mein zaahir hoga' which means The effectiveness of doing it like this will be clear in the future.

Bilkul drust farmaya aapne. Humse ghalati ho gayyi..... Lahaaza......

"Tijaraarat" - 'Trade'.

Originally Posted by lafz_puchnevala Hi, @DHONI183, what is the meaning of 'jaanib' when you used that word to explain tijaarat?

'Towards' or 'From'.

I have already given an example concerning 'Towards' (post #92), now carefully read this:

"Unnki jaanib se eik peighaam aaya hai" ('A message has been received from him/his side').

Another word quite often used for this is "Taraff".

I am not too sure about all this. I hope someone can help us out.

Yes, I have hardly seen "Taaseer" being used. Thus a sentence formed to sound more aproppriate would be "Aisa karne ka assar mustaqbil mein zaahir hoga".

Hi,

I was just browsing through previous posts when I came across this line which is supposed to be a joke: Barqi Qamqama bara-e-tabdeel-e-rukh. I think you are asking what the object is

So, new words here...

Barqi
Qamqama
bara
tabdeel

Anyone can enlighten me?

Thanks!
