Urdu is Pakistan's first official language. Its speakers, Hindi and Lingua Franca (the common language of the Hindustan subcontinent: India, Pakistan and Bangladesh) understand each other. Urdu comes from Sanskrit, the Indo-Aryan language and borrowed much of its words and culture from Arabic and Persian.

Estimated number of speakers: native speakers: 240 million (1991-1997) [1] Second language: 165 million (1999) [2] Total: 490 million (2006) [3] (source: http: // en. wikipedia.org/wiki/Hindustani_language)

Steps

  1. 1 It is necessary to understand the word structure of sentences in Urdu: SUBJECT, SUPPLEMENT, FABULOUS (in English such a construction is SUBJECT, VERB, SUPPLEMENT).So in English it says: "Jones [subject] sees [predicate] Thomas [object]", in Urdu it will look like this: “Jones [subject] Thomas [object] sees [predicate]”.
  2. 2 Learn basic singular pronouns in Urdu.
    • Me / I: "meinei"; "Mai"; "Merae"
    • You: "tum"; "Tumkhae"; "Tumharae"; "Tumnae"; "Tumsae"
    • He / she / it / that: "in"; "Sleepy"; "Uspee";
  3. 3 Learn basic plural pronouns in Urdu. Each of the pronouns above has a plural equivalent, which is used when the pronoun refers to more than one object, as well as when the pronoun refers to someone you respect, or he is in a higher position, or simply from courtesy, or to address someone in a formal manner:
    • We are: "hum"; Humarae; "Khumsae"; "Khumsab";
    • You: "aap"; Aapsabh; "Aapsabhee";
    • They / those: "in"; "Unhee"; "Inhee"; "Unko";
  4. 4 Learn to use the Urdu verb "to be". To be has the following conjugations:
    • To be: "hona" (indefinite time)
    • I am: mein "hun"
    • You are: tum "ho"
    • He / she / it / that is: in "hai"
    • The exception, “mein hun” means “I am” because “mein” means “I” and this is a subject, “hun” means “is” is a predicate, and in Urdu the structure of a sentence is as follows: a subject, an object (in this case absent), predicate.
    • We are: hum "hain"
    • You are: aap "hain"
    • They / they are: in "hain"
    • As in English, in the plural, all pronouns are used with verbs in the same conjugation.
  5. 5 Remember that all verbs in the indefinite form end in "na", for example "hona" - "to be" and "dekhna" - "to see." For regular verbs such as dekhna (but not hona), there is a simple rule for conjugating them in the present tense. You need to remove the "on" and add another ending instead. It should be noted that in all three cases, underlined syllables are used only if the subject in the sentence is masculine (eg "John"). If the subject is feminine (eg "Jane"), then these syllables are replaced with "and".
    • I ("mein"): ta
    • You ("tum"): "tu> e / y>"
    • He / she / it ("in"): "tu> a / y>"
    • We ("hum"): "tain"
    • You ("aap"): "tain"
    • They ("in"): "tain"
    • Thus, as an example, the verb dekhna (to see) will be changed for I (I am masculine) as dekhta or for you (if you are feminine) as dekhti.
  6. 6 Remember that the verb "to be" ("hona") is the most important because it is used to form the present tense. Thus, when we say “I see” in English, in Urdu it will correspond to the translation “I am seeing” - or, in the correct order, “I see is”. So, in Urdu, saying “I see” is like saying “I am and I see”. If you didn’t say that you “are,” while you said that you see, the verb to see will not be in the present tense. Thus:
    • "I" [feminine] "see": "mein dekhti hun"
    • "It sees": "vo dekhta hai"
    • Remind yourself that mein is I, hun is I (conjugated, respectively, I), and dekhti is the verb to see (dekhna) to conjugate the corresponding I female.
  7. 7 Remember that when pronouns are used as complements, they are slightly modified to indicate that the action was taken on them, not them. When nouns act as complements, "ko" is added to them to indicate this change, for example "John" is appropriate for the subject, and "ko" is the object.
    • I ("mein"): "mujhe"
    • You ("tum"): "tumkhe"
    • He / she ("in"): "usse"
    • We ("hum"): "humkhe"
    • You ("aap"): "aapko"
    • Them ("in"): "unhe"
  8. 8 Remember how the supplement sentence is built. If we want to say "I see John" in Urdu, we say something like "I see John there" - "I am," [present] "and I see John."
    • "I see John": "mein john ko dekhta hun"
    • "Jane sees John": "jane john ko dekhti hai"
    • Let's break it down: "Jane [subject] John ko [addition] dekhti [sees, feminine] hai [present tense is]]"
    • "I see you": "mein tumkhe dekhta hun"
    • "You" [feminine] "see us": "tum humkhe dekhti ho"
    • "They see Jane": "vo jane ko dekhtain hain"
