Words in Urdu - need meaning in English

[lafz_puchnevala]

I see. My focus in learning here is for conversation purposes and informal writing so as you have done above, do mention it if the words being discussed are too formal or literary/poetic in nature.

Btw, excellent translation done above!

Thanks!

[lafz_puchnevala]

Urdu to English:

1. shaareaam

This is the way it is written in Nagari but I suspect the real form is shaar - e - aam. Can anyone confirm this?

Thanks!

[lafz_puchnevala]

Urdu to English:

1. shaaz
2. naayaab
3. naadir

All three words seem to have meanings related to rare/precious. Can anyone highlight the differences between the words?

Thanks!

It's SAR-E-AAM which means openly, overtly in English I.e in front of everyone(all & sundry)

All have same meanings except that they like most of the words asked by you they too are bookish / formal nature.

However some slight differences could be :

Saaz is actually SHAAZ & is mostly used in a combination with Nadir I.e. wuh shaz-o-nadir hi wahan jata tha I.e he visited there rarely

2- Nayab is different in the sense that it's mostly used for something that is rare but might not be always precious value wise.

3-Naadir could be both rare as well as precious

P.s you would be much better off using the word 'qeemti ' instead when you're talking about the preciousness of something as it is easy to understand & popular as well

Hi,

Can you read Nagari?

Eg. शार-ए-आम पर गोली मार देने की रज़ा दी जाए. वक़्त पे जो ना मिला उस मुकाम के लिए, चलने वाले को उसकी पूरी क़ज़ा दी जाए

It says 'shaar e aam par golii maar dene kii dii jaae. waqt pe jo naa milaa us mukaam ke liye chalne vaale ko uskii puurii qazaa jaaye.

It has been written as 'shaar' rather than 'sar' here. Is this the same word?

Also Urdu to English from above:

1. mukaam
2.qazaa

Thanks!

PS: Unfortunately I can't read Urdu

[TAK]

ah

in this case it is sharayaam which means road/highway not sarayaam which means openly

maqaam means place

[lafz_puchnevala]

Thanks!

[lafz_puchnevala]

Urdu to English:

1. shiiraanaa

Thanks!

Must be shairana which means poetic !

& yes you can use jagah for maqaam.

the literal meaning of the word mukaam is place, but here according to the context mukaam means 'status'
and qazaa means 'an overdue Namaz (Muslim prayer)'

[lafz_puchnevala]

Urdu to English:

1. qahat - famine?
Eg. is mulk mein do saalon ke pehle se, qahat ho raha hai. This is supposed to mean 'From 2 years ago, there is a famine happening in this country.'

2. shohrat - fame? To be translated using 'shohrat': 'Fame will surely come to righteous people.'

3. shohrat ki chamak - limelight?

Do correct my grammer for the sample sentence as well.

Thanks!

[lafz_puchnevala]

I see... I romanised the word as per the way it was written in Hindi.

[TAK]

urdu: pichlay/guzashta do saal saal say is mulk mein qaht ho rahee hai

english: there has been famine in this county for the past 2 years

[lafz_puchnevala]

Please highlight the difference between 'guahusta' asked in a previous entry 'GUZISHTA : previous' and 'guzhashta' used here.

Thanks!

[Raza_Haider_Mohammad]

need the meanings of following urdu words in English:

ziyaarat
tauheed
tadbeer
fizaa

[Raza_Haider_Mohammad]

urdu to english:

mohazzab......."mohazzab" alfaaz
khurrez....."khurrez" jang
tamheed
mugallizaad......"mugallizaad" baqnaa

[Looney]

Mohazzab = appropriate
Ziyarat = to visit / to go on a pilgrimage
Fiza - atmosphere


If you do not mind me asking , where are you getting these words from ? A lot of them are not used in modern Urdu so you will look and sound weird speaking them .

[lafz_puchnevala]

Originally Posted by lafz_puchnevala Also, 4. shutur 5. shuture bemuhaar Thanks!

In addition,

1. satar
2. adaa(karna)

For the first one, does it mean line/row? If so, in what contexts is it normally used in everyday speaking...

For the second one do extend the explanation to 'adaa karna' as well. Again, a common usage will be appreciated.

Thanks!

[lafz_puchnevala]

Hi,

I found the words below from the first few posts of this thread and had some doubts about them. Also, I tried my hand in making sentences with them. Kindly correct the mistakes in them.

tasdeeq - certify/verify ( Eg. ab tasdeeq karo ki woh hamaare daftar mein kaam karta hai! Verify now that he works in our office!

israar - insistance Eg. is baat par tumhare israar ki vajah mujhe pata nahi hai. I don't know the reason for your insistence in this matter.

tabka - group. Would it be more like rank/class?

reject - thukrana Eg. ve mere khyaalon ko hamesha thukrate hain. They always reject my ideas.

unity or to unite - ittehaad, mutahid karna Eg. mulk mein peshraft hone ke lie sabhi logon ko ittehad/mutahid karna hai. For the country to progress, all the people must/have to unite.

shawaahid - plural of shaahid ( witness ) , it means witnesses. Can it also mean evidence?

muntakhib - selected/elected Eg. yeh sadr logon se muntakhib hua hai. This leader has been elected by the people.

taqarrur - appointed Eg. yeh sadr hakumat se taqarrur hua hai. This leader has been appointed by the government.

Thanks!

Kindly correct the mistakes in them. tasdeeq - certify/verify ( Eg. ab tasdeeq karo ki woh hamaare daftar mein kaam karta hai! Verify now that he works in our office! abhi(foran) tasdeeq karo keh wuh hamaray duftar main kaam karta hay israar - insistance Eg. is baat par tumhare israar ki vajah mujhe pata nahi hai. I don't know the reason for your insistence in this matter. bulls eye tabka - group. Would it be more like rank/class? yes tabqa is group/ a certain class of people but is mostly used in socio-ecnomic terms reject - thukrana Eg. wuh mere khyaalon ko hamesha thukrate hain. They always reject my ideas. wuh mere khayalaat (khyaloon is taken more as random thoughts, khyalat is taken as "ideas" ) ko humesha thukratay hain unity or to unite - ittehaad, mutahid karna Eg. mulk mein peshraft hone ke lie sabhi logon ko ittehad/mutahid karna hai. For the country to progress, all the people must/have to unite. mulk mai taraqi honay k liyay, sab logoon ko mutahid karna hay(ittahad is wrong as it's a noun, not a verb, and actually means "unity" ) shawaahid - plural of shaahid ( witness ) , it means witnesses. Can it also mean evidence? yes shawahid only means evidences (not witness), shahadat is it's singular not shahid *which actually means witness) you're better off using saboot for evidence & gawah for witness, shahid & shawahid are too confusing muntakhib - selected/elected Eg. yeh sadr logon se muntakhib hua hai. This leader has been elected by the people. bingo however you can also say .."yeh sadar logoon nay muntakhib kiya hay" ..also, leader is rehnuma, quaid...sadar means president only taqarrur - appointed Eg. yeh sadr hakumat se taqarrur hua hai. This leader has been appointed by the government. Is rehnuma ka taqarrur hakoomat ne kiya hay

In addition,

3. sarf

Thanks!

PS: Do drop a line if you guys are unsure of the words because I am not sure if that is the reason for the lack of responses recently

[TAK]

consuming/spending

e.g. sarfeen are consumers


sarvar سرور

i think this is used cheifly in religous terms to describe god , it means leader/master

e.g. sarvar-e-qainaat is master of the universe

[lafz_puchnevala]

Originally Posted by TAK sarf صرف consuming/spending e.g. sarfeen are consumers sarvar سرور i think this is used cheifly in religous terms to describe god , it means leader/master e.g. sarvar-e-qainaat is master of the universe

So, 'sarf' is equivalent 'kharch' or 'istemaal/upayog' ie 'expenses' or 'use'?

And 'sarf karna' is synonymous to 'khariidnaa' or 'istemaal karna' in the appropriate contexts?

Also, give a simple example usage for 'sarf hona'.

Thanks!

Ok, I will try my hand at some examples...

1. bacpan mein zaruuri se zyada sarf karna acchi aadat nahin hai. Spending more than necessary in childhood is not a good habit.

2. yeh meri aashaa hai ki in vaakyon mein is lafz ka sarf sahi hai/maine sahi tarah se is lafz ko sarf kiya hai.
It is my hope that I have used this word in a correct manner in these sentences.

Do point out my mistakes in the above usages.

Thanks!

An Arabic word/Name meaning a Patient person, someone who deals well with difficult times and hardship.

Yeah, comes from "Sabr" ('patience') which is used in Arabic as well as Urdu.

[lafz_puchnevala]

Originally Posted by Shaddy An Arabic word/Name meaning a Patient person, someone who deals well with difficult times and hardship.

Then I presume it is a noun rather than an adjective. It would be 'woh ek saabir hai' rather than 'woh ek saabir shakhs hai'.
Am I right?

Thanks!

[lafz_puchnevala]

Urdu to English:

1. saalim

I have come across meanings like

2.Perfect; Is aalam mein saalim shakhs naheen hota hai. There is no perfect person person in this world.

3.Safe, Sound,' for this. bacchon ko saalim tarah se aa jaanaa paRda hai. The children have to come and go safely.

Do comment on which of the usages are wrong.
Which of the meanings is most commonly used in everyday contexts?

In addition to top I heard another one today

Also what do the following words mean:

Qurbat

Gurbat

maazi -> used in a lot of different contexts...

[Awesome_Username]

Originally Posted by Cricketismylife In addition to top I heard another one today Haalaat -E Haazra wats Haazra? ---- Also what do the following words mean: Qurbat Gurbat maazi -> used in a lot of different contexts...

Haalat-e-haazra = Current Affairs

Haazra is related to Haazir, which means being present or being in attendance.

Qurbat = Closeness

Gurbat = Poverty

Maazi = Past

The words, as you'd imagine, could be used for related terms when used in different contexts.

i doubt you will find a direct english word for chaaba, (p.s. in jhelum we call it a changair)

the traditional material used to make a chaaba/changair is known as wicker in english

so you could perhaps call it a wicker plate


liver is the english for kaleja/kaleji

unfortunate or perhaps ill fated for badnaseeb

Originally Posted by 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

1) because of the persistent rain we were unable to go

2) his wife has fled the marital home

3) his/her heart was in his/her mouth
(although kaleja is liver it is not appropriate here, this expression conveys exactly the same meaning as the urdu expression)
