its day one, day 2, day 3, day 4, day 5, Jumu'ah, Day 7
incidentally 7 is sabt. very similar to sabbath, the jewish day of rest.

I knw one or the other is derived from the other as they were pretty much comonly used in around the same area.

Worst thing is when little old ladies ask you what the price of something is.
I used to say for 59p, 5 and 9.
But now I just round up or down to the nearest number I know.
I know all my numbers to 100! and then the 1000s etc...i learnt em when i was younger, mum taught me, its kinda like a poem coz they are all in a rythm and once u get the hang of its really easy!
as for the days instead of hafta and atwaar my mum lot say waar and taar! i think maybe its a mirpuri thing
interesting
do MP's have diffrent names for days? what about numbers? what about every word in the book? cant understand a thing!
the thread says 'urdu/punjabi' numbers.........is there a diffrence?
not dissin MP's btw.........outt interest, am i the only non-mirpuri pakistani/kashmiri here?

i think we mirpuris take a bit of of urdu and a bit of punjabi ( i mean lahori punjabi), twist it a little bit (add some masala as well) and then come up with our own version. Although we speak mirpuri, the written language is still urdu i think.....its just another dialect or a slang version of punjabi
and yes i think u are the only non mirpuri or kashmiri here....so watch what u say :evil: lol
:shock: :shock:
....theyre takin over......

i only know 30 numbers
they are hard
whats the urdu months?
Same as in English for the Gregorian calendar.
Same as in Arabic for the Islamic calendar.
only they add the extra umph to it
i.e December is pronounced as Du-cem-burr
Got to agree wiv you there, i thought it was just my family that spoke like that lol, me asian mates use to [b]get drunk[/b] of the way i use to speak in college coz they spoke really posh urdu (well i think it was
)

Hey Naz i no wat u mean, but we should be proud of wat we have inherited (even if it is a slightly messed up language system!)
i dont think urdu is posh at all....i know its sounds more polite than punjabi and u know like MP'ns
like we say AAP and u ppl say TU or tusan...sounds disrespectful especially to elders.
but i'd rather know punjabi coz its weird being the only ones being urdu speakers in de whole generation, actually it sounds kiddie fyde to me, when u get 4/5 year olds speaking fluent punjabi.
yes i think u r dear
we iz all loud n proud: Pakistani Mirpuri's
not really sure what i speak
its that messed up lol
i think its a bit of everything
thats why i try to avoid any long complicated conversations with aunties/uncles/cousins etc
especially wiv ma mates, who all speak fantastic urdu/punjabi, kind of embarassing when urs is gibberish compared to them :oops:
no the basics like yes and no, but anything more advanced gets a bit complicated
mirpuri is beautiful languange
but the most beautiful lang i heard is suraiqi.... man thats amazing.. so poetic
