lol, your not totally alone... theres bare people who dont know them

I myself only know them to like 20 :oops: soo im worse off than you.

I just insist on people speaking in english and they blow it off me being silly or awkward... lol relies never take me seriously... which has its certain advantages.

I think it was LilSis who said she can barely speak a few words of Urdu...

So you are not alone...

its easier in arabic!

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.

Arent the jewish scriptures written in arabic?? Or a derivation of arabic?

Seraphim โ€” Fri, 4 Nov 2005 - 23:01

[quote="Admin"]they are hebrew, are they not?[/quote]

which is a derivation of arabic isnt it?

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

30- tees
40- chaalees
50- pachaas
60- saat
70- sattar
80- assi
90- navey

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.

flower โ€” Sat, 5 Nov 2005 - 00:50

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

Sirus โ€” Sat, 5 Nov 2005 - 01:07

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?

flower โ€” Sat, 5 Nov 2005 - 01:31

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

Same as in English for the Gregorian calendar.

Same as in Arabic for the Islamic calendar.

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 ๐Ÿ˜ƒ )

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!)

star โ€” Sat, 5 Nov 2005 - 17:36

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.

Salma โ€” Sat, 5 Nov 2005 - 19:38

not really sure what i speak

its that messed up lol

i think its a bit of everything ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

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 ๐Ÿ˜ƒ
