| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: In this conversation, our speakers were trying to arrange a trip to the cinema. |
| Hamza: Yes, they both have things to do though, so they’re negotiating a little. |
| Becky: Is going to the cinema popular in Pakistan? |
| Hamza: Yes, it is. Lollywood has had a revival in the past few years. |
| Becky: A revival? Did it lose popularity? |
| Hamza: About five years ago it was almost dead. |
| Becky: Wow! How did it come back from the dead? |
| Hamza: Thankfully, some quality movies were made by local directors. |
| Becky: Good movies will always do well! I’m glad Lollywood was able to produce some again. |
| Hamza: Me too. This is a bit of a boom period for Lollywood, as many actors and directors from India are also getting involved in Pakistani productions. |
| Becky: Do you have any recommendations from this boom period? |

Lesson focus |
|---|
| Becky: In this lesson, you'll learn about using verbs when discussing with friends to set up a meeting time and place. First, we need to identify what the plan is. Maybe we want to watch a movie or meet somewhere. |
| Hamza: We can use the verb دیکهنا , meaning “to see” or “to watch.” |
| Becky: Can you tell us the different forms of that verb? |
| Hamza: Sure. If you’re watching something masculine, use دیکهنا . For something feminine, use دیکهنی . |
| Becky: And the plural form? |
| Hamza: That is دیکهنے . |
| Becky: What about “to meet?” |
| Hamza: “To meet” in both masculine and feminine is ملنے . If you want to use it to mean “to find”, then you should use ملنا for masculine, and ملنی for feminine. |
| Becky: Okay. Let’s hear some example sentences. |
| Hamza: میں اپنی بہن سے ملنے گیا |
| Becky: “I went to meet my sister.” |
| Hamza: مجهے ایک پرانی گاڑی ملی |
| Becky: “I found an old car.” So, in those two sentences you first hear “to meet” and then “to find.” After deciding what to do, we need a time. This can be general, such as “morning” or “afternoon.” |
| Hamza: For example, you can use صبح for “morning” and دوپہر for “afternoon.” |
| Becky: There is a list of these words in the lesson notes, but for now let’s hear some sentences. |
| Hamza: میں کل شام فارغ ہوں. |
| Becky: “I am free tomorrow evening.” |
| Hamza: میں پرسوں فلم دیکھنے جا رہا ہوں. |
| Becky: “I am going to watch a movie the day after tomorrow.” So, we have some verbs and some times, now we need to ask people to come with us. Hamza, can you give us an example of how to do this? |
| Hamza: Sure! دیکھنے جانا چاہتی ہو؟ |
| Becky: “Want to go watch?” |
| Hamza: This sentence has a verb, and then “want to.” کیا آپ کرکٹ کھیلنا چاہتے ہیں؟ |
| Becky: “Do you want to play cricket?” |
| Hamza: کیا تم خریداری کے لئے جانا چاہتی ہو؟ |
| Becky: “Do you want to go shopping?” |
Outro |
| Becky: Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time! Bye! |
| Hamza: پهر ملیں گے! (Phir milenge!) |
