| ہیلو، میں انچارج شخص سے بات کرنا چاہتی ہوں. |
| (Hello, mei incharge shakhs say baat kerna chahti hun.) |
| ضرور، براہ کرم ایک منٹ انتظار کریں۔ |
| (Zarur, barahe karam aik minat intezar karein.) |
| Once more with the English translation. |

| (Hello, mei incharge shakhs say baat kerna chahti hun.) |
| “Hello, I'd like to speak with the person in charge.” |

| “Okay, just a moment.” |
| First of all, you'll need to learn how to say "hello" on the phone. |
| That's: |
| ہیلو, ہیلو |
| (hello, hello) |
| Then you need to learn how to say "I'd like to speak with [person]." |
| The pattern is: |
| میں [person] سے بات کرنا چاہتی ہوں. |
| (Mei [person] say baat kerna chahti hun.) |
| This Urdu sentence literally translates as “I [person] with to speak like would.” |
| But it means “I'd like to speak with [person]." |
| For example, |
| "Hello, I'd like to speak with the person in charge." |
| ہیلو، میں انچارج شخص سے بات کرنا چاہتی ہوں., ہیلو، میں انچارج شخص سے بات کرنا چاہتی ہوں. |
| (Hello, mei incharge shakhs say baat kerna chahti hun., Hello, mei incharge shakhs say baat kerna chahti hun.) |
| Now, how do you answer this question? |
| ضرور، براہ کرم ایک منٹ انتظار کریں۔ |
| (Zarur, barahe karam aik minat intezar karein.) |
| “Okay, just a moment.” |
| Listen to it again. |
| ضرور، براہ کرم ایک منٹ انتظار کریں۔, ضرور، براہ کرم ایک منٹ انتظار کریں۔ |
| (Zarur, barahe karam aik minat intezar karein., Zarur, barahe karam aik minat intezar karein.) |
| This Urdu sentence translates as "Ok, please one moment." |
| But it means "Okay, just a moment." |
