Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Whatever your reason for traveling to Pakistan, you won't leave the country without having met people. Therefore it's necessary to learn how to introduce yourself and how to respond to people introducing themselves. So let's jump right in.
BODY
Let’s say your name is Alan. To introduce yourself in Urdu, you can say..
Mera nam Alan hai.which means “My name is Alan.”
(slow) Mera nam Allan hai.
Mera nam Alan hai.
The first word, Mera, means "my." Then we have nam, which means “name.” Then we have your name. In this sentence we used Alan, but you can also put your name here instead. Then we have the word hai, equivalent to “is” in English. Altogether, we have Mera nam Alan hai, which means "My name is Alan." When using this form of introduction, you should only say your first name because it will sound too formal if you use both your first and last names.
After that let’s learn "It’s nice to meet you" for formal situations. In Urdu, you can say Ap se mil ker acha laga.
(slow) Ap se mil ker acha laga.
Ap se mil ker acha laga.
First, we have Ap which means "you”
(slow) Ap
Ap
Then we have se mil ker which means “to meet you”
(slow) se mil ker
se mil ker
Lastly we have acha laga meaning “it’s nice”.
To make your sentence sound polite you can add sahib, meaning "sir," or madam, meaning “ma’am,” at the end of the sentence.
Ap se mil ker acha laga sahib.
“It’s nice to meet you, sir.”
Ap se mil ker acha laga madaam.
“It’s nice to meet you, ma’am.”
In both formal and informal cases, you can say Ap se mil ker acha laga to mean “It's nice to meet you."
(slow) Ap se mil ker acha laga.
Ap se mil ker acha laga.
