| INTRODUCTION |
| In this lesson we’ll learn the phrases that will help you take matters into your own hands! We will look at the word "please," which will be very important when you need to ask for something. |
| BODY |
| In Urdu, “Please” is Bara he meharbani. Let's break it down by syllable. |
| (slow) Bara he meharbani. |
| Now let's hear it one more time. |
| Bara he meharbani. |
| The easiest way to use "please" is to point at something while saying Bara he meharbani, but let's try to expand on this a bit, shall we? Let's start with the expression "This, please," which in Urdu is Bara he meharbani Yeh. It literally means “Please, this.” In English, "this" comes before "please." In Urdu, the order is reversed. So we have Bara he meharbani Yeh. |
| First, we have “please,” or in Urdu, Bara he meharbani. |
| Then we have Yeh meaning “this” |
| (slow) Yeh |
| Yeh |
| Using this phrase, “This, please” or literally “Please, this” in Urdu is... |
| (slow) Bara he meharbani Yeh |
| Bara he meharbani Yeh |
| The pronoun “this” or Yeh can be replaced by Woh, which means “that.” Let’s hear this again. |
| (slow) Woh |
| Woh |
| Using this phrase, “That, please” or literally “Please, that” in Urdu is.. |
| (slow) Bara he meharbani Woh |
| Bara he meharbani Woh |
| If you’ve forgotten or don't know the name of the object you're asking for, it's okay to point at it and say “This, please,” Bara he meharbani Yeh, or “That, please,” Bara he meharbani Woh. |
| You can say Bara he meharbani meaning “please” and then if you know the name of the object, you can say the name of the object. |
| For example, if you need a piece of bread, you can literally say “Please, one bread” or in Urdu Bara he meharbani Aik roti. |
| (slow) Bara he meharbani Aik roti. |
| Bara he meharbani Aik roti. |
| First we have Bara he meharbani, meaning “Please.” |
| Next we have Aik meaning “one.” |
| (slow) Aik |
| Aik |
| Then, we have “bread” which is roti in Urdu. |
| (slow) roti |
| roti |
