Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION

In this lesson we’ll look at a very useful phrase meaning "I don't understand." It’s useful because there may be situations in which you don't immediately understand what people are saying.

BODY

In Urdu, “I don’t understand” is Mujhay samajh nahi aii. Let's break it down by syllable.

(slow) Mujhay samajh nahi aii

Now let's hear it one more time.

Mujhay samajh nahi aii

First we have the word Mujhay, which means “I” in this context.

(slow) Mujhay

Mujhay

Next, we have samajh, which means “understand.”

(slow) samajh

samajh

Next we have nahi aii, which means “do not”

(slow) nahi aii

nahi aii

Therefore “I don’t understand” in Urdu is..

(slow) Mujhay samajh nahi aii

Mujhay samajh nahi aii

To make your sentence polite, you can add “I’m sorry” at the beginning of the sentence, which is Mazrat in Urdu.

So the whole phrase will be "I'm sorry, I don't understand." In Urdu, this is

Mazrat, Mujhay samajh nahi aii.

When you don't understand something, you can also be more proactive and say "What does it mean?" This phrase in Urdu is Iss ka kia matlab hai? Let's break it down by syllable.

(slow) Iss ka kia matlab hai?

Once again..

Iss ka kia matlab hai?

The first word, Iss ka, means "this"

(slow) Iss ka

Iss ka

The second word is kia, meaning "what."

(slow) kia

kia

Lastly, we have matlab hai, meaning “meaning”

(slow) matlab hai

matlab hai

All together, once again “What does it mean?” is..

Iss ka kia matlab hai?
