| In Urdu, "What will the weather be tomorrow?" is Kal mausam kaisa hoga? (SLOW)Kal mausam kaisa hoga? Let's break it down by syllable: Ka-l mau-sa-m kai-sa ho-ga? Now let's hear it once again: Kal mausam kaisa hoga? The first word kal means "tomorrow." ka-l, kal. Next is mausam, which in English is "weather." Let us hear it one more time: mau-sa-m, mausam. Next is kaisa, which in English is "how." Let's hear this word one more time: Kai-sa, kaisa Next, we have hoga, which in English is "will be." (SLOW)hoga, hoga. All together, we have Kal mausam kaisa hoga? Literally, this means, "How will the weather be tomorrow?" We translate it as, "What will the weather be tomorrow?" |
| Let's go over the possible answers. In Urdu, "It will rain" is Barish hogi. Let's break it down by syllable: (SLOW) Ba-ri-sh ho-gi. Now let's hear it one more time: Barish hogi. |
| "It will snow" is Barf paregi. (SLOW) Barf paregi. Ba-rf pa-re-gi. |
| "It will be sunny" is Dhoop hogi. (SLOW)Dhoop hogi. Let's break it down by syllable: Dho-op ho-gi.. Now let's hear it once again: Dhoop hogi. The first word dhoop means "sunny." It's a feminine adjective so we have hogi, which in English is "will be." Let's hear it one more time: hogi. All together, we have dhoop hogi, which literally means, "There will be sun," and we translate it as, "It will be sunny." |
| "It will be stormy" is Tufani hoga. (SLOW) Tufani hoga. Let's break it down by syllable: tu-fa-ni ho-ga. Now let's hear it once again: Tufani hoga. The first word tufani means "stormy." It’s an adjective and is masculine so we use hoga. |
| In case you're somewhere where the weather can change very quickly, you can ask, "What will the weather be today?" Aaj mausam kaisa hoga? (SLOW)Aaj mausam kaisa hoga? Let's break it down by syllable: Aa-j mau-sam kai-sa hoga? Now let's hear it once again: aaj mausam kaisa hoga? As you can see, we have the same pattern of the phrase we have previously seen. Mausam kaisa hoga literally means, "weather how will be?" Then we have aaj ("today") in place of kal ("tomorrow"). Let's break this word down and hear it one more time. Aa-j. Aaj. Lastly we have hoga which means “will be.” All together, we have aaj mausam kaisa hoga? This means, "What will the weather be today?" |
