Ahh I didn’t realize tht issue yes. The subs thing can be a deal breaker at times. Curious, are you from India? If so, which state if you don’t mind me asking. As someone whose first language is not urdu I do struggle on rare occasions but I’m able to understand based on context clues. I personally grew up in Kanpur in UP. So, it was mostly all hindi I knew but being a Muslim family I knew some urdu. Pakistani urdu is a little different though.
am from the south. 😊 I can understand standard movie / drama type hindi but even that sometimes I struggle with if there are regional dialects. so yea, urdu serials is difficult because they are so dialogue driven (hindi serial you can just guess even if you don't understand because they zoom on to everyone's face for reaction 😂 ). there are also many words in urdu I am not familiar with. so yea, I generally pick the dramas to watch on youtube based on whether there are subs and if it looks interesting.
