Discussion Of The Week

Hi.

This is the new discussion of the week, made by me. 😆😳

We all know how to speak urdu, but how many here can actually write it and read it?

The last time I had Urdu as a course was in Pakistan. But I can read it, write it and speak it. 😳

Discussion Questions:

1) Can you read Urdu?

2) Can you write it?

3) Last time you actually had Urdu as a course?

4) Did you forget it?

5) Do you think we have to know how to read it and write it, if we already know how to speak it?

6) Any other comments?

i think u are right.. we should have some kind of lesson or something that can help people who don't know how to read or write. bczz there are lots of people who can speak but not write or read urdr. well even me sometimes have hard time to write something..

heyaaaa
gd discussion....i actully dont speak urdu at home considering im from mirpuri backgrounds....but as a child when i would go to mosques on saturday they would teach us urdu...plus ma moms family is mainly pathan and we cnt speak pushto so mom made sure we spoke urdu with them...i went 2 pak skool for a year when i woz 12 years of age...and i had learnt to read and write it quite fluently but whn i came bck to the uk..i 4gt it pretty much...then i took it up as my language gcse and i got a A* wohooo... then in collage i had decided to take it up on the side for a levals so itd increase my points but i gt kicked of the course cz apperntly we where a waste of space 😆 and ive 4gten it once again....speak it well though...mind u at tymes i strt speaking it mix with phari...all urdu speaking people find that really ammusin 😳
and i do think all pakistanis should knw how to speak urdu..coz its a very very sweet languge ..but some1 also said 2 me urdu is arabics worst enemy..if u can speak urdu/phari/hindi...you will have difficulties speaking arbic(quran version) fluently..
i think its up to the individual wheta or nor they want to learn urdu...its a language that would do as good while where in pakistan but sadly if put down on ure CV in english countries it nt given as much regards as if u spoke spanish french or german..

As for me i can read,write and talk in urdu cause urdu is my mother tounge.I think Pakistani people should know how to read urdu or even speak urdu as it's our national language. 😊 😊 by the way it's a good topic to discuss.

1) Can you read Urdu?

Yes!

Yes! although it takes me sooo long to figure out how to spell some words...😳

Never! lol..I learned to read and write it by myself mostly, and when I needed help my grandpa helped me..😉

4) Did you forget it?
..haha nope..I watch urdu t.v. shows daily, listen to urdu music, read urdu poetry..I don't think I could ever forget it..😆

5) Do you think we have to know how to read it and write it, if we already know how to speak it?
Yesss, of course! The 'mazaa' of reading urdu poetry IN urdu is totally different from reading it in roman script! Plus, when the words are written in urdu you can figure out how to pronounce all the words properly..😳

6) Any other comments?
Urdu is the best language ever..after Punjabi, of course!😉
