हिंदी - विजय / اردو - وجے

[vijayjohn]

I decided to start a personal thread in this forum just like I've been doing for various other languages I've been learning. I've started using threads like this to list vocabulary words I can quiz myself on, so I guess I'll start out by doing that here, too. (I know I've made some mistakes (in Urdu IIRC), which I should probably note here, but I'm too lazy to hunt them all down right now ).

All of the following are words from an issue of a Pakistani literary magazine called Jasoosi Digest that I happen to have with me:

dandruff = سکری
itching = خارش
handful = یکمشت
perfect = مکمل
refuge = مکمّل
thick = گھنا
protector, guard, etc. = محافظ
confusion, vexation = برهمي
visible = قابلِ دید
accomplished (person?) = باکمال

[Saim]

میں ان الفاظوں سے صرف "خارش" اور "مکمل" جانتا تھا۔ لگتا ہے کہ مجھے اتنی صحیح اردو تو نہیں آتی۔

تمہیں جسوسی ڈائجسٹ کہاں سے ملا؟ کتابوں کی دکان میں؟

[eskandar]

ان الفاظوں سے

ان الفاظ سے. "الفاظ" تو خود ہی جمع ہے "لفظ" کا*

[vijayjohn]

These are some of the first few new words (to me) that were listed in the Urdu Study Group thread:

disgrace, insult - ذِلّت
to put off, evade, send away, reject a request - ٹالنا
friend - آشنا
guard, watchman - پاسبان
at last - بارے
prostration (I've seen two pronunciations so far for this one) - سجده
