हिंदी - विजय / اردو - وجے

Postby vijayjohn » 2018-02-05, 6:02

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 :P).

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

:cry: 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؟

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

Some more of the vocab that's new to me from that thread:

چکّان - thick, clotted, coagulated; blot, scar
عَبَث - in vain
ننگ - shame, disgrace
آستانہ - threshold
سنگِ آستاں - doorstep stone
غمّازی - backbiting, slander
نزلہ - catarrh
نزلہ گرنا - of a trouble to befall, (of rage) be vented (on), face bad luck
یکّا - single, solitary
گُمان - idea, thought, conjecture (I think I sort of remember this one)
اِحتساب - accounting for, accountability
محکمہ - department, bureau, section
صنعت - industry (I always find this word confusing because I want to think it means 'art')
زِراعت - agriculture (this sounds familiar from Mastering Arabic, actually)
باہمی - shared, reciprocal, mutual
مشاورت - consultation
مشورہ - advice
