Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
In this lesson we’ll learn the phrases that will help you take matters into your own hands! We will look at the word "please," which will be very important when you need to ask for something.
BODY
In Urdu, “Please” is Bara he meharbani. Let's break it down by syllable.
(slow) Bara he meharbani.
Now let's hear it one more time.
Bara he meharbani.
The easiest way to use "please" is to point at something while saying Bara he meharbani, but let's try to expand on this a bit, shall we? Let's start with the expression "This, please," which in Urdu is Bara he meharbani Yeh. It literally means “Please, this.” In English, "this" comes before "please." In Urdu, the order is reversed. So we have Bara he meharbani Yeh.
First, we have “please,” or in Urdu, Bara he meharbani.
Then we have Yeh meaning “this”
(slow) Yeh
Yeh
Using this phrase, “This, please” or literally “Please, this” in Urdu is...
(slow) Bara he meharbani Yeh
Bara he meharbani Yeh
The pronoun “this” or Yeh can be replaced by Woh, which means “that.” Let’s hear this again.
(slow) Woh
Woh
Using this phrase, “That, please” or literally “Please, that” in Urdu is..
(slow) Bara he meharbani Woh
Bara he meharbani Woh
If you’ve forgotten or don't know the name of the object you're asking for, it's okay to point at it and say “This, please,” Bara he meharbani Yeh, or “That, please,” Bara he meharbani Woh.
You can say Bara he meharbani meaning “please” and then if you know the name of the object, you can say the name of the object.
For example, if you need a piece of bread, you can literally say “Please, one bread” or in Urdu Bara he meharbani Aik roti.
(slow) Bara he meharbani Aik roti.
Bara he meharbani Aik roti.
First we have Bara he meharbani, meaning “Please.”
Next we have Aik meaning “one.”
(slow) Aik
Aik
Then, we have “bread” which is roti in Urdu.
(slow) roti
roti
