Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
This lesson is not only for all of the vegetarians out there, but also for anyone with an aversion to a particular food! There are many reasons a person won't or can’t eat a particular food and there may be instances when communicating this is necessary. In this lesson, we'll go over some phrases to make sure you don't get any unwanted surprises on your plate.
BODY
In Urdu, "I am a vegetarian" is Mei sabzi khor hu.
(slow) Mei sabzi khor hu.
Mei sabzi khor hu.
The first word Mei, means, "I." Next, we have sabzi khor which means "a vegetarian." The word sabzi khor can be used for both men and women. The last word is hu meaning “am”. Let’s hear the sentence once again.
(slow) Mei sabzi khor hu.
Mei sabzi khor hu.
Another way you can communicate that you don't eat a particular food is by saying just that!
In Urdu, "I don't eat meat" is Mei gosht nahi khata.
(slow) Mei gosht nahi khata.
Mei gosht nahi khata.
If you are a woman, the sentence would become Mei gosht nahi khati. Just replace khata with khati.
(slow) Mei gosht nahi khati.
Mei gosht nahi khati.
The first word, Mei, means "I." Then we have gosht, meaning, "meat". Then finally we have nahi khata, meaning, "don’t eat." So the sentence in full is Mei gosht nahi khata.
We can use this sentence for other kinds of food simply by swapping out just one word! Replace gosht with the word for any other food that you don’t eat. For example, to say "I don't eat cheese" you can say Mei paneer nahi khata using the word paneer for “cheese.” “I don’t eat cheese.”
(slow) Mei paneer nahi khata
Mei paneer nahi khata
If you are a woman, you can just change sakta with sakti. Let’s hear this example for a woman.
Mei paneer nahi khati.
(slow) Mei paneer nahi khati.
Mei paneer nahi khati.
If you want to make sure your food doesn't have an ingredient you can't or don't want to eat, you should simply ask about it. For example, if you want to make sure a meal doesn't have meat, you should ask "Is there meat in this dish?" In Urdu, this is
Iss khanay mei kia gosht hai?
(slow) Iss khanay mei kia gosht hai?
Iss khanay mei kia gosht hai?
First we have Iss khanay, which means "this dish." Then we have mei, the word for "in." Next we have the phrase kia gosht hai meaning “is there meat”. Let’s hear the sentence once again.
(slow) Iss khanay mei kia gosht hai?
Iss khanay mei kia gosht hai?
