INTRODUCTION
Afrah: Assalam u Alaikum Urdupod101.com mein khush amdeed.
Eric: Hi everyone, and welcome back to Urdupod101.com. I’m Eric, and this is All About, lesson 12 - The Top Five Classroom Phrases in Urdu.
Afrah: Hi, Afrah here. In this lesson, you’ll learn the top five phrases you will hear in a classroom.

Lesson focus

Eric: Now, without further ado, let’s hear the first phrase. “Please repeat.”
Afrah: Barah e meharbani dohraye.
Eric: When you’re in a classroom, hopefully you’ll be doing a lot of speaking.
Afrah: The teacher will probably make you repeat many words and phrases, right?
Eric: Right. That’s why “please repeat” is the first phrase we’re introducing. Can you say that phrase again?
Afrah: Barah e meharbani dohraye.
Eric: “Please repeat.” Now let’s listen to the next phrase. “Please look this way.”
Afrah: Barah e meharbani iddhar dekhiye.
Eric: It sounds a lot like the phrase we just went over.
Afrah: That’s right Barah e meharbani means “please.” So when you ask someone to do something, the tone will be softer if you add Barah e meharbani in front of the phrase.
Eric: That makes sense. Can we hear it again?
Afrah: Sure. Barah e meharbani idhar dekhiye.
Eric: “Please look this way.”
Afrah: For example, if the teacher points to the whiteboard, he or she might say, Barah e meharbani idhar dekhiye.
Eric: The next phrase is another request. “Please read.”
Afrah: Barah e meharbani padhiye. If the teacher wants you to practice reading some word, phrase or passage, you can expect to hear Barah e meharbani padhiye.
Eric:What if the teacher wants you to write something? What will he or she say?
Afrah: That will be our next phrase!
Eric: It’s “Please write.”
Afrah: Barah e meharbani likhiye. Once more, Barah e meharbani likhiye.
Eric:The next phrase is a question. It’s “Do you understand?”
Afrah: kya aap ko samajh aaya?
Eric: Teachers want to make sure that their students are keeping up with everything. So they will often ask if everyone understands, right?
Afrah: Right. kya aap ko samajh aaya? Samajh is a verb that means “to understand.”
Eric: And the kya indicates a question. It’s like a question mark.
Afrah: You might also hear theek hai kya? or just theek hai?
Eric: And this literally means “is it okay” or “is everything okay.”
Afrah: This is used pretty often as well. It’s less formal.
Eric: In other situations, it would probably be translated as “are you okay?” but in a classroom, it can be used to confirm whether or not someone understands something. Can we hear that phrase again?
Afrah: Theek hai? or Theek hai kya?
Eric: “Is everything okay?” So let’s recap what we learned in this lesson. Can we hear all of those phrases again one more time?
Afrah: No problem!
Eric: First is “Please repeat.”
Afrah: Barah e meharbani dohraye.
Eric: Then, “Please look this way.”
Afrah: Barah e meharbani idhar dekhiye
Eric: “Please read.”
Afrah: Barah e meharbani padhiye
Eric: “Please write.”
Afrah: Barah e meharbani likhiye.
Eric: And finally, “Do you understand?”
Afrah: kya aap ko samajh aaya?
Eric: There you have it, all five phrases for the classroom. We hope you find them useful, listeners!

Outro

Eric:Okay, that’s all for this lesson. Thank you for listening, everyone, and we’ll see you next time!
Afrah: phr milenge.
