INTRODUCTION
Eric: Hi everyone, Eric here, and welcome back to UrduPod101.com. This is Basic Bootcamp Lesson 5 - Counting from 100-10,000 in Urdu. This is the last part of our five-part series that will help you ease your way into Urdu.
Afrah: Assalam u Alaikum. Hi, I’m Afrah.
Eric: In this lesson, we'll continue with Urdu numbers. But now, we’re venturing into higher number territory, with the numbers from one hundred all the way to ten thousand!
Afrah: Sounds great!
Eric: You’ll be listening to two people at an auction.
Afrah: That’s right! They’ll be bidding on a sari.
Eric: Let’s listen to the conversation!

POST CONVERSATION BANTER
Eric: Poor Aliya walked away with nothing, but Khalid seems to have gotten a beautiful new sari. How much did he pay for it?
Afrah: Well, he paid 10,000 rupees!
Eric: Sounds like a lot for a sari. It must have been a really nice one, or maybe he just really wanted it.
Afrah: Hmm, yeah, maybe it was studded with precious stones.
Eric: Okay, so they were shouting out a lot of big numbers in this conversation. Let’s take a closer look at how to put them together.
VOCAB LIST
Eric: In the last Bootcamp lesson about numbers, we learned that “12” in Urdu is
Afrah: baarah
Eric: And “13” is
Afrah: tehrah
Eric: And so on. How about “21?”
Afrah: ikkis
Eric: And so on up to “99” which is
Afrah: ninyanve
Eric: And then near the end of the lesson, we learned that “100” is
Afrah: ek sau
Eric: It’s exactly the same as in English. 100 is the combination of 1 and the word for "hundred" which is,
Afrah: ek sau, and it’s also just called sau like “100” in English.
Eric: So here’s the question. How do we start forming numbers over 100?
Afrah: Well, it’s very simple actually. We just take ek sau and then put the number after it.
For example, 101 is ek sau plus ek.
Eric: How about 111?
Afrah: That’s ek sau and gyarah. So it comes to ek sau gyarah.
Eric: You can see again that this pattern is the same. Now let’s go through multiples of 100 for 100 all the way up to 900. Afrah, please give us the numbers.
Afrah: Okay, to create multiples of 100, we put the number in front of sau.
Eric: Let’s start from “100.”
Afrah: ek sau.
Eric: Literally, “100.” How about “200?”
Afrah: do sau.
Eric: How about “300?”
Afrah: teen sau
Eric: “400”
Afrah: char sau
Eric: “500”
Afrah: paanch sau
Eric: “600”
Afrah: chay sau
Eric: How about “700?”
Afrah: saat sau
Eric: “800”
Afrah: That would be aath sau
Eric: And “900”
Afrah: nau sau
Eric: Before moving on, let’s just recap them one more time. “100.”
Afrah: ek sau
Eric: “200”
Afrah: do sau
Eric: “300”
Afrah: teen sau
Eric: “400”
Afrah: char sau
Eric: “500”
Afrah: paanch sau
Eric: “600”
Afrah: chay sau
Eric: “700?”
Afrah: saat sau
Eric: “800”
Afrah: aath sau
Eric: And “900”
Afrah: nau sau
Eric: And now “1000,” which is a new word.
Afrah: It’s hazar, which means “thousand.” It’s similar to 100 where we say “1” before “hundred.” Therefore “1000” is ek hazar.
VOCAB AND PHRASE USAGE
Eric: Now as you may have guessed, the pattern is going to stay the same. Let’s go to “2000.”
Afrah: do hazar
Eric: “3000”
Afrah: teen hazar
Eric: “4000”
Afrah: char hazar
Eric: “5000”
Afrah: paanch hazar
Eric: And “6000”
Afrah: chay hazar
Eric: “7000”
Afrah: saat hazar
Eric: “8000”
Afrah: aath hazar
Eric: And “9000”
Afrah: nau hazar

Lesson focus

Eric: Now let’s introduce a complex number so that we can see how it’s all put together. Up until now, we’ve been using pretty simple numbers.
Afrah: I’m glad you think they're simple!
Eric: They are very easy numbers, like “3000” and “4000.” Let’s just pick a random number, but one that’s a little more complex, like “3592.”
Afrah: Okay.
Eric: So we start out with “3000,”
Afrah: teen hazar
Eric: “500,”
Afrah: paanch sau
Eric: then “92,”
Afrah: baanave.
Eric: Put it all together and we get
Afrah: teen hazar paanch sau baanave
Eric: “3592.” These are the building blocks for you to count all the way from 1 to 10,000.
Afrah: Just keep in mind the few exceptions and you'll be all set.
Eric: Now we did say that we’d go up to 10,000. So let’s talk about that number for a moment, because it’s important.
Afrah: Yes, because in English, you can just say 10,000. It’s the same in Urdu.
Eric: So what’s the word for “10,000?”
Afrah: das hazar
Afrah: das hazar means “10,000.” Let’s go over the keywords from this lesson.
Eric: First, what’s “100” again?
Afrah: ek sau
Eric: “1000,”
Afrah: ek hazar
Eric: And “10,000,”
Afrah: das hazar
Eric: There you have it. Now Afrah, I think there’s one more number we really should cover.
Afrah: And what’s that?
Eric: What’s “zero?”
Afrah: That’s sifar.
Eric: Can you say it one more time?
Afrah: si-far

Outro

Eric: Okay. That’s it for this lesson. And this is also the last lesson of this Basic boot camp series, so thanks for being here with us! We hope you enjoyed it and found it useful. We’ll see you again in another series.
Afrah: phr milenge.
Eric: Goodbye!
