| 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! |
| DIALOGUE |
| Aliya : ایک سو |
| Khalid: دو سو |
| Aliya : پانچ سو |
| Khalid: ایک ہزار |
| Aliya : تیرہ سو |
| Khalid: سولہ سو |
| Aliya : دو ہزار |
| Khalid: تین ہزار |
| Aliya : آٹھ ہزار |

| Eric: Now let’s hear it one time slowly. |
| Aliya : ایک سو |
| Khalid: دو سو |
| Aliya : پانچ سو |
| Khalid: ایک ہزار |
| Aliya : تیرہ سو |
| Khalid: سولہ سو |
| Aliya : دو ہزار |
| Khalid: تین ہزار |
| Aliya : آٹھ ہزار |
| Khalid: دس ہزار |
| Eric: One more time, with the translation. |
| Aliya: ایک سو |
| Eric: 100! |
| Khalid: دو سو |
| Eric: 200! |
| Aliya: پانچ سو |
| Eric: 500! |
| Khalid: ایک ہزار |
| Eric: 1000! |
| Aliya: تیرہ سو |
| Eric: 1300! |
| Khalid: سولہ سو |
| Eric: 1600! |
| Aliya: دو ہزار |
| Eric: 2000! |
| Khalid: تین ہزار |
| Eric: 3000! |
| Aliya: آٹھ ہزار |
| Eric: 8000! |
| Khalid: دس ہزار |
| Eric: 10000! |
| 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! |
