| INTRODUCTION |
| Becky: Hi everyone, and welcome back to UrduPod101.com. This is Beginner Season 1 Lesson 13 - The Most Simple Urdu Recipe. Becky here. |
| Hamza: السلام علیکم (Assalam u alaikum). I'm Hamza. |
| Becky: In this lesson, you’ll learn the future imperative form. The conversation takes place at home. |
| Hamza: It's between a man and a woman. |
| Becky: The speakers are friends; therefore, they’ll speak informal Urdu. Okay, let's listen to the conversation. |
| DIALOGUE |
| خاتون: یہ لسی بہت اچھی ہے. آپ نے اسے کس طرح بنایا؟ میں بنانا چاہتی ہوں. |
| آدمی: یہ بہت آسان ہے. دہی، برف، اور مکسر میں تھوڑا سا نمک ڈالو اور پهینٹ دو. |
| خاتون: بس یہی؟ بہت جلدی بنتی ہو گی. |
| آدمی: جی ہاں، صرف دو منٹ لگتے ہیں. |
| خاتون: میں جب گھر جاؤں گی تو اسے بنانے کی کوشش کروں گی. |
| آدمی: جی، مجھے بتانا کیسی گئی. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation one time slowly. |
| خاتون: یہ لسی بہت اچھی ہے. آپ نے اسے کس طرح بنایا؟ میں بنانا چاہتی ہوں. |
| آدمی: یہ بہت آسان ہے. دہی، برف، اور مکسر میں تھوڑا سا نمک ڈالو اور پهینٹ دو. |
| خاتون: بس یہی؟ بہت جلدی بنتی ہو گی. |
| آدمی: جی ہاں، صرف دو منٹ لگتے ہیں. |
| خاتون: میں جب گھر جاؤں گی تو اسے بنانے کی کوشش کروں گی. |
| آدمی: جی، مجھے بتانا کیسی گئی. |
| Becky: Listen to the conversation with the English translation. |
| Woman: This lassi is excellent. How did you make it? I want to try. |
| Man: It's very easy. Put yogurt, ice, and a little bit of salt in the mixer and whip it. |
| Woman: That's it? Must be very quick to make. |
| Man: Yeah, barely takes two minutes. |
| Woman: I'll try it when I get home then. |
| Man: Yeah, let me know how it goes. |
| POST CONVERSATION BANTER |
| Becky: I love lassi! I didn’t realize they were made with salt though. |
| Hamza: Well, you can add salt or sugar to a lassi. A sweet lassi is good in the morning, and a salty lassi is good in the afternoon. |
| Becky: I bet they’re good during the hot summer. |
| Hamza: Yes, they are. You can also drink other drinks, such as fresh sugarcane juice, to keep cool. |
| Becky: How hot are the summers in Pakistan? |
| Hamza: It depends on the area. Apart from northern areas of Pakistan, the temperature goes to 40 and in some areas to 50 degrees. |
| Becky: Wow, that’s really hot! How do people cope with those temperatures? |
| Hamza: Try to stay inside during the day. Travel or run errands during the late half of the day or the evening. |
| Becky: Are there lots of mosquitoes in the evening? |
| Hamza: Yes, there are. You should also use mosquito repellent. |
| Becky: Do you have any other tips? |

| Becky: Let’s hear some examples. |
| Hamza: کرنا |
| Becky: “Please do.” |
| Hamza: دیکھنا |
| Becky: “Please see.” |
| Hamza: We often use this form to tell someone to do something that they can only do after we’ve left. |
| Becky: Such as a parent telling their child to do something when they get to school. |
| Hamza: This form can be used with anyone and doesn’t change depending on gender. For example, کھانے کے آغاز میں، کڑوے کھانے کی اشیاء پہلے کهانا. |
