Lesson Transcript

INTRODUCTION
Today we’re going to introduce you to some phrases that are ideal for special occasions that you can use with Urdu speakers anywhere in the world! Whether you are sending an e-mail across the globe or saying it in person, the following phrases for celebratory events will allow you to express your sentiments in Urdu. In Pakistan, the custom of exchanging regards and good wishes is very important. Usually Pakistani people shake each other's hand, but remember that people of the opposite sex don’t shake hands with each other.
BODY
In Urdu, "Congratulations" is Mubarak ho. (SLOW) Mubarak ho. Let's break it down by syllable: Mu-ba-rak ho. Now let's hear it once again: Mubarak ho. This expression literally means "Congratulations," and we use it on many special occasions, such as a career move, after passing an exam, at a wedding, and so on.
"Happy birthday" in Urdu is Salgirah mubarak ho. (SLOW) Salgirah mubarak ho. Let's break it down by syllable: Sal-gi-rah mu-ba-ra-k ho. Now let's hear it once again: Salgirah mubarak ho. The first word Salgirah means "birthday." Let's break down this word and hear it one more time: Sal-gi-rah, Salgirah. Next, we have Mubarak ho, literally meaning "Congratulations" or "greetings." All together, we have Salgirah mubarak ho. Literally, this means, "Birthday happy."
Now let's see what we say specifically in other different events that are very straightforward.
"Happy New Year" in Urdu is Naiya saal Mubarak ho. (SLOW) Naiya saal Mubarak ho. Let's break it down by syllable and hear it once again: Nai-ya sa-al Mu-ba-ra-k ho, Naiya saal Mubarak ho. The first word is Naiya and it means "new." The second word is saal. It means "year." Sa-al, saal. And Mubarak ho means "greetings." All together, we have Naiya saal Mubarak ho. This literally means "New Year's greetings."
"Happy Eid" is Eid Mubarak, (SLOW) Eid Mubarak. Let's break it down by syllable and hear it once again: Ei-d Mu-ba-rak. As you can see, the first word is Eid meaning "Eid." Next is Mu-ba-rak meaning “happy.”
"Happy Ramadan" is Ramazan Mubarak. (SLOW) Ramazan Mubarak. Let's break it down by syllable and hear it once again: Ra-ma-zan,” followed by Mu-ba-rak, which means "Happy." All together, we have Ramazan Mubarak.
