Ever wondered what your country is called in another language? In today’s post, you’ll get to find out about the translations for ممالک (mumalik) or country names in Urdu so that you can impress the locals and add a new term to your vocabulary. So without further ado, let’s get started!
Looking for a unique language to learn? Urdu can be a solid choice for many travelers like you. Urdu is the first language of 70 million people and the second language of more than 100 million people in India and Pakistan. It is the official language of Pakistan and is officially recognized in the Indian Constitution. Huge discourse communities speaking this language also exist in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the United Arab Emirates. With all those considered, it is a no-brainer why many language learners want to master this language as well.
Asking About One’s Country
If you want to ask someone, “where are you from?” you can say آپ کہاں سے ہیں؟ (aap kahan sey hain). To make it easy for you, I’ll break the question down. آپ (aap) means you, کہاں (kahan) means where, سے (sey) means from, and ہیں (hain) means are. This is a polite way of asking about someone’s country. You can use it with strangers.
What if someone is your age or younger, for instance, your student, junior, or friend? Then you could say تم کہاں سے ہو؟ (tum kahan sey ho?). It has the exact words as the first one mentioned before, having آپ (aap) replaced with تم (tum) and ہیں (hain) replaced by ہو (ho). ہو (ho) is the conjugation of the “is” verb for تم (tum).
Telling About Your Country
If someone asks you any of the questions that we just told you about, you could say میں ملک سے ہو. (mein mulk sey hu) meaning I am from the country. Simply replace the name of your country with the Urdu word ملک (mulk), and you are good to go.
Let’s now learn the names of different countries in alphabetical order.
