    re: Arabic/Urdu words in common



    There are many words that are common in both Arabic and Urdu. Sometimes the pronounciation may be different...right now these ones come to my mind:
    - Kitaab (book)
    - Insaan (human)
    - Dunya (world)
    - Sabr (patience)
    - Shukr (thankful)
    - Qawm (nation)
    - Niyat or Niyah in Arabic (intention)
    Arabic/Urdu words in common

    "Allâh is sufficient for me. None has the right to be worshiped but He, in Him I put my trust and He is the Lord of the Mighty Throne."[Tawbah: 129]

    Do you think the pious don't sin?

    They merely:
    Veiled themselves and didn't flaunt it
    Sought forgiveness and didn't persist
    Took ownership of it and don't justify it
    And acted with excellence after they had erred - Ibn al-Qayyim

    there are so many common words. even i dont know arabic very well but many times when i am listening to quran, i got the meaning of aya by common words of urdu and arabic.
    eg
    kullo nafs zaiqatal mout
    (in urdu nafs mean humans, zaiqa mean taste, mout mean death. mean all are common words)

    yeah that is what made me think of this topic I remember our br. whatishisscreenname I really forgot was arguing with me about words meaning one thing and clearly they meant another in Arabic.. it was an interesting ..

    maybe we can pepper this with words that sound the same but mean different things too.. I am trying to learn for I have too many pakistani friends I want to be hospitable and give the illusion that I know what I am talking about

    re: Arabic/Urdu words in common



    Here are some differences:

    kam (Arabic how much, how many) but Urdu = less
    ghussa = choking? in Arabic, but anger in Urdu
    ghaleez - Qur'anic Arabic = firm/strong (as in meethaqan ghaleetha)?, but means filthy in Urdu
    ghareeb = strange in Arabic, but means poor in Urdu

    And looooooads of same ones, but just a few here:
    jayb = pocket
    7aal = condition/state
    imti7aan= examination
    khabeeth (urdu pron khabees) = evil/wicked
    akthar (Urdu pron aksar) = most
    yaqeen = certainty
    taqreeban - about/approximately
    ya3ni = that is/in other words
    waqt= time
    mushkil = problem/difficulty
    3aql = sense/brain
    da3eef (urdu pron zaeef) = weak
    awlad = offspring
    qareeb = near
    qabd (Urdu pron qabz) = constipation
    qanoon = law
    tarjama = translation
    intizaar = waiting
    khala = mother's sister
    jawab = answer
    qabool = to accept
    shatranj =chess
    i3tiraaf = acknowledgement/recognition
    inqilaab = revolution
    shadeed = severe
    shiddat = severity
    mukhtalif = different
    3ilm = knowledge
    mithaal (Urdu pron misaal) = example
    shamaal = north
    jaahil = ignorant
    qaatil/maqtool = killer/killed
    tarbiyyat = upbringing (no shaddah on ya in Arabic?)
    tarteeb = arrangement
    intikhaab = election
    3ajeeb = strange

    I could go on, but those are the ones that immediately come to mind..

    majnoon - "crazy" in Arabic.....a slight variant majnoo means "romeo"/"a guy crazily in love" in Urdu (btw "guy" when pronounced as such means "cow" in Hindi LOL)
    intiqal - "change" or i think it's "transfer" in Arabic and "death"/"decease" in Urdu
    ma3loom - "something known" (Ara) and "to know something" (Urdu)

    Yup. But pronounced zaleel. Means disgraced, humiliated, or brought low.

    Oh and a couple more:

    ghadhab (Urdu pron ghazab) = anger, rage, wrath
    daroorat/daroori (Urdu pron zaroorat/zaroori) = necessity or need/necessary

    Edit:
    And a couple more, libaas = costume/clothing
    gham = grief/sorrow

    re: Arabic/Urdu words in common



    I got some more ....=)

    mowz is banana in Arabic and mowze means socks in urdu
    kaan- 'to be'/was (Ara), ear (Urdu)
    taalib- student in both
    3amal-to act
    faqeer-"poor" in both
    ghareeb- strange (Ara), poor (Urdu).....(reminds me of the nasheed "Laysal Ghareeb"...luv it! )
    Shaam- Syria in both (right?)...it also means "evening" in Urdu
    nasheed- a song in both
    nadhara-sunglasses (Ara...i think so), a scenery (urdu)
    ziyada - "excess" in both
    su-aal- question ....pronounced as sawaal in Urdu
    kitaab- book
    madrasah-school (Ara)...among the Indians and Pakistanis it's usually stereotyped as "a place for learning Quran" (as far as i know it's usually considered secondary to modern education among many....people regard students studying there to be backward and underprivileged....ughhhhh!! )


    don't think i can continue any further for now....i'm all flared up!

    ma'assalaam....
