    Pronunciation and Usage

    Understanding the pronunciation of these words is crucial for effective communication. Each word has unique sounds and intonations that need to be mastered. Practice saying these words out loud and use online resources to listen to native speakers pronounce these words.

    In terms of usage, these words can be used in various ways depending on the situation. For example, to ask for help, you can say "مجھے مدد کی ضرورت ہے" (I need help). If there is a fire, you can say "یہاں آگ لگ گئی ہے" (There is a fire here).

    Practice Exercises

    To familiarize yourself with these words, it's important to practice using them in sentences. Try to create your own sentences using these words and practice saying them out loud. You can also practice with a partner and create emergency scenarios where you would need to use these words.
