    Learning a new language involves more than just understanding the grammar and syntax. It also requires a strong foundation in vocabulary, particularly when it comes to personal details. This unit will guide you through the essential Urdu vocabulary needed to discuss personal details.

    Personal Details in Urdu

    When introducing yourself or getting to know someone in Urdu, you'll need to be familiar with a few key terms. Here are some of the most common personal details you might discuss:

    • Name (Naam): This is one of the first things you'll share when meeting someone new. For example, "Mera naam Juan hai" means "My name is Juan."

    • Age (Umar): Age is another common topic of conversation. For instance, "Meri umar 40 saal hai" translates to "I am 40 years old."

    • Nationality (Qaumiyat): When discussing your background, you might need to share your nationality. For example, "Main Spanish hoon" means "I am Spanish."

    • Profession (Pesha): Your job or profession is another important detail. For instance, "Main ek doctor hoon" translates to "I am a doctor."

    • Marital Status (Shadi Shuda ya Ghair Shadi Shuda): In Urdu, you can express whether you're married (shadi shuda) or unmarried (ghair shadi shuda).

    Family Members in Urdu

    In addition to your personal details, you might also discuss your family. Here are some key terms:

    • Father (Abbu or Walid): The term for father in Urdu is "Abbu" or "Walid."

    • Mother (Ammi or Walida): The term for mother in Urdu is "Ammi" or "Walida."

    • Brother (Bhai): The term for brother in Urdu is "Bhai."

    • Sister (Behen): The term for sister in Urdu is "Behen."

    • Son (Beta): The term for son in Urdu is "Beta."

    • Daughter (Beti): The term for daughter in Urdu is "Beti."

    Gender-Specific Words in Urdu

    Urdu, like many other languages, has gender-specific words. It's important to use the correct gender when referring to someone. For example, the word for "he" is "woh" and for "she" is also "woh", but the verb changes according to the gender.

    By familiarizing yourself with these terms, you'll be well-equipped to share your personal details and learn about others in Urdu. Remember, practice is key when learning a new language, so try to use these new words in your daily conversations.
