Urdu: Inn jumlo kaa Arbee mai tarjumaa kee jiye

[Amélie222]

Anyone know what this says and in which language?
Just interested to see.

Hi Amélie,
This is not Arabic, perhaps it's Farsi, or Udru.
Could you please provide us with a bigger "portion" of your text ? Thanks

 

[Amélie222]

That's all I have - I don't have a bigger picture.

 

[lama]

there is the word:arabic in the picture by the way,

 

[cherine]

Yes, but this is not an Arabic text.

Hi Amélie.

The writing in the picture is Urdu (not Udru, cherine héhé joking - I know it was a typo)

Anyway, it says:

"Inn jumlo kaa Arbee mai tarjumaa kee jiye:-"
which means:
"Translate these sentences into Arabic:-"

Notice three Arabic-derived words in there - Arbee (ﯽﺒﺭﻋ) meaning Arabic, Jumlo (ﮞﻭﻠﻣﺠ) meaning "words" & Tarjuma (ﮧﻣﺟﺭﺘ) meaning "Translation"

By the way - where did you get this from? hmmm..

Yes this is Urdu

the only word I didnt recognize is jumala....is that the same as lafz?

edit: ok, jumala is the same thing as vakya...sentence.

This is according to Platts Urdu Dictionary:


24. jumla: (page 389)

(fr. A. jumla), [...] (in Gram.) a proposition; a clause; a sentence:--jumla-ě-ismīya, s.m. A nominal sentence, a sentence that begins with the subject (subst. or pronoun), or one that is composed of an inchoative and an enunciative;--jumla-ě-shart̤īya, s.m. A conditional sentence or clause...​

Mod note : Please don't quote more than four lines. Thank you.

The word is "jumlah" (pronunciation) (Urdu: ﮫﻠﻣﺠ). Some people pronounce it "jumlaa" (long "a" sound)
I guess this is one of the things that seperates Urdu and Hindi - words like these. Jumlaa wouldn't be used in Hindi, only in Urdu (it comes from the same word in Arabic)

Sorry I made a mistake by translating "jumlaa" as word - it should have been sentence. My bad.
