friends, what is the singular for منشیات?
How is منشیات pronounced please indicate in roman transliteration.
Thanks.

Gope SaaHib,

Google searches reveal that it is also used in the singular. My print dictionary states that منشیات is Pseudo-Arabic from the word نشہ. The romanized pronunciation of منشیات is munash-shiyaat.

Yours sincerely,

Alex

Ah, but urdu lughat has the pronunciation: مُنْشِّیات munshshiyaat

BTW which is your print dictionary?

Gope SaaHib,

My print dictionary is 'Standard 21st Century Dictionary: Urdu to English" (2007) compiled by Prof. Bashir Ahmad Qureshi and revised and enlarged by Dr. Abdul Haq.

You have pointed out that there are at least two pronunciations. You can either use the one you find easier to pronounce or use the pronunciation that is used by any Urdu speakers you know.

Yours sincerely,

Alex

Thanks, iskander e azam SaaHib.
Urdu lughat pronunciation is munshshiyaat. Can someone among my urdu speaker friends tell me how to pronounce -nshsh-? On the other hand -nashsh- poses no problem.

 

[marrish]

munashshiyaat is correct, I reckon, the sg. could be deduced as منشّیً munashshiyan but I'm not sure. I certainly follow the B.A. Qureshi's dictionary.

-nshsh- is not right.

manshiyaat is very common!

Thank you very much, marrish SaaHib.

 

[marrish]

You are welcome indeed.

Would everyone attest to this that there is no known singular form of manshiyaat? If not can it be used in the singular? Some online dictionaries do but I cannot say for certain.

 

[Sheikh_14]

Sharapova has been correctly suspected of using the illicit meldonium drug for a period of 10 years. How would you say illicit meldonium drug as opposed to drugs in Urdu?

 

[mundiya]

One of the words for illicit in Urdu is "naa-jaa'iz"

 

[Sheikh_14]

No doubt mundiya jee I was more interested in the singular form of manshiiyaat and if it could indeed be used in the singular.

 

[cherine]

Technically, it should be munash-shin مُنَشٍّ or munash-shia مُنَشِّية. The word منشيات (of the root ن-ش-ا) is from نشوة meaning ecstasy (the feeling, not the drug ) or drunkness. From it form منشيات it means: the thing that gives نشوة.
