Language Challenge Urdu Vs Persian 

Amir Tavassoly please do more videos on language challenge between urdu and persian

Amir Tavassoly Amir I am from Pakistan . But could you imagine I know all the words you used of Farsi, because in a different dialect of my language we use all these words

Amir Tavassoly we used Chasm as chasme bad door , baran ( rain ) , door ( dar) , water ( oob or obe)... So if you catch Someone from North Of Pakistan, he would be able to pick alot more if you speak slowly.

Amir Tavassoly Is donkey called " khar " in Farsi lol.. a mountain Koh... lolx . So if you found a person from Pak who speak udru and Pashto ( any of old dialect) , he will catch up 99 percent of words.

Amir Tavassoly pillow in Farsi is Balish. We call it Balishth.

Like no shit I literally wanted to bang my head againts the wall this time. Ugh... never felt so frustrated in my life. Like how thick can one be to not know about sheer maal or sheer khorma... How can you not say... oh it's chashm... must be related to eyes! Please please learn Urdu out of a few minutes of that hair care routine, it's a beautiful language ;'( (cries silently)

Also forgot to add the word dast... took my brain a few milliseconds at best to process that.

Ammara Malik you can't blame him for that Urdu is an Indian language.

Diego Sebastián Pérez Oh really?? It is the language of the Muslims of South Asia, no matter Pakistani or Indian. And it has nothing to do with Hindus. Got it?

Ammara Malik hahaha educate yourself a bit about the history of muslims of South Asia. Muslims of South Asia speak many languages, they speak Bengali, Urdu, Punjabi, Malayalam, Tamil, Assamese, bhojpuri, dogri, etc. Urdu is one of the 2 standardized versions of Hindustani which is lingua franca of northern part of the subcontinent and it developed in UP which is in India. The mujahireens brought the language to Pakistan.

Great nation Iran

Urdu is a sign of our slavery towards Persian kings. Urdu is a pidgin/Creole language of Persian + hindustani

@@bharatvats well the real note is that, that's how it is. And it's not our fault that you USE Persian words or Hindi words, you took them.

@@mortezheidyu470 I'm not saying it is fault of modern day Iranians. But as a pakistani/or Indian this Farsi/Persian language was forced upon our ancestors. Persian wasn't mother tongue of any Indian but it was the only official language of Mughal rule , delhi sultanate. Persian was official language of India for about 500 years or more. That's how we got these words in our language. This happened all around the world. Kings captured new lands and forced their language on them , ruining local culture. But hey it's not of your fault. We love Iranian people.

@@bharatvats the same thing happened to Persians due to the Arabian raid, I can feel you!🖤

Well not shit... cuz Like the biggest Persian poet is a Pakistani named Allama iqbal... who's most poetry is in Persian rather than in Urdu.

Moazzam baig .. Allama Iqbal most famous poem is Shikwah and jawab e shikwa which is written in Urdu .. But yeah he wrote in both languages ... And Ashfaq khan is correct any student of Urdu literature can easily understand those Persian words because Urdu used a lot of loan words from Persian language ... i read Urdu literature up-to 10th grade and easily guessed many words

You don’t even need to know literary Urdu to know many Farsi words. Basic Urdu has enough persian as well. And allama Iqbal greatest and most poetry is URDU. What’s wrong with you people making him persian?

I suppose Mozzam was trying to make the point that Persian has a great influence on Urdu. Not just Hazrat Allama Iqbal but Mirza Asadullah Ghalib and other greats of Urdu literature of old school era were expert in Farsi. Maulana Qazi Sajjad Hussain saheb (Late) translated Mathnavi of Maulana Room to Urdu. Mughals, at one stage used to speak only Farsi.

Al Bak dude Allama Iqbal's more than half of the work is in Persian language...you can ask this from any of your Urdu teacher ..he'll tell you.

I doubt that his mother tongue is Urdu, these r simple Urdu words, not high literature ones

If you have been to any school in pakistan till 10th grade you definitely know this stuff. The guy in video seems educated enough but may be speaking real urdu is not in fashion anymore. I have seen kids who say proudly that their urdu is the weakest . This is really bad as Urdu is a highly sophisticated language, it is worth learning and people should never have trouble with their national language .It doesn't make you any cooler but makes you look Dumb.

Urdu is an Indian language originated in the current Indian state of Uttar Pradesh and Delhi, it was made famous and official by Delhi Rulers ( not Islamabad Rulers) who used to use Persian as official language before adopting Urdu. His mother tongue may be Punjabi / Sindhi and not Urdu so he is not fluent in it.

@No name Javed Akhtar one of the famous contemporary Urdu poet and lyricist is from India. UP/ MP and many northern states use Urdu in schools as first/second language. English is replacing as first language in most Institute nowadays. Urdu is respected in India too ...

Talal Bin Ghizal Qureshi What about Sheer-mal?

hahaha.... yeah well said

ah delicious...we always have it on Eids.

no he failed in matric.

I was literally thinking the same.

Afghan?

Tahmina Wali I can also understand both languages so it was interesting for me too

Can you help me about Farsi

@@wedemboys3024 No, she's probably Irani and watches Bollywood movies, lol, love it when people say they can understand our language

Muhammad Moazzam ofcourse Urdu is an Indian language

Muhammad Moazzam cant agree more

Exactly my thoughts

Yup made some mistakes, but good effort. Btw Dast -> Dastana (=gloves). Thats how i guessed it. Still Urdu has so many persian words that we're not using in daily life that i feel Allama Iqbal would be turning in his grave. Makes me sad. And Young Coder: If you're frustrated, go to your bathroom, and shout it off in the mirror. Don't spoil the mood here. Thanks! :)

LibertarianPersian ya that’s a big problem with us. In the news at least they keep it a minimum, not even now but spoken is just atrocious. GAWD! Whole conversations are in half Urdu half English. I was born abroad yet still Speak better Urdu than most Pakistanis. It’s sad when such beautiful and simple Urdu words get replaced for English ones.

Wow thats awesome! Thank you so much for the information, I learned something new today from you :))

Beroj Khan yeah thank you probably my teacher don't know the story , thank you so much information . I hope Amir will also read that correction . Sorry for wrong info

Yes.This is correct. This same is written in history books taught to us in Urdu high schools

Lol. urdu originate from Indiaaaa. i know all urdu/ hindi & persian language

Not turkish but full from farsi and arabic

Chasma also means glasses in Urdu/Hindi/Hindustani

@@نادرالیراحمان بھائی چشمہ کا مطلب ہے آنکھوں پہ لگانے ولا ۔۔۔اسکا اردو میں نام ہے عینک ۔۔۔۔طلحہ کو اردو زبان پہ عبور نہیں ہے ۔۔۔

Chashma also means water in urdu. Clear water

Bro he has been raised in canada so that's the reason

Ashraf Anam sheer and ainak aren't high urdu lol. people use them in everyday language

@A Really? "Main to ainak lana bhool gayi!" "Mujhe ek gilaas sheer do" Do they sound usual?

Ashraf Anam: Ainak is very common. Isn't Ainak the word from the letter 'ain' in every Urdu textbook. Sheer for milk is not common but still we call young babies who only drink milk 'sheer khuaar' which means someone who drinks milk so it is not that uncommon in Urdu.

Agreed. چشمہ is also used for water spring in Urdu.

I agree with Asad Zaidi. Use of Ainak is common in Urdu, specially if one studied Urdu in Pakistan or Pakistani schools. Same is true for Sheer, Yakh (يخ meaning frozen) etc. Due to globalization/westernization, languages are borrowing words from English; e.g. instead of saying 'kya masala hai', Pakistanis nowadays say 'kya problem hai'. New borrowed words directly/indirectly replace old/local vocabulary. Pop culture too facilitates this phenomenon.

Bengali but I can speak Urdu and Hindi also.

Native English, but learning Farsi as my 4th language. Really happy I found your videos!

Wow! Really? Hahaha and you're also speaking English!

Wow that's great Nate, hope I can start learning a 3rd language....wishing you all the best my friend! :)

Amir Tavassoly he not knows good. Urdu 40%+ words is same in urdu n farsi

Thanks for the info!

sjaizhdbnajusbens shauausbwbk Yes true

urdu is older than hindi

@@enejidjsi5939 wrong

urdu =prakrit grammar +some Persian and Arabic words)

Wow!! 😃😃me and Talha have been friends for over 6 years but I still didn't know many of the words 😂😂😅

Cool. Where are you from?

Abix aj Racism exist everywhere! It's not about one specific country!

IDN Bala Urdu as a language mix of arbic and pwrsian so whats your point

Not Arabic lol it's pure persian

Yung Daku there is Arabic in there also in Farsi is mix now days

Reality Check it's just interesting that I understand all of the anthem but I wouldn't understand Pakistanis talking

IDN Bala the anthem is in Urdu. It’s just that all the words except two of them are in Farsi or Arabic as well. But it’s Urdu. Even in grammar and structure.

Shoma khayli azizi Bahador jan. I hope recording went well for you. My thoughts were with you during the gathering I was at today :)

Thank you Amir jan. It went really well, but we missed you for sure!! Look forward to collaborating in the future :)

I'm so glad! Thank you so much Bahador jan, I'm really looking forward to it too :))

@@BahadorAlast dae tolu ta pashto okhawai...staso vedio best wa😊

❤❤❤❤❤😍

Mara Dddd both languages n very well lol

Talha Shahbaz and also dast...fr hand...dasti meaning handkerchief comes frm dast

yes dast is also for hand, dast o baazoo

I knew sheer, as in like sheer khorma

He does not know because he has been raised abroad So it is good he can at least pronounce words correctly other wise those kids who born and raised aboard cant speak normal Urdu some time

Loool

Yes ...if it was a guy from Karachi, he would've definitely guessed alot of these words cuz man these karachiites are good in 'shusta urdu'. And this is coming from a thees Punjabi guy

not at all .... Now a days Karachi people dont used that formal urdu ...... i lived in karachi and i know they adopted many short term words .... Only a Urdu literature student or Writers or Poets can guess these words who are interested in Urdu literature ... Dast (hand ) word never been used in informal langue in any part of Pakistan but it is widely used in Urdu literature .... instead Hath (hand ) is used in informal Urdu

I am not a literature student nor a poet i understood most of it.

I live in Lahore and could have guessed many of them in a heartbeat. You Karachiites got no shit on us Punjabis... Lahore for life

LibertarianPersian i think 40 percent loan words are taken from Persian as Mongols official language was Persian , 40 percent Arabic and 18 percent from Sanskrit and 2 percent from Turkish language

Chashm deed gawah

@@rajababy2009 my friend some iran people use arabic words in farsi(Parsi) but we have persian words for those arabic words too .and we keep persian language beacuse of our poetry .also our modern persian is mix of Old persian language+Avestan language.Avestan language and sanskrit are very near each other.its East iranian language and Old persian is western iranian

@@behradataei6479 i did not see any Sanskrit word as far as i studied the Persian language if you are saying then you might be right But i was talking about URDU language not about Persian language .... I know Persian language took loan words from arabic for Islmic terminology and i know Persian language has their own old words for those loan words ....

@@rajababy2009 my friend i said In old iranian land ,we had three main language =Elamites language way before Arian group came in iran land _Old persian (west Iranian language )and Avestan language (East iranian language ).the Avetsan language is little bit similar to sanskrit .did you here Old persian?old persian sound have some diffrences with modern(new persian) or parsi .Also we had pahlavi language from Parthian(middle persian) group in north of iran .all of these languages are not same but they are part of Indo_European language and then Indo_Iranian language .arabic is in compeletly diffrent language group .and you can reaserch yourself about the orgins of arabic language ,90% arabic of today came from Aramaic language and then hebrew and even in arabic Quran have lots of persian words and Hindi words too but you didnt know it yourself beacuse arabic is mix of lots of languages together .yes the arabic effected the parsi language after islamic religion came in iranian land and its become habit to use those words but we have the old persian words for those words too and it depends for people to use parsi words or arabic words

haha I can understand your point, Talha has been living here in Canada almost his whole life but for the purposes of this video I will try to bring someone who is more fluent in speaking urdu! :)

Thank you for the information! :)

Welcome sir. You should consider making a video including these details. This video will be of good help to you ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vxSd7p1i_TA.html

That being said the two varieties hindi and urdu are the complete opposite of eachother, hindi being the sanskrit version and urdu being the dari version with the use of persian ezafe. There will be more differences in hindi and urdu than urdu and farsi/dari

Hindi and Urdu are mutually intelligible. They are 90% the same.

strangepasserby only when spoken on a basic begging level. The more advanced u go the more the language diverge and it's literally not 90% it's probably 30-40% at khalas urdu and shudd hindi. If ur main source of hindi is bollywood movies then they are 95% urdu posing as hindi. Which is why people think it's the same language.

Thanks John!

I love Urdu but speak Persian

خدارو شکر یه کرد پیدا شود این بگه مابقی که سومری آرامی هستند البته خوشون این میگن خدا چقدر باید تاریخ تحریف کنیم .کرد برای پیوندش با ایران قطع کنه میگه زبان سومری

I think his main language is Punjabi since he said he's from Punjab.

LOOL yeah 😂😂😂

dast in sanskrit means hand in india . Dast-tane (hand _gloves) . chashm is eyes for example chasm-e-babdoor. sheer is milk- baby milk sheer khuaar. urdu is similar to sanskrit - hindi as well.

Pakistan zinda baad 🇵🇰🇵🇰

I will make a part two it will be better! :)

Oh wow yes you're right thank you for your wonderful suggestion! By the way we also say 'Chashm e bad door' for may evil eye be away so our Persian is very close 😊😊💚

Lizza Fatima 😂😂سوجا آپ کو آرام نہیں لگتا کبھی بھی

lol/ no /

Oh intersting!

chashm-e-bad door”

فدایی چشم نمناکت شوم یار

yes , but they prefer to say we arent persian . they say we are pashto and tajik ./and our language is tajiki and dari-im iranian

Oh interesting! thanks for commenting :)

i thought it was called informal

شما لطف داری علی جون, خیلی ممنون ❤❤❤

Thank you so much for your lovely comment Tariq! Really appreciate it, yes we both grew up in Canada but really want to further our learning of both Urdu and Persian. Thanks for encouraging us bro! :)

Yaaayy!! :))

Pait Waly dast nai😝

Yes you got it! :)

Omg! Thats really impressive Raza!! :)

vivtube no they would not lol. who really speaks sanskrit and who really speaks avestan persian in todays time? no one lol. those marathi/hindi/bengali/punjabi/"indian urdu"(?) speakers wouldn't be able to find those links unless they'd have studied sanskrit and old persian before hand. there is a much closer link between urdu and new persian and thats just fact

I don't think so. Yes, Sanskrit and Avestan are sister languages and your comparison is correct but it is impossible for a modern day speaker of any Indic or Iranian language to actually get those words unless they have knowledge of the cognates, which has nothing much to do with modern Indic or Iranian languages.

Ashraf Anam thats literally what i just said lmaooo. what was the point of repeating it ?

Lol

A sorry I didn't read your comment beforehand

Great information, thanks for your comment Shakeel :)

Not true. Urdu was created by the Turkic rulers from central Asia, whom also spoke Arabic and Persian.

*but

hahaha no YOU'RE GOOD!

Great job!

Shahzad Shah true that! He didn’t know what dast, sheer and Chasm is. They are well known urdu words

oh interesting! I'm planning on doing a Sanskrit vs Persian language challenge :)

sheer is used in most north Indian langages Pujabi/Kashmiri/Sindhi/Hindi/Gujarati/Marathi etc.

Mayank Singh Rajput Nepali and Bangla are also derived from Sanskrit

Oh interesting, haha I need to learn some urdu lol

lol..
