Vocabulary: Yes and No

This lesson will be quick and easy. With all that we've covered so far, we still haven't learned the Urdu words for "yes" and "no". The Urdu translation varies depending on who you're speaking to:

Informal:

• han = yes
• nahin = no

Formal:

• ji = yes
• nahin = no

Extremely Formal:

• ji han = yes
• ji nahin = no

The ending "n"'s in both "han" and "nahin" have a soft, nasal sound. Note that the extremely formal translation is seldom used. You probably want to save those for when you're trying to woo your future in-laws.
