Conjunctions: And + Or

Today we have a quick and easy lesson in which we'll cover the Urdu words for "and" and "or":

• aur = and
• yah = or

Here are a few examples:

• Mansoor aur Sanya kaam kar rahe hain = Mansoor and Sanya are doing work
• Ham kaayinge aur pir ham jaayinge = We'll eat and then we'll go
• Aap chaaval yah naan chaiye? = Do you want rice or naan?
• Saheeh yah galat? = True or false?

When using the word "or" in the context of approximating numbers (e.g. "two or three minutes"), the word "yah" is left out completely and the numbers are just said one after the other:

• doh teen minat = two or three minutes
• saath sattar kitaben = sixty or seventy books
