Talking with Friends—Everyday Urdu You’ll Love
When kids learn a new language, one of the first things they want to do is talk to friends. That’s why learning everyday Urdu phrases is such a great place to start. It’s simple, useful, and helps kids feel confident from the very first “hello.”
Start with Greetings
In Urdu, people greet each other warmly. Common phrases include:
- السلام علیکم (As-salaam alaikum) – Peace be upon you (hello)
- کیا حال ہے؟ (Kya haal hai?) – How are you?
- ٹھیک ہوں، شکریہ (Theek hoon, shukriya) – I’m fine, thank you
These phrases set a friendly tone and are used in everyday life at home, at school, and on the playground.
Everyday Words with Big Impact
Children also love learning short, useful expressions they can use with friends:
- دوست (dost) – friend
- آو! (aao!) – come!
- چلو! (chalo!) – let’s go!
- واہ! (wah!) – wow!
These fun, expressive words help kids feel part of the conversation.
Play and Practice
The best way to learn is through play. Language learning platforms like Dinolingo use cartoons, games, and songs to teach Urdu in a natural and joyful way. Kids practice greetings, questions, and friendly expressions while watching and playing.
