[Buildingblox17]

[ppsen]

Mashallah!! Chashm e Baddoor!!

[davidshazusa]

Americans are many face lizards, they are not for Democracy but they are like British or Spanish or Italian Imperialism.............Americ­ans are dirty Imperialist, dirty Pigs

[LetsLearnArabic]

Rated lady

[WordsofIce]

I love how fluent she is! One doesn't come across people who take the time to absorb and understand a language so completely!

[himanshuyardi]

I ve lived in the usa and Urdu is introduced more and more in american colleges , I thought that maybe they found Urdu a beautifully language but they are teaching Urdu to people to be alert of Pakistani Islamic terrorists

[SJGibbons1000]

why do they keep switching back and forth?

[asuskkj]

WE PAKISTANI ARE CLEVER AND DUMB SAME TIME, WE HAVE TO UNDERSTAND WHAT SHE SAY, RATHER THAN LIKING HER ACCENT THAT SHE TALKS NICE URDU, SHE MIGHT BE AN AGENT, NO ONE KNOWS

[siespanol101]

hahaha urdu sucks, likea english word every 10 words

They dont even have a word for democracy LOL

[saeedulhassan]

@siespanol101 Dear to me its beauty of a language if you can use other words and still the you can communicate ... well we do have word for democracy i.e. "KAMHOORIYAT"

[siespanol101]

@saeedulhassan 00:16+ she says demcracy=no word for it and a language that uses so many foreign words sucks

[saeedulhassan]

@siespanol101 you may have your own point of view about it. But can you give me name of a language which does not use foreign words? Don't say English, since English uses make foreign words e.g Mullah is an Arabic word but now in English we use it as it is. This list can go on for English.

[siespanol101]

@saeedulhassan The point is when you hear most languages they sound foreign but when you hear urdu you can count 10+ english words just in the video

All languages has loan words but no1 word every 10 words like urdu

[saeedulhassan]

@siespanol101 I would say there are words but the lady perhaps does not know all of them, come on I will feel bad if you simply say Urdu sucks.... :)

[siespanol101]

@saeedulhassan it is not only the lady the dude does it to

dude: "...strategy team...tv channels or radio stations", "...control...pointless...", ".. critics...innocent lives lost..."

See what I mean, it is not using some foreign words here and there but the fact that urdu doesnt modernise like other languages so the dude (who I assume speaks perfect urdu) still uses english words ater like every 10 urdu words



[saeedulhassan]

@siespanol101 yes you are right about the fact that Urdu lacks in modernization. As by nature it adopts other words in its own dictinoary. Cheers man.

[yuandeye]

@saeedulhassan DEC 18, 2011. For instance, Chines, Spanish, Russian, Polish, Arabic, Italian, German, FRENCH Korean, and may others....They do NOT fiddle with foreign words....it is the sicken habits of Indians and Pakistanis public, Bollywood and ignorant Politicians, professors and those good for nothing who punctuate with English words.

[saeedulhassan]

@yuandeye you are right..

[MrBlackberry427]

@yuandeye there is a reason for it man..

[siespanol101]

@yuandeye I speak Swedish, English, Spanish and some French and in Swedish we do add English words though not even 5% like Urdu but in Spanish and French less then 0.5% English in the language

If people so badly want to preserv Urdu then modernise it already

[sam7748]

Wow!

[MiraGiki]

Koi nahi :D

[kinzoo786]

[hbwff5]
