Urdu → Vocabulary → 0 to A1 Course → Days of the Week and Months

In learning a new language, one of the fundamental aspects is mastering the vocabulary that allows us to communicate effectively about time. Being able to discuss the days of the week and the months of the year is essential, not just for daily conversations but also for planning events, making appointments, and understanding cultural contexts. In Urdu, like many languages, these terms are deeply rooted in the culture and provide insight into how time is perceived and celebrated.

In this lesson, we will explore the days of the week and months of the year in Urdu. We will cover their pronunciations, meanings, and usage in sentences. By the end of this lesson, you will be equipped with the vocabulary you need to talk about dates confidently.

Days of the Week[edit | edit source]

The days of the week in Urdu each have unique names and significance. Understanding these can help you engage in conversations about daily activities, schedules, and routines.

List of Days[edit | edit source]

Let's start with the days of the week:

Urdu	Pronunciation	English
اتوار	itvār	Sunday
پیر	pīr	Monday
منگل	mangal	Tuesday
بدھ	budh	Wednesday
جمعرات	jumeraat	Thursday
جمعہ	jumma	Friday
ہفتہ	hafta	Saturday

Each day carries its own rhythm and significance in Urdu culture. For instance, جمعہ (jumma) is particularly special as it is a day of congregational prayers for Muslims.

Usage of Days[edit | edit source]

Here are some examples of how to use the days of the week in sentences:

1. آج اتوار ہے۔ (Āj itvār hai.) - Today is Sunday.

2. میں پیر کو کام پر جا رہا ہوں۔ (Main pīr ko kām par jā rahā hūn.) - I am going to work on Monday.

3. آپ بدھ کو کیا کریں گے؟ (Āp budh ko kyā karenge?) - What will you do on Wednesday?

As you can see, the structure is quite similar to English, which makes it easier for you as a beginner.

Months of the Year[edit | edit source]

Now, let's move on to the months of the year. Just like the days, the months also reflect cultural and historical significance.

List of Months[edit | edit source]

Here are the months in Urdu:

Urdu	Pronunciation	English
جنوری	janvāri	January
فروری	farvāri	February
مارچ	mārch	March
اپریل	aprīl	April
مئی	maī	May
جون	jūn	June
جولائی	jūlāi	July
اگست	agast	August
ستمبر	sitambar	September
اکتوبر	aktūbar	October
نومبر	nōvambar	November
دسمبر	disambar	December

Each month has its own unique cultural and seasonal significance. For example, جون (jūn) can be quite hot in many regions of Pakistan, while دسمبر (disambar) brings cooler weather.

Usage of Months[edit | edit source]

Now let’s look at some examples of how to use the months in sentences:

1. میں جنوری میں پاکستان جا رہا ہوں۔ (Main janvāri mein Pākistān jā rahā hūn.) - I am going to Pakistan in January.

2. فروری میں بہت سردی ہوتی ہے۔ (Farvāri mein bahut sardi hoti hai.) - It gets very cold in February.

3. آپ کا جنم دن کس مہینے میں ہے؟ (Āp kā janam din kis mahīne mein hai?) - In which month is your birthday?

These examples illustrate how you can incorporate months into everyday conversations.
