Urdu grammar question

I'm just practicing writing little pieces.

Now, isn't a ReRha horse drawn?

No. Its a push cart by a human. Made of wood top and large metal wheels with spokes.

Re: Urdu grammar question

except a few, i think here there seems to be no genuine desire to learn a language. its more like a chit chat. so i think i waste my time trying to write a detailed answer like i did on a couple of occasions. sorry to say that.

Are! yeh mat sochiye! Main bahut khush hun kih koi sanjeedah urdudaan idhar aae hain! Aap aur Divana donon bare madad karnewale (is there a better word for this?) hain.

Maybe you can tell me what that little diacritical mark or letter is called, the little double dashs over the final alif in words like fauran and ghaliban, etc. I want to ask the people who designed the font if/how I can write that on the computer. I asked about this in a different thread, but nobody responded.

Thanks.

I think the double dash (Do Zabar) you talked about may be difficult to find on computer since I have never tried that.

Fouran and Ghaliban are examples of very unique way of writing Urdu words.

Interestingly, there is a name *'Shudden' *(male) which people can write with double dash.

I am not sure how you get to ask these specific questions if you do not know Urdu.

I never said I don’t know Urdu – but I am rusty and I love language in general and I am trying to remember/expand/revitalize my Urdu. Shine it up.

I was thrilled to find that one can type in Nastaliq, but then when I want to write a word that has that do zabr wala alif, I can’t. So I wanted to email the people who designed the font (Download Nafees Nastaleeq Font) and ask them if there is some little keyboard maneuver I could do, and I wanted to have the correct term before I asked. Otherwise there are a bunch of words I can’t write with.

The questions about about veggies and reRhas were because I was just writing a little about some of the nostalgic sounds and scenes I remember from Lahore and 'Pindi.

There is so much in Urdu–and who of us doesn’t have room to learn more? (These days it seems like so many people only use English vocabulary in Urdu sentence structure and say things any ol’ way and call it Urdu, and it is really nice to find people who know what they’re talking about.)

Very nice!

And thank you very much for the font.

I suppose one has to place this in windows font folder.

Yes, I think that is what I did. Most of my computer techie stuff I do with the Helen Keller method and so I really don't know how I accomplish it...

I do know that this font won't work in Windows Vista. Works fine in XP and previous.
