Re: what's Urdu for 'HIND-SIGHT'...


not really...andesh means one who thinks...door andesh means the one has a far reaching thinking and when applied to figure of speech it means someone who has a foresight...

...now, Khair andesh mean someone who thinks well for others i.e. a well-wisher. i sometimes sign off my letter as:

faqat Khair andesh

HINT: don't use Faarsi methods to coin the word...u got to use Arabic method.

Re: what's Urdu for 'HIND-SIGHT'...

OK so you proved either Khair-undesh has dual meaning or ............

the closest that comes to hind-sight is, ba'ad mien dekhna!

Re: what's Urdu for 'HIND-SIGHT'...


there is a urdu word which is derived from Arabic...Urdu after all is a 60-35 Farsi/Arabic mixture. :)
