Question

How do I say "what is your name?"

Community Answer

'Aapka naam kia hai?' is what you say. Naam is Urdu for name. So if you start the conversation and say 'naam' very politely, they'll tell you their name.

Question

How do I say "good morning" in Pakistan?

Community Answer

'Subha Bakher' is the common translation. This, however, is not a common thing to say in a formal conversation. It is better to start your conversation right away, after say Salam.

Question

How do I say "Hi, what is your name." in Pakistan?

Community Answer

Just say, 'assalamu 'alaikum, aap ka kia naam hai? Or if you're in the capital or Karachi or some developed place, say that in English, people don't tend to mind. If they understand you, they'll reply with their name. 'Naam' is Urdu for name.

Question

How do I say, "hello"?

Community Answer

"Asalum aleikum." This is more of a formal way to greet someone. This means "hello" in Arabic as well as in Somali.

Question

How do I say goodbye in Pakistan?

Community Answer

People commonly say "Allah Hafiz" or "Khuda Hafiz"; we also say "Alwidaah". But you can simply just say goodbye, because most people in Pakistan understand English.
