What Do There Is and There Are Mean in Urdu?

“There is a book on the table” ka matlab “میز پر ایک کتاب ہے” hai. There is / there are kisi cheez ke maujood hone ko batate hain. Is pattern mein there ka alag se “وہاں” tarjuma zaroori nahi.

When do I use is or are?

Ek countable cheez ke liye there is: a chair. Plural ke liye there are: two chairs. Uncountable cheez ke saath bhi there is: some water. Urdu mein aik chair ke liye “ہے” aur do chairs ke liye “ہیں” aata hai.

Does there always mean wahan?

Nahi. “The book is there” mein there jagah batata hai: کتاب وہاں ہے۔ Lekin “There is a book” ka matlab ہے کہ ایک کتاب موجود ہے۔ Pehle poora sentence dekhein.

How do I ask a question or say no?

“Is there a shop nearby?” = کیا قریب کوئی دکان ہے؟ “Are there any seats?” = کیا کوئی نشستیں خالی ہیں؟ Negative mein “There isn't any water” = پانی نہیں ہے۔ “There aren't any chairs” = کرسیاں نہیں ہیں۔
