Make it your own
Write one price question, one size question and one polite request for a receipt. Translate them into Urdu. Check that you have asked about price with how much, not how many.
For Urdu examples with a gendered speaker, change sakta to sakti, raha to rahi, or ga to gi as appropriate. The English sentence often stays the same.
