How to say how are you in Punjabi

Punjabi language is pretty much close to Hindi and Sanskrit, but its pronunciation is bit laid back and involves a lot of stress on many points. While learning Indian languages, you need to take care of the syntax when it comes to a phrase rather than only a word.

So, when you try to learn how to say how are you in Punjabi, you will be getting three Punjabi words only, but no automatic translator should be used because it may twist the syntax of the language.

 

How to say how are you in Punjabi

 

Phonetically, the Punjabi words for ‘How are you’ would be:

  • Tusī’n Kiwe’n Ho (Used for formally and also for elder people in age, authority and position)
  • Tū’n Kiwe’n Hai’n (Used informally and also for younger people in age, authority and position)

Also notice the new sound used to represent the dot at the end of the words represented by: ‘n

This sound is particular to some of the languages in India. Its sound is different from the Anuswara because it relates more to ‘n’ than ‘m’.

How to say see you later in Punjabi

It’s easy to learn how to say see you later in Punjabi. However, you need to understand that contextually, it might also mean ‘see you again’. However, we need to know that actually this Punjabi phrase means a different thing.

I was checking the Google translation for this also and they have also given the wrong meaning–they have provided the meaning for ‘see you again’.

In conversational Punjabi, you may use the same expression but if you are learning Punjabi on a serious note, you need to know the subtle difference between these two phrases.

Once again, just notice that while talking in Punjabi, there might be a little or no difference between the phrases “See you later” and “See you again”, but if deeper meaning is to be understood, we need to know the difference.

I have tried to provide the exact and literal translation of “see you later” in Punjabi, and I hope that it will be helpful for you.

Different styles in writing and pronouncing of Punjabi words

Punjabi words have strange pronunciation and spellings

Punjabi is a very open language. It gives the option to use various words that are imported from different languages around the world. A lot of people believe that the origin of Punjabi language is Prakrit, but experts have shared their findings that it is Sanskrit that’s the root of Punjabi.

When you pronounce many words and names in Punjabi, you will notice that you are justifying some of the very fundamental and often-ignored rules of pronunciation of Sanskrit alphabet itself.

But anyways, our present discussion is about Punjabi words and how they are pronounced but written differently and sometimes does not have a spelling.

Consider for that matter the word ਚਾਹੁੰਦਾ…

While speaking Punjabi, people will say ਚਾਹੁਣਾ, ਚਾਹੁਣੈ.

However, these kinds of differences arise in number of languages, and there is not too much trouble in this. The real problem lies in the popularity of ambiguity of spellings.

Conversational Punjabi is very much different from what the written Punjabi is. This is the reason a lot of people can’t write Punjabi script properly–they will have innumerable spelling mistakes. You will see almost zero standardization in the spellings which has led to confusion as to which spelling is right.

In my opinion, there should be a proper spelling standardization of spellings and it should propagated through the government organizations and offices. Otherwise, Punjabi language will lose its original flavor, as it seems to be doing now.

I remember I was sitting in Kaua’i when somebody asked me: ‘How do you say “I love you” in Punjabi?’

I was kind of confused because we don’t say it–most of the youngsters use the English expression itself. If I am true, I have never heard anybody saying to someone ‘I love you’ in Punjabi language literally translated.

It became a curious subject for me and I decided to write about it, in case somebody really wants to try.

EnglishPunjabiTransliteration
I love you (male)ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂMai’n Tainū Piyāra Karadā Hā’n
I love you (female)ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦੀ ਹਾਂMai’n Tainū Piyāra Karadī Hā’n

The word ‘ਪਿਆਰ’ can also be replaced with ‘ਪ੍ਰੇਮ’.

While learning how to say I will miss you in Punjabi, it’s important to notice that literal translation of this sentence may lead to confusion of the contextual meaning.

What the person is trying to say is to convey the feeling that he/she will remember the other person repeatedly.

One version of its translation might sound like this: ਮੈਂ ਤੁਹਾਨੂੰ ਯਾਦ ਕਰਾਂਗਾ, which may be translated as ‘I will remember you’.

The English sentence that we want to translate has a different meaning and needs to be understood properly.

So, while we translate this sentence in Punjabi language, it should read like this:

How do you say I will miss you in Punjabi

The above example is used when you have to convey the emotion to someone who is elder than you, higher in authority or you have to show respect to the person.

When you have to use it with somebody who is at your level or younger to you, you will need to consider the gender.

For female (informal)

I will miss you in Punjabi (female informal)

For male (informal)

I will miss you in Punjabi (male informal)
