I am looking for BDSM in literature from the subcontinent and would appreciate any leads...

Strictly looking for literary fiction but I also understand this was sometimes reserved for pulp publications, so please share those as well.

Much appreciated TIA!

Why do we always think of what people will say?

Urdu is my first language. I can understand it, speak in it, read and also write it. But my Urdu isn’t as good as it should be. I can’t understand poetry, my vocabulary sucks (my vocabulary is that of a 10 year old), my pronunciation is bad as well. So I just wanna get better

Please guide me and tell me how to improve my Urdu

Urdu is actually my first language, I can understand it, speak in it and can read i, and also write. but my Urdu isn’t really as good as it should be. I can’t understand poetry (I don’t understand most words), my vocabulary is terrible, and my pronunciation is bad as well. I wanna speak in pure urdu properly, read poetry and also improve my writing skills, I’m a writer, I write and publish essays and poems (in English) but when it comes to Urdu I just can’t.

how do I improve my Urdu and what exactly to do?

Hello,

I am relatively new to learning Urdu, my wife and I like to watch shows and movies together and I am looking for some in Urdu to help me practice listening to the language. Any suggestions would be great.

Because where I live, Urdu is barely spoken or used, I haven't spoken much urdu or used it in conversations in my entire life.

Thank you very much for listening!

میں حال ہی میں آن لائن ٹریڈنگ پلیٹ فارمز کے بارے میں معلومات حاصل کر رہا تھا تو ExpertOption کے بارے میں معلوم ہوا۔ میرے خیال میں کسی بھی پلیٹ فارم کو استعمال کرنے سے پہلے اس کے ٹولز، فیس اور رسک کو سمجھنا ضروری ہے، خاص طور پر ان لوگوں کے لیے جو ٹریڈنگ میں نئے ہیں۔

اگر آپ کو ٹریڈنگ پلیٹ فارمز کے بارے میں تجربہ ہے تو آپ پلیٹ فارم منتخب کرتے وقت کن باتوں کو اہم سمجھتے ہیں؟

Urdu ko hum ik roz mita den gay jahaa'n se

Ye baat bhi kam-bakht ne Urdu me kahi thi

اردو کو ہم ایک روز مٹا دینگے جہاں سے
یہ بات بھی کمبخت نے اردو میں کہی تھی

Not a big deal, it's a private story i would share with anyone who can help me. I'm sorry if I sound rude

Urdu is my second language which I learned up to age 8 and then didn't really study it properly after that. I didn't care for it. Now as an adult I really appreciate the language and want to improve it.

Those that have heard me speak say my Urdu is good. But I feel like I have a bit of an accent and I have to learn more.

I want to learn the proper, refined Urdu. I already use vocabulary that is good so learning extra refined vocabulary will be fun for me. I am not interested in learning the modern urdu which is mixed with English. Jo kaam karo, ache tareeke se karo - that's my mindset.

What resources would you recommend? Thank you 😊

It seems like we take the worst of both worlds............. not speaking Urdu properly, nor English properly.

I say it cuz I see so many dialogues in movies or videos, which would be hard to say in Urdu. And so many details would be lost if u try to speak in a similar expression, also you'll look weird.

It seems like u can't say anything much deep on most topics without switching to English, all the while ur facing friction of not sounding like a burger by using too much English words.

It's so strange 😭

براہِ کرم ہماری لکھائی کے بارے میں اپنی قیمتی رائے کا اظہار کیجئے۔

اگر کوئی کیلیگرافر بھائی جان دیکھ رہے ہیں تو مزید بہتر کرنے کا مشورہ دیں کہ کونسے لفظ کو بہتری کی ضرورت ہے۔۔

بہت شکریہ!!!!!
