"kaysay ho” or “kaysee ho”


There are two ways Asking someone
"how are you" in Urdu
for masculine "kaysay ho" and for feminine "kaysee ho". Both reflect same meaning and sense..

If seeking someone’s health welfare specifically (which usually for known person), then it is asked in Urdu "kaysee tabiat hay" in general style it is asked like "AAp kaysay hain(for masculine) and “Aap Kaysee hain" (for feminine)

If a doctor/someone is asking it to a patient, in Urdu, it would be asked
"ab Aap key tabyat kaysee hay"

note:

It is very important to understand and maintain the appropriate language tone, it should be recognize that target translation reflects polite and appropriate values of culture properly. Therefore, the translator need to understand the English content and the style first, and then translate it in such tone within the framework of the particular language/culture. ………………………………… Cheer's.
