👤 Pronouns
I, you, he/she - and the three "you" registers.
The personal pronouns
Urdu has six core personal pronouns. There is no separate he/she - yeh and woh do double duty as both demonstratives and 3rd-person pronouns.
Three "you"s - pick wisely
tu (تو) is intimate - used with God, very young children, or insults. This app teaches only tum and aap. Use aap with elders, in-laws, strangers, and at work. Use tum with siblings, peers, and close friends.
aap is plural-grammatically
Even when aap refers to one person, the verb takes plural conjugation: "aap kaise hain?" (not hai). This is the politeness signal.
