saala

What saala means

saala is written سالا in the Urdu script and means wife's brother in English. It is taught in the Meeting In-Laws lessons under In-Law Vocabulary.

You will also see it romanized as sala. Urdu has no single standard romanization; the script spelling is the same.

Note: Can be a slur out of context - neutral here.

Forms of saala

saala is masculine and ends in -a, so the -a becomes -e before a postposition such as se or mein (saale se) and in the plural (saale); the oblique plural ends in -on (saalon).

Gender is taken from the course word list. The postposition rule is explained on the postpositions page, and how gender works on the noun gender page.
