مجھے تم پسند ہو
mujhe tum pasand hoeveryday
In Urdu you say "I like you" as مجھے تم پسند ہو (mujhe tum pasand ho). A softer, friendly version is تم مجھے اچھے لگتے ہو (tum mujhe achhe lagte ho), literally "you seem good to me". It is also called تم مجھے اچھی لگتی ہو (tum mujhe achhī lagtī ho).
Meaning: saying you like someone (phrase)
Ways to say it
| Pakistan | Romanization | Note |
|---|---|---|
| مجھے تم پسند ہو | mujhe tum pasand ho | everyday |
| تم مجھے اچھے لگتے ہو | tum mujhe achhe lagte ho | to a man |
| تم مجھے اچھی لگتی ہو | tum mujhe achhī lagtī ho | to a woman |
Is there a formal and an informal way to say it?
Use آپ (āp) for someone you must respect: آپ مجھے پسند ہیں (āp mujhe pasand haiñ). In Pakistan a romantic "I like you" can be a serious thing to say, so be careful with whom you use it.
How does it change in a sentence?
Urdu has no verb "to like" like English. The thing liked is the subject, and the liker takes مجھے (mujhe), "to me". The second form changes for the person addressed: اچھے لگتے ہو (achhe lagte ho) for a man and اچھی لگتی ہو (achhī lagtī ho) for a woman.
Did you know?
- پسند (pasand) comes from Persian and is the everyday Urdu word for "liking" something, from food to people.
