Meaning: I miss you (phrase)
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase literally translates to 'To me your memory comes' or 'Your memory comes to me'.
How does it change in a sentence?
To express 'I miss you' to an elder or in a formal setting, replace the informal pronoun 'تنهنجي' with the polite 'توهان جي' to get مون کي توهان جي ياد اچي ٿي. To say 'I miss him/her', replace the second person pronoun with 'هن جي' to get مون کي هن جي ياد اچي ٿي. Finally, changing the verb ending from 'اچي ٿي' to 'اچي وئي' changes the phrase to the past tense 'I missed you', written as مون کي تنهنجي ياد اچي وئي.
