- The word میں for 'I' evolved from the Sanskrit mayā, which functioned as an instrumental case meaning 'by me' or 'through me' rather than just a simple subject.
- While many languages use different words for 'will' and 'want', in Urdu, the same grammatical structure can sometimes blend a person's intention with a future certainty.
- If a female speaker says 'I will' as میں کروں گی, the change in the final vowel affects the agreement of other adjectives or verbs that follow in the sentence.
