لیڈی بگ
The English phrase ladybug is لیڈی بگ in Urdu.
Did you know?
- In Urdu, the word for 'lady' used in other contexts is خاتون, but when saying لیڈی بگ, the English word 'lady' is never translated to خاتون.
- There is no direct cultural equivalent in Urdu folklore for a 'lady' bringing good luck, unlike the English tradition.
- The word بگ in لیڈی بگ is a phonetic loan, but the native Urdu word for a general bug or insect is کیڑا, which has a completely different sound and root.
Examples in context
- پھول پر ایک لیڈی بگ ہے۔Phool par ek ladybug hai.There is a ladybug on the flower.
- کیا آپ نے لیڈی بگ دیکھی؟Kya aap ne ladybug dekhi?Did you see the ladybug?
