Internet & WiFi

   wa-i fa-i pas-vard kya hai?

   What is the Wi-Fi password?

   Usage

   Used at hotels or cafes to ask for the Wi-Fi password

   Grammar Note

   Urdu often uses English tech terms directly. "Kya hai" creates a "what is it?" question. Pakistani cities generally have good Wi-Fi infrastructure in hotels and cafes

2. موبائل ڈیٹا کتنا ہے؟

   mo-ba-il de-ta kit-na hai?

   How much is mobile data?

   mo-ba-il charj ho sak-ta hai?

   Can the phone be charged?

   Usage

   Used to ask if you can charge your phone at a cafe or hotel

   in-tar-net sust hai

   The internet is slow

   Usage

   Used to report that the internet connection is slow

   "Sust" means both "slow" and "lazy." Opposite of "tez" (fast). "Internet kaam nahi kar raha" (the internet isn't working) is a direct way to report total outage

   Usage
