Looking for practical Amharic (አማርኛ) to Urdu (اردو) phrases? This free guide lists 100 essential sentences for travel, study, work, and everyday conversation. Each line shows the Amharic phrase first, then the Urdu translation (اردو) — so you can scan quickly before a trip, class, or video call.
The phrases are grouped into eight topics: greetings and pleasantries, useful phrases for travellers, everyday conversation, directions and getting around, shopping and dining, emergencies and health, work and business, and time, days and numbers. Use the table of contents to jump straight to greetings, directions, dining, emergencies, or numbers. You do not need perfect grammar to start — short, clear sentences often work better than silence when you are learning Urdu.
Tip: when a Urdu phrase looks unfamiliar, compare it with the Amharic wording — noticing word order differences helps you understand grammar naturally.
