لمبا سفر

Yes, figuratively. You can say 'Is kitab کو پڑھنا ایک لمبا سفر تھا' (Reading this book was a long journey).

Yes! The English word 'Safari' comes from the Swahili 'safari', which was borrowed from the Arabic 'safar'.

This happens when a preposition like 'par' (on) or 'ke' (of) follows the phrase. It's a grammar rule called the 'oblique case'.

It is neutral. You can use it with your boss, your grandmother, or a stranger.

The opposite is 'Mukhtasar Safar' (Short journey) or 'Chota Safar'.

No. For a tall person, you just use 'Lamba' (e.g., Lamba admi). 'Safar' must be involved for the phrase.

You say: 'Mein ek lambe safar par hoon.'

'Taveel' is more formal and literary. 'Lamba' is more common in daily conversation.

Yes, it's a common way to describe a movie that felt like an epic or was simply too long.

Not necessarily. It can imply exhaustion or a struggle, depending on your tone.

That is a very formal/religious term for the 'Final Journey' (death).

If the walk was significant (like a hike), yes. For a stroll, it's too dramatic.
