Checking for preparedness
خلفية ثقافية
In Pakistani households, 'Tayyari' (preparation) for guests is a major event. Asking 'Kya sab tayyar hai?' is a signal to bring out the best crockery. During festivals like Eid or Diwali, this phrase is used to coordinate the distribution of sweets (Mithai) to neighbors. In modern offices in Karachi or Lahore, this phrase is often followed by 'Let's go' or 'Start karte hain', showing the blend of Urdu and English. The most intense use of this phrase is minutes before Iftar (breaking the fast). It is a high-stakes question to ensure no one misses the timing.
The Intonation Trick
You can drop the 'Kya' and just say 'Sab tayyar hai?' with a rising tone at the end. It sounds very native and casual.
Don't over-pluralize
Even if you are talking to 10 people, 'Sab tayyar hai?' (singular) is usually more natural than 'Sab tayyar hain?' (plural).
