Bedeutung
To recall or learn by heart.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In Pakistani culture, 'Yaad karna' is a common way to start a conversation with someone you haven't spoken to in a while. It signals that they are important to you. In the 'Tehzeeb' (etiquette) of Lucknow or Delhi, 'Yaad farmana' is used to show extreme humility when someone of higher status contacts you. The concept of 'Zikr' (remembrance of God) is often translated or explained using 'Yaad karna'. It is seen as a spiritual exercise for the heart. Almost every romantic song uses 'Yaad' as a central theme. It is the standard vocabulary for the 'pain of separation'.
The 'Missing' Trick
Whenever you want to say 'I miss you' in Urdu, just think 'I am remembering you' and use 'Yaad karna'.
Don't forget the 'ko'!
If you're remembering a person, 'ko' is your best friend. Without it, the sentence sounds broken.
