Etymology
[edit]From Arabic فَم (fam) through فُمّ (fumm) and then dissimilated ثُمّ (ṯumm).
Pronunciation
[edit]Noun
[edit]تم • (tumm, temm) m (plural تمام (tmām))
Urdu
[edit]Etymology
[edit]Inherited from Sauraseni Apabhramsa तुम्हि (tumhi), from Sauraseni Prakrit 𑀢𑀼𑀫𑁆𑀳𑁂 (tumhe), from Sanskrit युष्मान् (yuṣmān, acc. pl.) adopting the initial sounds of त्वम् (tvám, nom. sg.).
Pronunciation
[edit]- (Standard Urdu) IPA(key): /t̪ʊm/
Pronoun
[edit]تُم • (tum) (Hindi spelling तुम)
- (semiformal, familiar) second-person subjective or objective personal pronoun, grammatically plural: you, ye; Early Modern English ye.
- کیا تم مجھ سے محبت کرتی ہو؟ ― kyā tum mujh-se mohabbat kartī ho? ― Do you love me?
- تم جیسے لوگوں کی ہی ضرورت ہے یہاں۔
- tum jaise logõ kī hī zarūrat hai yahā̃.
- People like you are needed here.
Usage notes
[edit]- تم is the mid level formal way of expressing "you" in Urdu and is used when addressing those of equal social status or those one has a close enough relationship with to justify the reduced formality. Because the less formal forms could offend others, آپ (āp) is the safest way to express "you" unless there is reason to be less formal.
- Because تم is grammatically plural (adjectives and verbs etc affected by it take their plural forms) even when there is only one person being referred to, the term تم لوگ (literally: you people) can be used to specify that more than one person is being referred to.
Determiner
[edit]تُم • (tum) (Hindi spelling तुम)
- The individual or group spoken or written to; you, ye, Early Modern English ye.
- تم احمق کوئی کام کے نہیں ہو۔
- tum ahmaq ko'ī kām ke nahī̃ ho.
- You idiots are of no use.
