| Please translate this in Urdu - Please translate this in Urdu. Ain\'t no sunshine when he\'s gone. And this house just ain\'t no home. Thanks Sonia | |

| - Do you want a literal translation or a figurative one? Literal translation:- translates word for word, but meaning is lost. Figurative translation:- translates the meaning of the phrase, but not necessarily using the same words. | |

| - \"Ain\'t o sunshine when he\'s not home.\" shows that the house \"seems empty\" or \"people feel lonely\" without him. So it will translate to... [i]Uss/Un ke bagair ghar suna suna lagta hai[/i] Un is more respectful than uss. \"And this house just ain\'t no home.\" shows dissatsifaction with ones living environment. In Urdu ther is only one word for both \"House\" and \"Home\" - Ghar. Therefore there are many ways to say this. [i]Yeh ghar ghar nahi hai[/i] \"This house isnt a house.\" [i]Yeh ghar ghar nahi lagta[/i] This house doesnt feel like a house. There are many more ways to show dissatisfaction with living environment, but this should get you around :D | |

| - You\'re welcome. Sure here it is: This will get you around. [i]Iss se aap ka guzara ho jaye ga.[/i] It sounds pretty natural so you use it whenever you want. | |

| - Karwata has no specific english counterpart. It just means to \"make someone do\" something. Its price always changes. - Is the correct English phrase. | |
