How can we differentiate and use between similar pronounced Urdu alphabets like seen/swad, zyad/ze etc?

Answer 1

Since they sound similar, spelling correctly in Urdu relies on memorization, context, and etymology (word origin) rather than pronunciation alone.

1. س (Seen) vs. ص (Swād)

1. س is used in most common Urdu and Persian-origin words.
2. Example: سلام (salām), سبق (sabaq)
3. ص is usually used in Arabic-origin words.
4. Example: صبر (sabr), صورت (soorat)

Answer 2

Sen's voice comes out with a thin and whistling sound.

While Suad, which is pronounced as Pur and Mu Ta( can say fat in layman language), means that its sound is heavier than Sen's sound.

Answer 3

you just see like English word you have got to find out it. rather like we've got to find out words like C is silent in this word" Miscellaneous muscle"

Answer 4

This is just like English you have to learn it. Just like we have to learn words starting with K, C, etc Not forgetting silent letters like Knife,
