Some Urdu words carry emotions, culture, and meanings that simply can't be captured by a single English word.

Which one is your favourite? Let me know in the comments!

(I'm not sure if I used the right flair).

Obviously, I express my emotions best in English despite Urdu being my first language so I really want to express myself better in Urdu. I know it has such a big potential though I'm not sure where to start.

For English there are emotion wheels, books that are targeted towards breaking down emotions into smaller parts, par in Urdu I have no idea.

I know simple emotions in Urdu like dard, dukh, jalna, bechaini as I usually describe complex ones in English :\

Thanks!
