کو + معلوم / پتا ہونا

Knowing a Fact

Level 2

Describe someone’s knowledge, not acquaintance with a person.

How It Works

The person uses مجھے, ہمیں or a noun phrase with کو. Do not choose ہوں solely because the English translation starts with I.

Negation denies having the information: مجھے معلوم نہیں. Use this when the person does not have the information.

For acquaintance with a person, use a suitable form of جاننا. These معلوم/پتا frames are useful for facts, locations and other information.

مجھے پتا ہے کہ چابی کہاں ہے۔
I know where the key is.
The following clause identifies the information.
بلال کو معلوم ہے کہ دکان کب کھلے گی۔
Bilal knows when the shop will open.
The embedded question concerns a future time.
ہمیں پتا نہیں کہ وہ کہاں گئے۔
We do not know where they went.
Negation applies to the knowledge claim.
کیا آپ کو معلوم ہے کہ یہ راستہ کہاں جاتا ہے؟
Do you know where this route leads?
The question asks whether the listener has the information.
