Noun + تک

Up to or Until

Level 1

Ask what boundary the phrase names: a place, time or limit.

How It Works

پل تک چلیے means walk up to the bridge. پل is the endpoint.

دکان شام تک کھلی ہے means the shop is open until evening. شام تک gives the time limit.

اس دروازے تک means up to this door. دروازہ becomes oblique دروازے before تک.

Use تک for the end of a range and سے for its starting point.

    Walk up to the bridge.

    تک marks the endpoint; چلیے is a respectful instruction.

  2. دکان شام تک کھلی ہے۔

    The shop is open until evening.

    تک marks the time limit; کھلی describes feminine دکان.

  3. اس دروازے تک جائیے۔

    The noun phrase before تک names the endpoint.
