The Urdu Formality Level Checker reads Urdu text and reports its politeness register based on which second-person forms it uses. Choosing the right level of address is central to courteous Urdu, and this tool makes the choice visible at a glance.
How it works
Urdu marks formality through both pronouns and the verb endings that agree with them:
آپ formal verbs end in ـیں / ـیے / ـیجیے (respectful imperative)
تم familiar verbs end in ـو (e.g. کرو, جاؤ)
تو intimate verbs end in ـے / ـو singular (e.g. کر, جا)The tool counts each pronoun and the endings associated with it, then reports the dominant register by weighted total. When meaningful counts appear for more than one level, it warns that the text mixes registers, which usually reads as inconsistent.
Tips and notes
Keep a message in a single register unless you are deliberately quoting someone who would speak differently. For business and unfamiliar recipients, prefer آپ throughout; for close friends, تم is natural. The intimate تو is reserved for very close relationships, poetry, or prayer, and can sound abrupt or disrespectful if used with the wrong person. Because the checker keys off surface forms, a passage with little second-person content may return an inconclusive result, which simply means there is not enough signal to judge.
