  7.1 Oblique for Destinations  

Destinations (objects of verbs of motion) must be in the oblique case, but they do not require a postpostion.

وہ میرے کمرے میں جا رہا ہے۔

"He is going to my room."

وہ بڑے بازار جانا چاہتی ہے

"She wants to go to the big bazaar." (Note that بازار can't change in oblique, but its adjective does!)

میرے گھر آئیّے۔

"Come to my house."

 

Note : all adverbs and adverbial phrases in Urdu must be in the oblique case, whether or not they have a postpostion. What are adverbs and adverbial phrases? They answer the questions we can ask about verbs: Where? How? When?
