Ink means Rash-na-i (رَوشنائی)
where as siyahi (سیاہی) means blackish or may refer to black ink only..

Other common mistake most of us do is;
writing کیلے instead of کے لۓ
same wise اسلۓ instead of اس لۓ
which is wrong, there are no concept of joint words in urdu.





P.S For better view zoom-in in the Browser. And some words are contributed by members as well. Thanks!

Nice initiative Aakash,

"Araab lgaiye " question was the one I hated the most in urdu subject. My thumb was to select the opposite of what I use.
