Urdu term or phrase: ker
The phrase is "kuchh ker yar". I think this is "(you're) a little ---, buddy/friend"...but unfortunately I don't know what the middle word means. Any help would be appreciated!

Do / Act :'do something mate'


Explanation:
My colleague is spot on, the word 'ker' as you've asked, pronounced as 'karr' means to do or to act.
In this sentence, this is an informal way of asking someone to do something or take action on something.

In this sentence 'kuch' means : some (in this case something)
'Ker' means : do
'yaar' means : mate/friend

So translated: 'do something mate'
(don't think you'll be needing this but): written in Urdu: کچھ کر یار

there are so many examples for 'ker' if only i had more time.....
hope this helps.
