What is the meaning of a hindi word

Skip to content

Indians are known for our own set of peculiar words that are a part of our daily vocabulary. Remember that angrez friend who constantly asks you to translate your sentence? Well, usually, I am that angrez friend, so I took it upon myself to figure out the english meaning of Hindi words I hear way too often.

1. Ghanta

English Meaning of Hindi Words (Translation): Nothing

Ghanta Meaning: Originally, the term ghanta means either a bell or an hour. But the slang term loosely translates to doing absolutely nothing. I mean, what are we really doing with our lives? Ghanta.

2. Bhasad

Bhasad Meaning: Usually related to childish pranks and utter folly, the term comes into play out of frustration. Kya bhasad macha rakhi hai?

3. Jhand

4. Hing / Heeng

Hing Meaning: A powerful spice used in almost every Indian dish, Asafoetida is actually a gum that is extracted from the roots and stem of the Ferula species but is commonly sold in the powder form. So, don’t be surprised if you find this term in random recipes and can’t figure out what it means!

5. Gulchare

English to Hindi Word (Translation): Shameful Fun

Gulchare Meaning: Not a 100% legit translation but you get the point. A derogatory term used to define a woman who has fun on her own terms (in her love life in most cases because she’s a grown-ass lady).

9. Chichhora

Chichhora Meaning: Though Google translates this hindi term in english as Floopish – someone who is excessively obsessed with his appearance, the local slang does have a more perversive take on the word (Basically, Varun Dhawan’s character from Main Tera Hero).

10. Jhakaas

English Meaning of Hindi Words (Translation): fantastic

Jhakaas Meaning: Jhakaas is a Marathi word which made it to our everyday lingo. Remember, how the catchphrase “smokin’!” was replaced by jhakaas in the Hindi dubbed version of the movie, The Mask (1994). Hey girl, I just bought a jhakaas watch! (Isn’t this word just so cool!)

11. Yaar

English Meaning of Hindi Words (Translation): a friendly form of address

Yaar Meaning: There are so many words equivalent to a friend like “mate”, “dude” or “bro” but yaar has to be the most prevalent of them all. We can’t imagine talking to our friends without using the word yaar (just adds a personal touch). Additionally, arre yaar is also used to express anguish, while abey yaar conveys annoyance.

Before we get into the word meaning in Hindi for the 50 words we have selected, let’s also learn why English is so widely used in India. 

History 101

Many people in urban India, even those in tier 2 cities, don’t use Hindi exclusively even though they’ve studied it. They are unable to read the Devanagari script, and prefer to speak ‘Hinglish’ or simply English for their convenience, especially in professional settings. 

The issue of language became a top priority for the Indian Constituent Assembly in 1946. Since the British rule, English was in use for all official matters because the posts were primarily occupied by Englishmen. But when Indians assumed various government positions after independence, many found it difficult to speak in English.

Hence, along with English, the assembly declared Hindi and the Devanagari script to be official languages. But decades later, these language appear to be losing favor in everyday conversation.

We are moving towards English but we must not forget the beauty and convenience in communication that Hindi brings into our lives. Plus, being multilingual will only add to our profiles as we study both the languages deeply. There are so many words in Hindi that we may no longer use in our daily conversations but should know about.

2. It’s also easier to remember a word if you use it frequently. Using each lesser-known word in this article and revising its meaning in Hindi in your everyday conversations will make the process easier. 
3. The more you use these words in your Hindi speaking, the better it will get. Remember – practice makes perfect!

Hindi is an Indo-European language, meaning that many words come from the same root as English!

If you’re learning Hindi or simply looking to expand your vocabulary, you’ve come to the right place. In this article, we’ll provide you with a comprehensive list of frequently used Hindi words and phrases, along with their pronunciation and meaning in Hindi.

Learning the correct pronunciation of Hindi words is crucial for effective communication. That’s why we’ve included audio for each word, so you can hear how it’s supposed to be pronounced. We understand that understanding the meaning of words is just as important, so we’ve also provided the Hindi meaning of each word.

Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced Hindi speaker, this article is designed to help you improve your language skills. So, let’s get started and explore the world of Hindi pronunciation and meaning!

As an official language of India (next to Tamil, Marathi, Punjabi, Telugu and many others), Hindi is native to northern India and Pakistan (where the Hindustani language or dialect is called Urdu and written with an Arabic script rather than Hindi Devanagari alphabet.)

Obviously, learning Hindi takes a long time. You need to learn not just the Hindi alphabet and pronunciation, but all the grammar rules such as the different verb tenses, how to make an adjective agree with a noun and proper sentence structure.

But to get you started with the Hindi language, here are some basic Hindi vocabulary, expressions, words and phrases that are useful when going to parts of India.

The Importance Of Hindi

Whether it is spirituality, food, art, architecture or industry that has led you to want to learn Hindi, Hindi is a great language to speak and the learning process doesn’t have to be difficult.

Hindi is the most widely spoken language in India and derives from Sanskrit, written in the Devanagari script. Because of their similarities, learning how to speak Hindi will help you to speak Sanskrit, Urdu, Nepalese, Bengali, and Gujarati.

One other thing to remark is that Hindi is written from left to right, so that’s a good start too, right? At least this is something that English speakers are familiar with! It’s also fairly easy to read Hindi as words are generally written as they are pronounced because each character of the Hindi alphabet has a different sound.

First things first… make sure you practice those greetings and basic Hindi phrases!

Hindi Formal Registers

When we speak English, we have several registers in which we talk:

• the formal (used with persons of authority or strangers)
• the informal or colloquial (for friends and family).

In Hindi, there are many more subtleties to the formal and informal registers. There can be several versions of formal speak, depending on the rank of the person you are talking to (whether in terms of caste or just your boss), and their relationship with you. There are also several informal registers, variations from friendly to intimate.

This is hard for Hindi translators to convey. Words might appear as synonyms and have the same English translation, but belong to different levels of formality. There are many approaches to learning including immersion. You can read Hindi newspapers and improve your Hindi language skill.

Hindi Greetings and Salutations

1. Hello in Indian

Knowing how to say hello in Hindi is the bare minimum. The Hindi word for “hello” is namaste — literally, “I bow to you” — which they will. Though some Indians will shake hands, most bring their palms together in front of their chest, fingers up, and bow slightly. You can also say namaskaar or, as a respectful greeting to superiors or elders, pranaam. You can say these Hindi words of greeting at any time of day.

If you are speaking Urdu (a language with a lot of Persian and Arabic words), you will say assalaam-aleikum, “may God be with you”, a phrase that the Muslim people of Pakistan took from Arabic.

“Hi” is suno or suniye.

2. Goodbye

Knowing how to say goodbye in Hindi is super easy. When leaving, you might say namaste again, or phir milenge (”see you”). A casual “bye” is “alvida, whereas a more formal “farewell” is vidai.

3. Good morning!

Suprabhaat is the Indian greeting for «good morning».

4. Good evening!

5. Welcome!

When welcoming someone you know very well, use aaiye and padhariye!

When welcoming a stranger, use swagat.

6. Nice to meet you

7. How are you in Hindi

Saying «how are you«:

• To a man or a group of people: Aap kaise hain?
• To a woman or a group comprised only of women: Aap kaisi hain?

There are also casual ways to ask «how are you?» in Hindi, including:

8. I am fine

9. Who are you in Hindi / What is your name

Aap-kaa naam kyaa hai. (formal)

10. My name is…

My name is…
Meraa naam (insert name here) hain.

It is interesting to note that this sentence is not modified according to gender — it’s the same phrase whether it is spoken to a man or a woman.

11. See you (tomorrow)

12. What’s new?

13. Nothing much

Being polite in Basic Hindi

14. Please

Kripaya, used at the beginning of a sentence.

15. Thank you in Hindi

It is important to know how to say thank you in Hindi, and to be polite when you are in India. When you look in your English-Hindi dictionary for the Hindi translation of “thank you”, you will find dhanyavaad. However, it is important to note that this word is not used lightly in the Indian language.

Thanks for everyday things such as handing someone their Hindi dictionary or holding open the door are implied. The word “dhanyavaad” is frequently used for very big favours and almost never with family or intimate friends — whom you can inadvertently insult if you thank them!

16. You’re welcome (as a reply to “thank you”)

In case someone else has thanked you (no headache there), here are some ways you can say “You’re welcome”:

17. Excuse me, sorry

How do you say excuse me or «sorry» in Hindi?

Like many other aspects of the Hindi tongue, there are several registers for the expression “excuse me”, depending on the formality. This is one thing where Hindi to English translation dictionaries and apps often fail:

18. The forms of “you”

Some languages have a formal “you” and an informal “you” (English has lost its informal “you”).

Hindi has formal, informal and intimate. Knowing how intimate is intimate enough is difficult, however, so it’s better to err on the side of caution and use the informal with friends and family.

Depending on who you are addressing, you should use:

Register	To whom?	Word
Formal/respectful	Elders, superiors	Aap
Informal	Good acquaintances, friends	Tum
Intimate	Good friends and siblings, lovers	Tu

19. Mister, Mrs.

While you can use Mistar and Misez for Mr. and Mrs, the Indian designations are Sri and Srimati.

When addressing someone, adding -jee after their name is a sign of respect:

Mataa (mother) = mataa-jee
Pitaa (father) = pitaa-jee
Mina (girl’s name) = Mina-jee

Getting around in Hindi: Buying and Getting Places

Hopefully, if you get the chance to learn Hindi with a holiday, you will also be doing some shopping — and hopefully more than just at the pharmacy! Here are some simple phrases you might need in shops (and to help you get there!) Rather than have to translate English to the Hindi language on an app on your phone, try to pick up the basics first.

20. How much is this?

Not everything is priced in the shops, so you need to know this important phrase:

21. I like this

When presented with several options in a shop (the red or the blue saree?) you should use these Hindi phrases:

22. I am hungry/thirsty

When on your shopping spree, if you ever feel peckish (or thirsty) and want to go get something to eat, say:

23. Right and left and middle

When searching for the perfect gift, you might need some Indian-language directions to get to the right place:

24. Means of transportation

And of course, you need to know how to get there! Here’s how to translate words for modes of transportation:

Other Useful Hindi Phrases for English Speakers

Of course, dictionaries are useful, and you shouldn’t visit India without a Hindi — English dictionary in your pack or loaded onto your phone.

But words are one thing, intelligible sentences are something else. It’s not enough to simply translate English to Hindi word for word — the sentences need to be grammatically correct, and adapted to the status of the person you are talking to… And while translation software is getting better and better, it’s still not the same as having a human Hindi translator — or learning to speak Hindi yourself.

Here are some ready-to-use Indic phrases to help you out when travelling on the Indian subcontinent.

25. I’m not feeling well.

This sentence is important if you are feeling ill and need to lie down or get to a doctor.

26. Can you help me?

If you are among strangers, you need to know how to ask for help without an English dictionary:

Kya aap meri madad kar sakte hain?

Or, in an urgent situation, just “help”:

27. Words for “doctor” and “police”

The translations from English to Hindi are easy in this case, as the words are taken from English:

28. Do you speak English?

While many language courses like to teach you “Do you speak Hindi?” as one of the first phrases in a new language, learning how to say “do you speak English” is much more useful for a beginner Hindi speaker.

Kya ap angrezi bolte/bolti (m/f) hai?

29. I don’t speak Hindi

You might sometimes be addressed by people who want to help or just sell you something. Either way, you should tell them this:

Mujhe hindi nahi ati hai . (I don’t speak Hindi.)

30. I don’t understand.

Being an intermediate student in a language can be frustrating. You know more than a few basic phrases, your vocabulary is fine for everyday situations, but you still often find yourself reaching for your Hindi dictionary to read signs; when talking to people, you will be using an English translator app for some phrases; when listening, use this sentence a lot:

Mai samjha/samjhi nahi.

31. Talk more slowly

Sometimes the problem is not so much that the person is using new words you don’t know, but that you can’t tell because they are talking so fast your brain can’t catch get it all translated to English by the time they’ve finished the sentence. You ask ask them so speak more slowly:

Dhire dhire boliye.

32. What does it mean? How do you say it?

Of course, everyone appreciates it when someone makes an effort in learning their language. Since many Hindi speak fair to good English, you can try asking these questions and you’l have a good chance of understanding the answer:

One Last Lesson From Us: Learning Hindi Numbers!

As well as learning Hindi and Indian greetings, and some simple Hindi phrases and words, numbers can be very useful, too. When confronted with Hindi vocabulary, one thing that seems to stump a lot of people are the Hindi numbers. Hindi uses a decimal system, and as long as you are counting from one to ten it’s literally a simple matter of memory and logic.

After that, they function along the principles of prefix (unit) + suffix (decimal). Thus, pentsadh is 65, chavti is 34.

Numeral	Word	Prefix	Decimal suffix	Decimal name (20, 30, 40)
1	ek	ik-	-ah	das
2	do	ba-	-bis	bees
3	tin	te- or ti-	-tis	tis
4	char	chav-	-lis	chalis
5	panch	pent-	-an	pachas
6	cheh	chiya-	-sadh	saadh
7	saat	sata-	-hatar	sattar
8	aath	adha-	-asi	assi
9	nao	un- (-1) + the suffix of the next decimal up (unnasi = 80-1 = 79	-ave	nabbe
10	das			ek sau

Historically, these great British Isles, where I live, have a habit of being invaded. (Although, thankfully, not for some time.)

The upside to this, of course, along with nice straight roads built by the Romans, is that the English language is a rich and colourful blend of Latin words, Anglo Saxon words and French words.

But that’s not all. The Brits, of course, love to “visit” other countries – whether we’re invited or not. And during the era of British rule in India (1612 – 1947) numerous words of Indian origin entered the English language.

These Indian words came from a variety of languages including Hindi, Urdu, Punajabi, Gujarati, Bengali, Marathi, Kashmir, Sindhi, and the sacred, ancient language Sanskrit.

And today, over 700 words in the Oxford English dictionary have Indian origin. Here are just a few of them:

Bandanna: From the Hindi word Bandhana meaning to tie.

Bangle: From the Hindi word Bangri meaning glass bracelet.

Bungalow: From the Hindi word Banla meaning “house in the Bengal style” or single story house.

Chit: From the Hindi word Chitthi meaning a slip of paper (used instead of money).

Cot: From the Hindi word Khat meaning portable bed, couch or hammock.

Cummerbund: From the Urdu word Kamar-band meaning waistband.

Cushy: From: the Hindi word Khush meaning happy, easy, pleasant.

Doolally: From the town of Deolali, the location of an army base and sanatorium where soldiers leaving India in the late 19th century were sent before leaving for home. Those that became mentally deranged after contacting a fever, or Tap in Urdu, were said to have gone Doolally Tap.

Guru: A Hindi word meaning spiritual leader or guide, teacher instructor. From the Sanskrit words Guruh meaning weighty, heavy, grave.

Khaki: An Urdu word meaning dusty or dust coloured.

Pundit: From the Hindi word Pandit meaning a learned man. From the Sanskrit word Panditah meaning learned scholar.

Pukka: From the Hindi words Pakka meaning cooked, solid, substantial.

Pyjamas or Pajamas: From the Urdu word payjamah meaning leg garment.

Shampoo: From the Hindi word Champo, meaning to press and massage. 

Thug: From the Hindi word Thag meaning a thief or conman and the Sanskirt word Sthaga meaning robber.

Yoga: A Sanskrit word for the union of mind, body and spirit.
