खर्च

kharch الأكثر شيوعاً #1,500

At the A1 level, 'kharch' is introduced as a basic noun related to money. Students learn it primarily in the context of 'kharch karna' (to spend). The focus is on simple sentences like 'I spend money' or 'How much money?'. At this stage, learners should simply recognize that 'kharch' is masculine and usually follows the word 'paise' (money). It's a vital word for survival Hindi, especially for shopping and basic needs. You don't need to worry about complex grammar; just remember 'Kharch' + 'Karna'.

At the A2 level, learners begin to use 'kharch' in more varied contexts, such as 'jeb kharch' (pocket money) or 'ghar ka kharch' (household expenses). You start to distinguish between 'kharch karna' (active) and 'kharch hona' (passive). You also learn to use adjectives like 'bahut' (much) or 'kam' (less) with it. This level involves talking about your daily routine and budgeting, making 'kharch' a central vocabulary item for describing your life in Hindi-speaking environments.

At the B1 level, you should be comfortable using 'kharch' in the plural form 'kharche' to discuss various types of expenses. You will also encounter the adjective 'kharchila' (expensive/extravagant). You start to understand idioms like 'hath khula hona' (to be generous/spendthrift). You can discuss topics like saving money vs. spending money and explain your financial choices using 'kharch' in more complex sentence structures involving conjunctions like 'kyunki' (because) and 'isliye' (therefore).

At the B2 level, 'kharch' is used in more abstract and professional contexts. You might discuss 'sarkari kharch' (government spending) or 'vakt ka kharch' (spending of time). You are expected to use the word with postpositions correctly, changing 'kharche' to 'kharchon' in the oblique case. You can participate in debates about consumerism and the economy, using 'kharch' as a springboard to discuss broader financial trends and personal philosophies on wealth.

At the C1 level, you use 'kharch' with nuance, often opting for its formal synonym 'vyay' in academic or professional writing. You understand the subtle difference between 'kharch' (general spending), 'lagat' (cost of production), and 'nivesh' (investment). You can use 'kharch' in literary contexts, perhaps in poetry or high-level prose, to describe the 'spending' of a life or the 'expenditure' of emotions. Your grammar is flawless, and you can manipulate the word in complex passive and causative constructions.

At the C2 level, your mastery of 'kharch' is native-like. You understand all its idiomatic uses, historical etymology from Persian, and its role in various Hindi dialects. You can analyze economic policies or philosophical texts where 'kharch' might be used metaphorically. You can switch effortlessly between colloquial 'kharch' and formal 'vyay' depending on the audience. You also recognize archaic or regional variations and can use the word to convey subtle irony or social commentary.

खर्च في 30 ثانية

Kharch means expense or spending in Hindi.
It is a masculine noun used with 'karna' (to spend).
It differs from 'keemat' (price) which is the tag price.
Commonly heard in 'jeb kharch' (pocket money) and 'ghar ka kharch'.

The Hindi word खर्च (Kharch) is a foundational noun that every learner must master early in their journey. At its core, it refers to the act of spending money, resources, or time, as well as the actual amount spent. Derived from the Persian word 'kharch,' it has become so deeply integrated into Hindi that it is used in almost every financial context, from buying a loaf of bread to discussing a national budget. Understanding 'kharch' is not just about vocabulary; it is about understanding the daily rhythm of life in India, where budgeting and managing expenses are central themes of conversation.

Grammatical Gender: Masculine. This means you use masculine adjectives like 'bahut kharch' (much expense) or 'zyada kharch' (more expense).
Common Verb Pairings: It is most frequently used with the light verbs 'karna' (to do/to spend) and 'hona' (to be/to be spent). For example, 'paise kharch karna' means to spend money.

इस महीने मेरा खर्च बहुत बढ़ गया है। (Is mahine mera kharch bahut badh gaya hai.) - My expenses have increased a lot this month.

When people use 'kharch,' they are often referring to the 'outflow' of something. While usually financial, it can also apply to energy or effort in more literary or formal contexts. In a typical Indian household, you will hear 'ghar ka kharch' (household expenses) discussed frequently. It covers everything from groceries (rashan) to electricity bills (bijli ka bill). The word carries a sense of necessity but can also imply wastefulness if preceded by the word 'faltu' (useless/extra), as in 'faltu kharch.'

शादी में बहुत खर्च होता है। (Shaadi mein bahut kharch hota hai.) - A lot of money is spent in weddings.

Nuance: Kharch vs. Vyay: 'Kharch' is the everyday, colloquial term. 'Vyay' is the formal, Sanskritized version used in news reports or academic texts.

In modern urban slang, 'kharch' can sometimes be used to describe someone being 'finished' or 'done for,' though this is highly informal and context-dependent. However, for a learner at the A2 level, focusing on the financial aspect is most beneficial. Whether you are bargaining at a market in Delhi or discussing your travel budget with a friend, 'kharch' will be your go-to word for all things related to spending.

Using खर्च (Kharch) correctly requires understanding its relationship with verbs. Since it is a noun, it doesn't change its form to indicate action; instead, it relies on 'karna' (to do) for active spending and 'hona' (to happen) for passive spending. This distinction is vital for sounding natural in Hindi.

क्या आप कम खर्च कर सकते हैं? (Kya aap kam kharch kar sakte hain?) - Can you spend less?

When you want to say 'I spent money,' you say 'Maine paise kharch kiye.' Here, 'kharch' is the object, and 'kiye' is the past tense of 'karna,' agreeing with the masculine plural 'paise.' If you want to say 'The money was spent,' you say 'Paise kharch ho gaye.' The latter is very common when you want to imply that the money just disappeared or was used up without necessarily blaming someone.

Possessive Usage: Since 'kharch' is masculine, use 'ka' or 'mera'. Example: 'Mera kharch' (My expense), 'Ghar ka kharch' (House expense).

In negative sentences, 'kharch' often appears with 'mat' (for commands) or 'nahin' (for statements). 'Paise kharch mat karo!' (Don't spend money!). This is a common phrase parents say to children. You can also quantify 'kharch' using words like 'thoda' (a little), 'bahut' (a lot), or 'zyada' (too much).

आज मेरा बहुत खर्च हो गया। (Aaj mera bahut kharch ho gaya.) - I spent a lot today (literally: My lot of expense happened today).

For more advanced usage, you can talk about 'kharch uthana,' which means 'to bear the expenses.' This is used when talking about sponsorships, parents paying for education, or a company covering travel costs. 'Company mera kharch uthayegi' (The company will bear my expenses).

You will encounter खर्च (Kharch) in a variety of real-world settings. In a bustling Indian marketplace (bazaar), you'll hear shoppers calculating their 'kharch' or complaining about the 'mehangai' (inflation) increasing their daily 'kharch.' It is a word of the streets as much as it is a word of the household.

जेब खर्च (Jeb kharch) - Pocket money.

In offices, managers discuss 'office ke kharche' (office expenses) or 'travel kharch' (travel allowance). In news broadcasts, you will hear about 'sarkari kharch' (government expenditure) when the budget is announced. The word is ubiquitous because financial management is a core part of the cultural fabric.

Daily Conversations: 'Kitna kharch hua?' (How much was spent?) is perhaps the most common question you'll hear after someone returns from a trip or a shopping spree.

In Bollywood movies, you'll often hear characters talking about 'kharch' in the context of lavish weddings or a hero struggling to meet 'ghar ke kharche.' It's a word that bridges the gap between the rich and the poor, as everyone has 'kharch' to manage. Even in spiritual or philosophical discourses, gurus might talk about 'shakti ka kharch' (expenditure of energy/power), urging followers not to waste their inner resources.

One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is confusing खर्च (Kharch) with कीमत (Keemat). While 'cost' in English can cover both the price of an item and the act of spending, Hindi makes a sharp distinction. 'Keemat' is the price tag; 'Kharch' is the money that leaves your pocket.

Gender Errors: Many learners mistakenly treat 'kharch' as feminine because it ends in a consonant that sounds 'soft' to them. Remember: It is 'Mera kharch' (masculine), NOT 'Meri kharch'.

Incorrect: यह मोबाइल बहुत खर्च है। (This mobile is very expense.)
Correct: इस मोबाइल की कीमत बहुत है। (The price of this mobile is high.)

Another mistake is using 'kharch' as a verb directly. You cannot say 'Maine paise kharcha.' You must use the helper verb: 'Maine paise kharch kiye.' Without the helper verb, the sentence is incomplete and grammatically incorrect.

Finally, learners often forget the oblique case. When followed by a postposition like 'mein' or 'se,' 'kharch' remains 'kharch,' but the plural 'kharche' becomes 'kharchon.' Example: 'Faltu kharchon se bacho' (Avoid useless expenses).

While खर्च (Kharch) is the most common word, Hindi offers several synonyms depending on the formality and context of the situation. Knowing these will help you move from A2 to B1 and beyond.

व्यय (Vyay): This is the formal Sanskrit synonym. You will see this in bank statements, government reports, and textbooks. It is rarely used in casual conversation.
लागत (Lagat): This means 'cost of production' or 'investment cost.' If you are building a house, the 'lagat' is the total money put into it.
भुगतान (Bhugtan): This means 'payment.' While 'kharch' is the amount spent, 'bhugtan' is the act of paying it.

शिक्षा पर व्यय बढ़ाना चाहिए। (Expenditure on education should be increased.) - Formal usage.

If you want to describe someone who spends too much, you can use the adjective 'Kharchila' (extravagant/expensive). For example, 'Woh bahut kharchila ladka hai' (He is a very extravagant boy). Conversely, if something is 'expensive,' you usually use 'Mehanga,' but you can say 'Ismein bahut kharch hai' to imply it involves a lot of expenditure.
