हमें और अधिक मेहनत करनी होगी।
hamein aur adhik mehnat karni hogi.
We will have to work harder.
Bedeutung
Emphasizes the necessity of putting in greater effort to achieve a goal.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In cities like Delhi and Gurgaon, this phrase is often used in 'Hinglish' contexts. A manager might say, 'Guys, deadline pass hai, we really need to put in more mehnat.' Sports dramas in India (like 'Dangal' or 'Chak De! India') frequently use this phrase during training montages to emphasize the 'struggle' (sangharsh) before the 'victory' (jeet). India has a high-pressure exam culture (IIT-JEE, UPSC). This phrase is a staple in coaching centers and is often seen on motivational posters. In farming communities, 'Mehnat' is synonymous with physical labor. A farmer might use this when the monsoon is late and they need to work harder on irrigation.
Gender is Key
Always remember 'Mehnat' is feminine. If you forget, your sentence will sound 'broken' to native speakers.
The 'Hamein' Power
Using 'Hamein' (We) instead of 'Mujhe' (I) or 'Tumhe' (You) makes you sound like a leader who shares the burden.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 FragenYes, but 'Parishram' is very formal. Use it in a speech or a formal essay. In a meeting or with friends, 'Mehnat' is much more natural.
Because 'Mehnat' is a feminine noun in Hindi. Verbs in this construction must agree with the gender of the object.
No, it's not rude because it uses 'Hamein' (We). It sounds like a collective commitment rather than a command to others.
Absolutely. It's very common in the gym or during sports training.
'Aur' means 'more' or 'and'. 'Aur adhik' means 'even more' or 'greater'. Using 'adhik' adds emphasis.
Change 'Hamein' to 'Mujhe'. Sentence: 'Mujhe aur adhik mehnat karni hogi.'
Yes, it is the primary word for hard work in Urdu as well.
In this context, 'hogi' acts as a modal verb indicating future necessity or obligation, similar to 'will have to' in English.
In Hinglish (Hindi + English), this is very common in cities, but 'Mehnat' is preferred for better fluency.
Yes, you can just say 'और मेहनत करनी होगी' (Aur mehnat karni hogi), dropping the 'Hamein' if the context is clear.
