The Hindi word 'सहनहीन' (sahanaheen) is an adjective that describes someone or something that is unable to tolerate or endure something. It signifies a lack of patience, resilience, or the capacity to withstand difficult situations, opinions, or discomfort.
- Literal Breakdown
- 'सहन' (sahan) means tolerance or endurance, and 'हीन' (heen) means lacking or devoid of. Thus, 'सहनहीन' literally means 'lacking tolerance' or 'intolerant'.
- Nuances
- It can be used in various contexts, from personal relationships and social interactions to political discourse and even physical discomfort. For instance, someone might be 'सहनहीन' towards criticism, a particular type of food, or a prolonged period of waiting. It implies a low threshold for what can be borne.
- Usage Scenarios
- You might hear this word when describing someone who gets easily frustrated, cannot handle criticism well, or has a very low tolerance for pain or inconvenience. It can also describe a situation or environment that is unbearable. For example, a very hot climate might be described as 'सहनहीन' for someone not used to it.
वह अपनी आलोचना के प्रति बहुत सहनहीन है। (Vah apni aalochana ke prati bahut sahanaheen hai.)
यह गर्मी का मौसम मेरे लिए सहनहीन हो रहा है। (Yah garmi ka mausam mere lie sahanaheen ho raha hai.)
Using 'सहनहीन' (sahanaheen) effectively in Hindi sentences involves understanding its grammatical role as an adjective and its placement relative to the noun it modifies or the subject it describes. It's typically used after the subject, often with a linking verb like 'है' (hai - is) or 'था' (tha - was), or directly preceding a noun it describes.
- Subject Predicate
- The most common structure is to describe a person or thing as 'सहनहीन'.
वह व्यक्ति सहनहीन है और किसी की बात नहीं सुनता। (Vah vyakti sahanaheen hai aur kisi ki baat nahin sunta.) - That person is intolerant and doesn't listen to anyone.
- Describing a Situation
- It can also describe a situation or condition that is difficult to bear.
यह परीक्षा का तनाव मेरे लिए सहनहीन हो गया है। (Yah pariksha ka tanav mere lie sahanaheen ho gaya hai.) - The stress of this exam has become unbearable for me.
- Modifying a Noun (Less Common, but possible)
- While less frequent, it can sometimes directly precede a noun to describe its nature, though phrasing might be adjusted for natural flow.
उसकी सहनहीन प्रकृति के कारण वह जल्दी गुस्सा हो जाता है। (Uski sahanaheen prakriti ke karan vah jaldi gussa ho jata hai.) - Due to his intolerant nature, he gets angry quickly.
The word 'सहनहीन' (sahanaheen) is encountered in various real-life situations and discussions, reflecting its practical application in describing intolerance or a lack of endurance. Its usage spans across different registers, from casual conversations to more formal analyses of character or societal issues.
- Interpersonal Relationships
- In discussions about people's personalities, 'सहनहीन' is often used to describe someone who is easily annoyed, gets upset quickly, or cannot handle criticism. For instance, friends might discuss a colleague who is 'सहनहीन' towards feedback, making teamwork challenging.
मेरी बहन सहनहीन है, जरा सी बात पर रोने लगती है। (Meri bahan sahanaheen hai, jara si baat par rone lagti hai.) - My sister is intolerant/impatient, she starts crying over the slightest thing.
- Social and Political Commentary
- In debates or analyses of social issues, the term can describe individuals or groups who are unwilling to accept differing viewpoints or are intolerant of diversity. News articles or opinion pieces might use it to critique rigid mindsets.
समाज में सहनहीन लोगों की संख्या बढ़ रही है। (Samaj mein sahanaheen logon ki sankhya badh rahi hai.) - The number of intolerant people in society is increasing.
- Discussions about Health and Well-being
- It can also be used in contexts related to physical tolerance, such as pain tolerance or tolerance to extreme weather conditions. A doctor might discuss a patient's low pain tolerance, or someone might complain about the unbearable heat.
एलर्जी के कारण, मेरे लिए कुछ खाद्य पदार्थ सहनहीन हैं। (Allergy ke karan, mere lie kuch khadya padarth sahanaheen hain.) - Due to allergies, some food items are unbearable for me.
When learning to use 'सहनहीन' (sahanaheen), learners often make a few common mistakes. These usually stem from a misunderstanding of its nuances, its grammatical function, or its appropriate contexts. Being aware of these pitfalls can significantly improve your accuracy.
- Confusing with 'असहिष्णु' (asahishnu)
- While both words relate to intolerance, 'असहिष्णु' (asahishnu) is more commonly used for ideological or social intolerance (e.g., religious intolerance), whereas 'सहनहीन' often describes a personal lack of patience or ability to endure something, whether physical or emotional. Using 'सहनहीन' for broad social intolerance might sound slightly off, though context can sometimes bridge the gap. 'असहिष्णु' is a more direct antonym of 'सहिष्णु' (sahishnu - tolerant).
Mistake: वह धार्मिक रूप से सहनहीन है। (Incorrect for general religious intolerance.)
Correct: वह धार्मिक रूप से असहिष्णु है। (Vah dharmik roop se asahishnu hai.) - He is religiously intolerant.
- Overusing for Physical Pain
- While 'सहनहीन' can describe a low tolerance for physical discomfort, it's often more nuanced than simply saying 'I can't bear this pain'. Words like 'दर्द बर्दाश्त नहीं कर सकता' (dard bardasht nahin kar sakta - cannot bear pain) might be more direct. 'सहनहीन' implies a more general lack of resilience or a low threshold for enduring various forms of discomfort, not just acute pain.
Mistake: मेरा सिरदर्द सहनहीन है। (Slightly unnatural, though understandable.)
Better: मेरा सिरदर्द बर्दाश्त से बाहर है। (Mera sirdard bardasht se bahar hai.) - My headache is beyond bearing.
Or: सिरदर्द के कारण मैं बहुत सहनहीन महसूस कर रहा हूँ। (Sirdard ke karan main bahut sahanaheen mahasoos kar raha hoon.) - Due to the headache, I am feeling very intolerant/irritable.
- Using it in a Positive Context
- 'सहनहीन' inherently carries a negative connotation. It's incorrect to use it to describe someone who is patient or enduring in a positive way. For that, you would use words like 'धैर्यवान' (dhairyavan - patient) or 'सहनशील' (sahansheel - tolerant/enduring).
Mistake: वह अपनी मेहनत के प्रति सहनहीन है। (Incorrect - implies intolerance towards hard work, which is illogical.)
Correct: वह अपनी मेहनत के प्रति धैर्यवान है। (Vah apni mehnat ke prati dhairyavan hai.) - He is patient with his hard work.
While 'सहनहीन' (sahanaheen) specifically means intolerant or unable to bear, Hindi offers a range of words that convey similar or related meanings, each with its own nuance and context. Understanding these alternatives will enrich your vocabulary and allow for more precise expression.
- असहिष्णु (asahishnu)
- This is perhaps the closest synonym, meaning 'intolerant'. However, 'असहिष्णु' is more commonly used for ideological, religious, or social intolerance – a refusal to accept different beliefs or practices. 'सहनहीन' can overlap but often leans towards a personal inability to endure something, be it a situation, criticism, or discomfort.
- Comparison: 'असहिष्णु' focuses on the refusal to accept others' views, while 'सहनहीन' focuses on the lack of capacity to endure.
- अधीर (adheer)
- This means 'impatient' or 'restless'. While an impatient person might exhibit 'सहनहीन' behavior, 'अधीर' specifically refers to a lack of patience, often shown by eagerness to move on or a quickness to get annoyed by delays. It's a component of being 'सहनहीन' but not the entirety of it.
- Comparison: 'अधीर' is about a lack of patience; 'सहनहीन' is about a lack of ability to endure.
- चिड़चिड़ा (chidchida)
- Meaning 'irritable' or 'grumpy'. Someone who is 'सहनहीन' might often be 'चिड़चिड़ा' because they cannot tolerate things. This word describes the resulting mood or disposition rather than the underlying inability to endure.
- Comparison: 'चिड़चिड़ा' describes the outward behavior; 'सहनहीन' describes the internal capacity (or lack thereof).
- कठोर (kathor)
- This means 'hard' or 'tough'. It can sometimes be used metaphorically to describe a person who is harsh or unyielding, which can be a manifestation of intolerance. However, 'कठोर' can also mean physically hard or firm, making its meaning broader and less specific to intolerance than 'सहनहीन'.
- Comparison: 'कठोर' can mean unyielding or harsh; 'सहनहीन' is specifically about lacking tolerance or endurance.
- Opposites (Antonyms)
- The direct antonyms of 'सहनहीन' are words like 'सहनशील' (sahansheel - tolerant, enduring) and 'धैर्यवान' (dhairyavan - patient). 'सहिष्णु' (sahishnu - tolerant, especially of different views) is also a key opposite.
How Formal Is It?
Wusstest du?
The concept of 'sahan' (endurance/tolerance) is highly valued in many Indian philosophical and cultural traditions, often seen as a virtue. Therefore, its opposite, 'sahanheen', carries a strong negative connotation, highlighting a deficiency in a culturally important trait. The addition of 'हीन' (lacking) directly negates the positive quality of 'sahan'.
Aussprachehilfe
- Mispronouncing the vowel sound in 'हीन' (heen) as a short 'i' instead of a long 'ee'.
- Placing stress on the first syllable instead of the second.
- Adding an extra sound or altering the 'h' sound.
- Not clearly articulating the final 'n' sound.
- Confusing it with similar-sounding words.
Schwierigkeitsgrad
The word 'सहनहीन' is relatively straightforward once its core meaning of 'intolerant' or 'unable to bear' is understood. Its usage is common in everyday contexts, making it accessible for B1 level readers. However, distinguishing its nuances from similar words like 'असहिष्णु' might pose a slight challenge for lower intermediate learners.
Learners at the B1 level can effectively use 'सहनहीन' in writing, especially when describing personal feelings, character traits, or difficult situations. The main challenge lies in choosing the correct context and avoiding overuse or misuse, particularly when compared to more specific synonyms.
Pronouncing and using 'सहनहीन' in spoken Hindi should be achievable for B1 learners. The key is to practice using it in various sentence structures and to be mindful of its negative connotation and appropriate contexts.
Recognizing 'सहनहीन' in spoken Hindi is generally easy due to its clear meaning and common usage. Learners at the B1 level should be able to understand its implication in conversations about personal discomfort, opinions, or character.

Wird oft verwechselt mit
'असहिष्णु' is primarily used for ideological or social intolerance (e.g., religious intolerance). 'सहनहीन' can overlap but more often refers to a general inability to bear or endure something, including physical discomfort or personal criticism. While both mean intolerant, 'असहिष्णु' is more specific to beliefs and attitudes.
'अधीर' means impatient. While impatience is a common trait of someone who is 'सहनहीन', 'सहनहीन' is broader and implies an inability to endure, not just a lack of patience. Someone can be 'अधीर' about waiting but 'सहनशील' (tolerant) about criticism.
'सहनशील' is the direct antonym, meaning tolerant or enduring. It describes the ability to bear difficulties, whereas 'सहनहीन' describes the lack of this ability.

Both words translate to 'intolerant' and describe a lack of acceptance or endurance.
'असहिष्णु' specifically refers to intolerance of differing ideologies, beliefs, or groups, often in a social or political context. 'सहनहीन' is broader and can describe an inability to bear physical discomfort, emotional stress, criticism, or simply a lack of patience. For example, one might be 'असहिष्णु' towards a political party but 'सहनहीन' towards loud noise.
वह धार्मिक रूप से <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>असहिष्णु</mark> है। (Vah dharmik roop se <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>asahishnu</mark> hai.) - He is religiously intolerant. / यह गर्मी <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>सहनहीन</mark> है। (Yah garmi <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>sahanaheen</mark> hai.) - This heat is unbearable.
Both words can describe someone who is easily upset or agitated.
'अधीर' means impatient, focusing on a lack of willingness to wait or a desire for things to happen quickly. 'सहनहीन' is about an inability to endure or tolerate something, whether it's waiting, discomfort, criticism, or differing opinions. An 'अधीर' person might become 'सहनहीन' when their impatience is not met.
वह <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अधीर</mark> होकर बार-बार घड़ी देख रहा था। (Vah <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>adheer</mark> hokar baar-baar ghadi dekh raha tha.) - He was impatiently checking the watch repeatedly. / उसकी <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>सहनहीन</mark> प्रकृति के कारण वह देर बर्दाश्त नहीं कर पाता। (Uski <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>sahanaheen</mark> prakriti ke karan vah der bardasht nahin kar pata.) - Due to his intolerant nature, he cannot tolerate delays.
These are direct antonyms, and understanding one helps in understanding the other.
'सहनशील' means tolerant, enduring, or patient – the ability to bear difficulties or unpleasantness. 'सहनहीन' means the opposite: intolerant, unable to bear, or lacking endurance. A 'सहनशील' person can handle criticism, while a 'सहनहीन' person cannot.
वह एक <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>सहनशील</mark> व्यक्ति है और हर परिस्थिति को झेल लेता है। (Vah ek <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>sahansheel</mark> vyakti hai aur har paristhiti ko jhel leta hai.) - He is an enduring person and handles every situation. / उसकी <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>सहनहीन</mark> प्रकृति के कारण वह छोटी बातों पर भी चिढ़ जाता है। (Uski <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>sahanaheen</mark> prakriti ke karan vah chhoti baaton par bhi chidh jata hai.) - Due to his intolerant nature, he gets annoyed even by small things.
Both describe something unbearable.
'दुःसह' is a more direct adjective meaning 'unbearable' or 'difficult to endure', often used for physical pain, extreme conditions, or overwhelming situations. 'सहनहीन' can describe the person experiencing this unbearable situation (as in, they are 'sahanheen' because of it) or the situation itself. 'दुःसह' focuses solely on the intensity of the negative experience.
यह दर्द <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>दुःसह</mark> है। (Yah dard <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>dussah</mark> hai.) - This pain is unbearable. / मैं यह <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>सहनहीन</mark> गर्मी बर्दाश्त नहीं कर सकता। (Main yah <mark class='bg-indigo-200 dark:bg-indigo-800 px-0.5 rounded'>sahanaheen</mark> garmi bardasht nahin kar sakta.) - I cannot bear this unbearable heat.
Both can describe someone or something harsh or unyielding.
'कठोर' means hard, harsh, strict, or unyielding. It can describe a physical object, a personality trait (like being strict or severe), or an action. 'सहनहीन' specifically relates to a lack of tolerance or endurance. While a 'कठोर' person might also be 'सहनहीन', 'कठोर' does not necessarily imply intolerance; it can mean firm or resolute.

वह धार्मिक रूप से <mark class='bg-rose-200 dark:bg-rose-800 px-0.5 rounded'>असहिष्णु</mark> है। (Vah dharmik roop se <mark class='bg-rose-200 dark:bg-rose-800 px-0.5 rounded'>asahishnu</mark> hai.)
'असहिष्णु' is more specific for intolerance towards beliefs or groups. 'सहनहीन' is broader and can include personal endurance. Using 'सहनहीन' for religious intolerance might sound less precise.

Using 'सहनहीन' to describe someone who is merely impatient, instead of 'अधीर'.

'अधीर' specifically means impatient. 'सहनहीन' implies a deeper inability to endure, not just a lack of patience. While related, they are not interchangeable.

'सहनहीन' inherently means lacking tolerance or endurance, so it cannot be used positively. For positive traits like endurance or patience, use 'सहनशील' or 'धैर्यवान'.

'सहनहीन' is an adjective. It describes a noun or subject. It is not a verb and cannot be used to 'perform' intolerance.
-
Overusing 'सहनहीन' for minor annoyances where a simpler word might suffice.
→
मुझे यह शोर <mark class='bg-rose-200 dark:bg-rose-800 px-0.5 rounded'>परेशान कर रहा है</mark>। (Mujhe yah shor <mark class='bg-rose-200 dark:bg-rose-800 px-0.5 rounded'>pareshan kar raha hai</mark>.)
While 'सहनहीन' can mean unbearable, it's a strong word. For minor irritations, simpler phrases like 'परेशान कर रहा है' (is bothering me) or 'अच्छा नहीं लग रहा' (doesn't feel good) might be more appropriate and less dramatic.

Wortherkunft
The word 'सहनहीन' is derived from Sanskrit roots. It is a compound word formed by combining 'सहन' (sahan) and 'हीन' (heen). 'सहन' originates from the Sanskrit root 'सह' (sah), meaning 'to bear', 'to endure', or 'to tolerate'. 'हीन' is also from Sanskrit, meaning 'lacking', 'devoid of', or 'without'.
Ursprüngliche Bedeutung: Lacking tolerance or endurance; devoid of the ability to bear.
Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit derived)Kultureller Kontext
While 'सहनहीन' can describe a genuine inability to bear extreme discomfort, it is often used critically to point out a personal failing in patience or acceptance. It's important to use it appropriately and consider the context to avoid sounding overly judgmental, especially when describing someone's character.
In English, 'intolerant' is a direct translation, but 'unable to bear' or 'cannot stand' also capture the essence depending on the context. Phrases like 'short-tempered' or 'impatient' can describe behaviors associated with being 'सहनहीन'.

Häufig gestellte Fragen
10 Fragen'सहनहीन' (sahanaheen) generally means unable to bear or tolerate, often referring to personal discomfort, criticism, or a low threshold for enduring things. 'असहिष्णु' (asahishnu) is more specific to ideological, religious, or social intolerance – a refusal to accept different beliefs or practices. While there's overlap, 'असहिष्णु' is typically used for broader societal or belief-based intolerance, whereas 'सहनहीन' can describe a personal lack of patience or endurance.
Yes, 'सहनहीन' can be used to describe a low tolerance for physical pain or discomfort. For example, 'यह दर्द सहनहीन है।' (Yah dard sahanaheen hai.) - This pain is unbearable. However, phrases like 'दर्द बर्दाश्त नहीं कर सकता' (dard bardasht nahin kar sakta - cannot bear pain) might be more direct in some contexts.
Generally, yes. 'सहनहीन' carries a negative connotation, implying a lack of a desirable quality like patience, resilience, or acceptance. It's often used as a criticism of a person's character or attitude. However, in contexts describing extreme conditions (like unbearable heat), it can describe a situation rather than a personal failing.
The main antonyms are 'सहनशील' (sahansheel - tolerant, enduring), 'धैर्यवान' (dhairyavan - patient), and 'सहिष्णु' (sahishnu - tolerant, especially of different views).
Break it down: 'सहन' (sahan) means tolerance/endurance, and 'हीन' (heen) means lacking. So, 'सहनहीन' literally means 'lacking tolerance' or 'lacking endurance'. Visualize someone who cannot 'hear' (sounds like 'heen') anything they don't want to, showing intolerance.
Use 'अधीर' (adheer) when you want to emphasize a lack of patience, a desire for things to happen quickly, or restlessness. Use 'सहनहीन' when you want to emphasize an inability to endure or tolerate something, which could be discomfort, criticism, or differing opinions. Someone who is 'अधीर' might become 'सहनहीन' when their impatience is tested.
Yes, it can describe a situation, place, or object that is difficult to bear. For instance, 'यह शोर सहनहीन है।' (Yah shor sahanaheen hai.) - This noise is unbearable. Or, 'यह जगह सहनहीन रूप से गर्म है।' (Yah jagah sahanaheen roop se garm hai.) - This place is unbearably hot. In such cases, it describes the quality of the thing itself making it hard to endure.
'सहनहीन' is a common word used in everyday Hindi, particularly when discussing personal traits, reactions to discomfort, or social attitudes. It's part of the B1 CEFR level vocabulary, indicating its frequent usage in intermediate conversations and texts.
'सहनहीन' is an adjective. It modifies nouns or describes the subject of a sentence, usually appearing after the subject and a linking verb (like 'है' - hai, 'था' - tha) or directly before a noun it describes.
Generally, no. The word itself implies a deficiency. However, in a very specific and nuanced context, one might use it sarcastically or to describe a situation where a lack of tolerance is ironically seen as necessary for survival (e.g., 'This harsh environment makes one 'sahanheen' to survive'). But this is rare and context-dependent. Typically, it's negative.
