थका
थका in 30 Sekunden
- Thakā is the standard Hindi word for 'tired'.
- It is an adjective that must agree with the gender and number of the subject.
- Commonly used as 'thakā huā' to describe a current state of exhaustion.
- It is used for both physical and mental fatigue in daily conversation.
The Hindi word थका (thakā) is a primary adjective used to describe a state of physical or mental exhaustion. Derived from the verb थकना (thaknā), which means 'to tire' or 'to get tired,' it functions as a past participle used adjectivally. In its most basic sense, it corresponds directly to the English word 'tired.' However, its usage in Hindi carries various nuances depending on the intensity of the fatigue and the context of the situation. Whether you are exhausted after a long day at the office, weary from a long journey, or mentally drained from intense study, थका is the foundational term you will use to communicate this state.
- Grammatical Essence
- As an adjective ending in '-ā', it is declinable. This means it must agree in gender and number with the noun it modifies. For a masculine singular subject, use थका (thakā); for masculine plural or respectful singular, use थके (thake); and for feminine singular or plural, use थकी (thakī).
वह बहुत थका हुआ लग रहा है। (He is looking very tired.)
Beyond simple physical tiredness, थका can also imply a sense of being 'worn out' or 'spent.' In a more literary or formal context, it might be replaced by words like श्रान्त (shrānt) or क्लान्त (klānt), but in daily conversation, थका is the undisputed king. It covers everything from the slight drowsiness after a meal to the bone-deep exhaustion after running a marathon. It is often paired with the auxiliary verb हुआ (huā) to emphasize the state: थका हुआ (thakā huā) translates literally to 'in a tired state.'
सारा दिन पैदल चलने के बाद, यात्री थके हुए थे। (After walking all day, the travelers were tired.)
- Physical vs. Mental
- While primarily physical, you can use 'thakā' for mental fatigue by adding context, such as 'dimāgh se thakā' (tired from the brain/mind).
आज का काम बहुत भारी था, मैं पूरी तरह से थका हूँ। (Today's work was very heavy; I am completely tired.)
In Hindi literature and poetry, थका is often used metaphorically to describe a soul that has wandered long or a heart that has given up hope. However, for a CEFR A2 learner, focusing on its literal application to the body is most beneficial. It is one of the first adjectives learned because expressing physical needs and states is fundamental to basic communication. Understanding how to modify it for gender is the first hurdle, followed by learning how to intensify it using adverbs like बहुत (bahut - very) or ज़रा (zarā - a little).
क्या तुम थकी हो? (Are you [feminine] tired?)
बच्चा खेलते-खेलते थका और सो गया। (The child got tired while playing and fell asleep.)
- Intensity Levels
- You can say 'thakā-māndā' to mean 'exhausted and broken' or 'be-haal' to mean 'in a bad state due to tiredness.'
Using थका (thakā) correctly requires a basic understanding of Hindi adjective agreement. Since it ends in the long 'ā' vowel, it is part of the category of adjectives that change their endings to match the noun they describe. This is a crucial step for A2 learners moving beyond simple vocabulary to functional grammar. If you are a male saying 'I am tired,' you say 'Main thakā hoon.' If you are a female, you must say 'Main thakī hoon.' If you are talking about a group of people, you use 'thake.'
- The 'Huā' Addition
- Very often, you will hear थका हुआ (thakā huā). The word huā is the past participle of honā (to be/become). Adding it emphasizes that the person is currently in the state of having become tired. It makes the description feel more complete and natural in conversational Hindi.
वह थका हुआ मज़दूर पेड़ के नीचे सो गया। (That tired laborer fell asleep under the tree.)
In terms of sentence placement, थका usually comes before the noun it modifies (attributive use) or after a linking verb like honā (predicative use). For example, 'Thakā huā ādmī' (The tired man) vs. 'Ādmī thakā hai' (The man is tired). As you progress to B1 and B2 levels, you will start using it in more complex structures, such as 'Thake hone ke bāvajūd' (Despite being tired), where the adjective remains in its oblique masculine plural form thake because of the following postposition.
मेरी माँ काम से बहुत थकी हुई घर आईं। (My mother came home very tired from work.)
- Common Adverbs of Degree
- 1. Bahut (Very) - Bahut thakā.
2. Bilkul (Completely) - Bilkul thakā.
3. Thoṛā (A little) - Thoṛā thakā.
क्या आप थके हैं? चलिए आराम करते हैं। (Are you [formal] tired? Let's rest.)
One interesting usage is the reduplication or pairing of the word. You might hear 'thakā-hārā'. The word hārā comes from hārnā (to lose/be defeated). Together, thakā-hārā describes someone who is not just tired, but completely exhausted and perhaps a bit discouraged, like someone returning from a long, unsuccessful search or a grueling day of manual labor.
वह थका-हारा मुसाफ़िर सराय में रुक गया। (That exhausted traveler stopped at the inn.)
- Verb vs Adjective
- Don't confuse 'thakā' (the state) with 'thaknā' (the action). 'Main thak gayā' means 'I got tired' (action completed), whereas 'Main thakā hoon' means 'I am tired' (current state).
The word थका (thakā) is ubiquitous in Hindi-speaking environments. You will hear it in domestic settings, workplaces, public transport, and in popular media like Bollywood films and TV serials. It is a fundamental part of the 'small talk' regarding health and well-being. In an Indian household, the first question asked to someone returning from work is often 'Bahut thak gaye ho kyā?' (Are you very tired?).
- In the Workplace
- Colleagues often use it to sympathize with each other after long meetings or shifts. You might hear: 'Aaj ki meeting ke baad main bahut thakā hoon.' (I am very tired after today's meeting.) It serves as a social lubricant to acknowledge shared hardship.
ऑफिस से आने के बाद वह बहुत थका महसूस करता है। (He feels very tired after coming from the office.)
In the context of travel, especially in crowded cities like Mumbai or Delhi, you'll hear commuters complaining about being thakā due to the commute. On a crowded local train or bus, someone might say, 'Khade-khade thak gayā hoon' (I am tired of standing). Here, thakā expresses the physical strain of the daily grind. In sports commentary, you'll hear it used to describe players toward the end of a match: 'Gendbaaz ab thakā huā lag rahā hai' (The bowler is looking tired now).
मैच के अंत में सभी खिलाड़ी थके हुए थे। (At the end of the match, all the players were tired.)
- In Movies and Songs
- Bollywood songs often use 'thakā' to describe the journey of life or the weariness of a lover. Phrases like 'thake-thake qadam' (tired steps) evoke a sense of melancholy or perseverance.
रात भर जागने के कारण उसकी आँखें थकी हुई लग रही थीं। (Because of staying up all night, her eyes were looking tired.)
In a medical or health context, a doctor might ask, 'Kya aap jaldi thak jaate hain?' (Do you get tired quickly?). Here, the word is used to gauge stamina and physical health. Even in children's stories, you'll find the 'thakā huā sher' (tired lion) or 'thakī huī chidiya' (tired bird), making it a word that spans all ages and registers of the language.
वह थका है, उसे सोने दो। (He is tired, let him sleep.)
- Social Context
- In Indian culture, being 'thakā' is often seen as a sign of hard work and dedication, especially for the breadwinner of the family.
For English speakers learning Hindi, the most frequent mistake with थका (thakā) is failing to adjust for gender and number. Because 'tired' is invariable in English, learners often default to thakā for everyone. Remember: Main (male) thakā hoon but Main (female) thakī hoon. Similarly, when talking about a group, you must use thake.
- Confusing 'Tired' with 'Bored'
- In English, we say 'I am tired of this movie.' If you translate this literally using 'thakā,' a Hindi speaker might think the movie physically exhausted you. To say you are bored or fed up, use 'uub gayā' or 'pareshān ho gayā.'
❌ Incorrect: मैं इस काम से थका हूँ। (Meaning bored)
✅ Correct: मैं इस काम से ऊब गया हूँ।
Another mistake is confusing the adjective thakā with the verb thaknā. If you want to say 'I am getting tired,' you should use the continuous form of the verb: 'Main thak rahā hoon.' If you say 'Main thakā hoon,' you are describing your current state. While subtle, using the verb when you mean the adjective (or vice versa) can make your Hindi sound slightly 'off' to native ears.
❌ Incorrect: वे सब थका हैं। (Plural mismatch)
✅ Correct: वे सब थके हैं।
- Misusing 'Thakā' for Objects
- In English, we might say a 'tired old car.' In Hindi, 'thakā' is almost exclusively used for living beings. For an old car, you would use 'purānī' (old) or 'khatārā' (junk).
वह लड़की बहुत थकी हुई है। (That girl is very tired. - Correct agreement)
Lastly, be careful with the word thakān. Thakān is the noun meaning 'tiredness' or 'fatigue.' You cannot say 'I am tiredness.' You must say 'I have tiredness' (Mujhe thakān hai) or 'I am tired' (Main thakā hoon). Mixing up the noun and adjective forms is a common pitfall for beginners.
❌ Incorrect: मैं बहुत थकान हूँ।
✅ Correct: मुझे बहुत थकान है। OR मैं बहुत थका हूँ।
- Transitive Confusion
- The verb 'thakānā' means 'to tire someone else out.' Don't use 'thakā' when you mean you made someone else tired. Use 'thakā diyā.'
While थका (thakā) is the most common word for tired, Hindi has a rich vocabulary to describe various shades of exhaustion. Understanding these synonyms will help you move from A2 to B1 and beyond, allowing you to be more precise in your descriptions. Some words are more formal, some are more intense, and some are more colloquial.
- 1. श्रान्त (Shrānt)
- This is a formal, Sanskrit-derived word for 'tired' or 'calmed after fatigue.' You will mostly find it in literature or high-register speeches. It sounds more poetic than 'thakā.'
- 2. क्लान्त (Klānt)
- Similar to 'shrānt,' this word implies a weary or languid state. It often describes a face that looks pale or drained due to long-term exhaustion.
उसका क्लान्त चेहरा उसकी मेहनत की कहानी कह रहा था। (His weary face was telling the story of his hard work.)
If you want to express extreme exhaustion, you might use चूर-चूर (chūr-chūr), which literally means 'broken into pieces.' Saying 'Main thak kar chūr ho gayā hoon' means 'I am shattered/exhausted to the core.' Another powerful word is बेदम (be-dam), which literally means 'without breath.' This is used when you are so tired you can't even breathe properly, like after a sprint.
लगातार काम करने से वह बेदम हो गया। (He became breathless/exhausted from working continuously.)
- 3. सुस्त (Sust)
- While often translated as 'lazy,' 'sust' can also mean 'lethargic' or 'slow due to tiredness.' If you feel 'thakā,' you will likely act 'sust.'
बीमारी के बाद वह बहुत सुस्त महसूस कर रहा है। (He is feeling very lethargic after the illness.)
In colloquial Urdu-influenced Hindi, you might hear निढाल (nidhāl). This describes a state of being completely limp or prostrate with exhaustion. It’s a very descriptive word often used in stories to show a character collapsing onto a bed. For a learner, stick to thakā for 90% of situations, but recognizing these others will significantly improve your listening comprehension.
धूप में चलने के बाद वह निढाल होकर गिर पड़ा। (After walking in the sun, he fell down exhausted.)
- Summary Table
- Thakā: Standard Tired
Chūr: Shattered
Be-haal: In a bad state
Nidhāl: Limp/Prostrate
