दुरुस्त in 30 Sekunden
- Durust means fixed, accurate, or in good order.
- It is a formal alternative to 'theek' or 'sahi'.
- It is often used with 'karna' (to fix) and 'hona' (to be fixed).
- It is an indeclinable adjective, meaning it never changes form.
The Hindi word दुरुस्त (Durust) is a versatile and sophisticated adjective that primarily translates to 'correct,' 'accurate,' or 'in good order.' Originating from Persian, it carries a sense of precision and functionality that distinguishes it from the more common word 'theek' (okay). When an object is broken and then repaired, it becomes durust. When a mathematical calculation is verified as accurate, it is durust. When a person's health returns to a state of vigor, they are said to be durust. This word bridges the gap between mechanical repair and intellectual accuracy, making it indispensable for learners moving into the A2 and B1 levels of Hindi proficiency.
- Mechanical State
- Refers to machinery, electronics, or physical objects that have been fixed or are functioning perfectly. For example, a car engine after a service is durust.
- Intellectual Accuracy
- Used to validate facts, figures, or logical arguments. If a teacher says your answer is durust, they mean it is precisely correct.
मिस्त्री ने मेरी पुरानी साइकिल को बिल्कुल दुरुस्त कर दिया। (The mechanic made my old bicycle absolutely functional/fixed.)
In a social context, using 'durust' instead of 'sahi' or 'theek' elevates the register of your speech. It suggests a level of education and attention to detail. It is frequently heard in professional settings, such as auditing, engineering, and formal debates. Furthermore, the word appears in the famous Hindi-Urdu idiom 'Der aaye durust aaye' (Better late than never), which literally translates to 'Came late, but came correctly/rightly.' This phrase alone highlights the word's association with a successful or desired outcome, regardless of the time taken to achieve it.
Interestingly, the word is also deeply connected to physical fitness. In the phrase 'Tandurust' (Healthy), the 'durust' part signifies the 'correct' or 'optimal' state of the body ('Tan'). Therefore, when you describe someone as 'durust,' you are often implying they are fit, sturdy, and in a state of well-being. This multi-layered utility makes it a high-frequency word in news broadcasts, literature, and formal conversations across North India and Pakistan.
- Etymological Nuance
- The Persian root 'durust' implies 'firm' or 'straight.' In Hindi, this evolved to mean something that has been set straight or made firm again.
आपका तर्क बिल्कुल दुरुस्त है, मैं आपसे सहमत हूँ। (Your logic is absolutely correct; I agree with you.)
Using दुरुस्त (Durust) effectively requires understanding its relationship with auxiliary verbs, primarily karna (to do/make) and hona (to be). Unlike some adjectives that stand alone, 'durust' often acts as part of a compound verb to describe the action of fixing or the state of being fixed.
- दुरूस्त करना (Durust Karna)
- To repair, to fix, to rectify, or to correct. Usage: 'Hisaab durust karna' (To correct the accounts).
क्या आप इस मशीन को दुरुस्त कर सकते हैं? (Can you fix this machine?)
When describing a state, we use 'durust hona.' This is common when confirming that a task has been completed or that a situation is now under control. For instance, after a technician visits, you might say, 'Ab line durust hai' (Now the line is fixed/operational). It is important to note that 'durust' is an indeclinable adjective. It does not change its form based on the gender or number of the noun it describes. Whether you are fixing a feminine 'ghadi' (watch) or a masculine 'darvaza' (door), the word remains 'durust.'
- दुरुस्त होना (Durust Hona)
- To be fixed, to be in order, or to be healthy. Usage: 'Sab durust ho jayega' (Everything will be alright/fixed).
In more abstract or figurative sentences, 'durust' can be used to describe someone's behavior or attitude. If someone is acting out of line, a superior might say, 'Main usey durust kar dunga,' which colloquially means 'I will straighten him out' or 'I will teach him a lesson.' This usage is common in movies and informal street Hindi, though it carries a slightly aggressive undertone. In a more positive light, it is used for self-improvement: 'Apni aadatein durust karo' (Correct your habits).
दवा लेने के बाद मेरी तबीयत दुरुस्त हो गई। (After taking medicine, my health became fine/restored.)
You will encounter दुरुस्त (Durust) in a variety of real-world environments, ranging from the gritty atmosphere of a roadside repair shop to the sterile environment of a government office. Understanding these contexts helps in grasping the word's specific 'flavor' compared to its synonyms.
- At the Mechanic's (Mistri-khana)
- This is perhaps the most common place to hear the word. Mechanics use it to reassure customers. 'Chinta mat kijiye, gaadi durust hai' (Don't worry, the car is fixed/in good condition).
इलेक्ट्रिशियन ने सारे तार दुरुस्त कर दिए हैं। (The electrician has fixed all the wires.)
In the world of bureaucracy and administration, 'durust' is the standard term for 'rectification.' If there is an error in your passport or a government document, the official will ask you to get the records 'durust' (corrected). This implies a formal process of verification and correction. Similarly, in legal contexts, a 'durust bayan' is a correct or verified statement. It carries a weight of truth and legal validity that 'sahi' might lack in a courtroom setting.
- News and Media
- News anchors often use this word when reporting on infrastructure. 'Sarkar ne sadkon ko durust karne ka vaada kiya hai' (The government has promised to repair the roads).
Finally, you will hear it in classical music and poetry (Shayari). A poet might talk about 'durust lehja' (correct accent/tone) or 'durust nishana' (accurate aim). In these artistic contexts, the word evokes a sense of perfection and mastery. If a singer's pitch is perfect, a connoisseur might remark that their 'sur' (note) is 'durust.' This demonstrates the word's transition from the physical world of fixing things to the aesthetic world of perfect execution.
देर आए, दुरुस्त आए। (Better late than never / Arrived late, but arrived right.)
While दुरुस्त (Durust) is a powerful word, learners often stumble by using it in contexts where 'theek' or 'sahi' would be more natural. The most common mistake is using it as a generic response to 'How are you?' While grammatically possible, saying 'Main durust hoon' sounds overly formal, almost as if you are saying 'I am in a state of repair.'
- Mistake 1: Confusing 'Durust' with 'Achha'
- Don't use durust to mean 'good' in a moral or qualitative sense. A 'good boy' is 'achha ladka,' not 'durust ladka.' 'Durust' is about correctness and functionality, not general goodness.
Incorrect: यह खाना बहुत दुरुस्त है। (This food is very repaired/correct.)
Correct: यह खाना बहुत अच्छा है। (This food is very good.)
Another error involves subject-verb agreement in complex sentences. Since 'durust' is Persian in origin, it doesn't follow the 'a' to 'e/i' ending changes common in Sanskrit-derived Hindi adjectives. Some learners try to say 'durusti' for feminine nouns, which is incorrect. The noun form is indeed 'durusti' (repair/correction), but the adjective remains 'durust.' For example, 'uski halat durust hai' (his condition is fine) – 'durust' stays the same regardless of 'halat' being feminine.
- Mistake 2: Over-formalizing Informal Situations
- Using 'durust' when hanging out with friends might make you sound like a textbook or a 19th-century poet. Stick to 'sahi' or 'theek' for 'okay/right' in casual chats.
Lastly, learners often forget that 'durust' implies a process. If you say a machine is 'durust,' it implies it might have been broken before. If a machine is simply 'new' and working, 'durust' is less appropriate than 'nayi' or 'chalu' (running). Use 'durust' specifically when the restoration of order is the focus of the conversation.
गलत: क्या आपकी घड़ी दुरुस्त समय बताती है? (Does your watch tell 'repaired' time?)
सही: क्या आपकी घड़ी सही समय बताती है? (Does your watch tell the 'correct' time? - though durust is sometimes used here, 'sahi' is more natural for time.)
Hindi has a rich vocabulary for 'correctness.' Understanding where दुरुस्त (Durust) fits among its peers will help you sound like a native speaker. The most common alternatives are Sahi, Theek, and Uchit.
- दुरुस्त (Durust) vs. सही (Sahi)
- 'Sahi' is the general word for 'right' or 'correct.' 'Durust' is more specific to being 'in order' or 'fixed.' You say 'Sahi rasta' (Right path), but 'Rasta durust karna' (To repair the road).
- दुरुस्त (Durust) vs. ठीक (Theek)
- 'Theek' is 'okay' or 'fine.' It is casual. 'Durust' is more formal and implies a higher degree of perfection or restoration. If a doctor says you are 'theek,' you are okay. If they say you are 'durust,' you are fit and robust.
Another word often confused with durust is Uchit. 'Uchit' means 'appropriate' or 'proper' in a moral or social sense. For instance, 'Uchit vyavahar' (Appropriate behavior). 'Durust' would not be used there because behavior isn't 'repaired' or 'accurate' in the same way a machine or a sum is. 'Durust' is about the 'is-ness' of a fact or the 'working-ness' of a tool.
उचित: यह कहना उचित होगा। (It would be appropriate to say.)
दुरुस्त: यह जानकारी बिल्कुल दुरुस्त है। (This information is absolutely accurate.)
When dealing with repairs specifically, you might also hear Marammat-shuda (repaired). However, this is a heavy, formal adjective. 'Durust' is the more common way to describe the result of 'marammat' (repair). Think of 'marammat' as the process and 'durust' as the successful state after the process.
- Summary Table
- Sahi = Correct/Right | Theek = Okay | Durust = Accurate/Fixed | Uchit = Proper/Appropriate
How Formal Is It?
Wusstest du?
The word 'Durust' shares a very distant ancestral root with the English word 'True' and 'Durable,' reflecting the Proto-Indo-European concept of something being 'firm' or 'wooden' (like a tree).
Aussprachehilfe
