खर्चीला en 30 segundos
- खर्चीला (kharchīlā) means expensive, especially with ongoing costs.
- It implies high maintenance, running expenses, or a generally costly nature.
- Use it for things like cars, lifestyles, or services with continuous expenditure.
- Remember gender and number agreement: खर्चीला (m.sg), खर्चीली (f.sg/pl), खर्चीले (m.pl).
- Meaning
- 'खर्चीला' (kharchīlā) is an adjective in Hindi that describes something as being expensive, costly, or requiring a lot of money to maintain or purchase. It implies that an item, service, or lifestyle demands significant financial expenditure.
- Usage Context
- This word is commonly used when discussing the price of goods, the cost of living in a particular place, the expenses associated with a hobby or lifestyle, or the financial implications of a decision. For example, you might call a large house 'खर्चीला' because of its high utility bills and maintenance costs, or a luxury car might be described as 'खर्चीला' due to its purchase price and upkeep. It can also refer to a person who spends a lot of money, though 'खर्चीला व्यक्ति' (kharchīlā vyakti) is more explicit. In a broader sense, anything that drains one's finances can be termed 'खर्चीला'.
- Nuance
- While 'महँगा' (mahangā) also means expensive, 'खर्चीला' often carries a stronger connotation of ongoing or substantial expenses, not just a high initial price. It can imply that something is not just costly to buy but also costly to run or maintain over time. For instance, a cheap phone might be 'महँगा' if it breaks easily, but a car with high fuel consumption and frequent repairs is definitely 'खर्चीला'.
This car is very expensive (to maintain/run).यह कार बहुत खर्चीला है।
His lifestyle is expensive.उसका जीवन खर्चीला है।
- Synonym Comparison
- महँगा (mahangā): Generally means expensive, referring to a high price.
खर्चीला (kharchīlā): Implies high ongoing costs, maintenance, or a generally costly nature.
Example: A diamond ring might be 'महँगा' (expensive to buy), but a large mansion with high property taxes, utilities, and upkeep is 'खर्चीला' (expensive to own and live in).
- Basic Sentence Structure
- The adjective 'खर्चीला' (kharchīlā) typically follows the noun it modifies, often with a linking verb like 'है' (hai - is) or 'था' (thā - was). It agrees in gender and number with the noun, though in its base form it is masculine singular.
This house is very expensive (to maintain).यह घर बहुत खर्चीला है।
- Describing Objects
- When referring to tangible items, 'खर्चीला' highlights their high cost of ownership or operation.
Old cars are often expensive (to maintain).पुरानी कारें अक्सर खर्चीली होती हैं।
- Describing Lifestyles or Habits
- It can also describe abstract concepts like lifestyles, hobbies, or habits that involve significant spending.
Traveling is an expensive hobby.यात्रा करना एक खर्चीला शौक है।
- Gender and Number Agreement
- Remember to adjust the ending of 'खर्चीला' to match the noun:
- Masculine Singular: खर्चीला (kharchīlā) - e.g., यह शहर खर्चीला है। (This city is expensive.)
- Feminine Singular: खर्चीली (kharchīlī) - e.g., यह पार्टी बहुत खर्चीली थी। (This party was very expensive.)

- Everyday Conversations
- You'll hear 'खर्चीला' frequently in casual chats about finances. Friends might discuss how their new apartment is more 'खर्चीला' than they expected due to utility bills, or how a particular restaurant has 'खर्चीला' but delicious food. It's a common term when people are budgeting or lamenting the cost of things.
Oh man, living in this city has become very expensive!अरे यार, इस शहर में रहना बहुत खर्चीला हो गया है!
- Discussions about Goods and Services
- When comparing products or services, 'खर्चीला' is used to emphasize the long-term financial commitment. For example, someone might say a particular brand of electronic gadget is 'खर्चीला' because of the costly accessories and software updates required, even if the initial price seems reasonable.
This air conditioner is very expensive (in terms of electricity consumption); the electricity bill is very high.यह एयर कंडीशनर बहुत खर्चीला है, बिजली का बिल बहुत आता है।
- Media and News
- News reports and articles discussing economic trends, cost of living, or the financial impact of certain policies often use 'खर्चीला'. For instance, a report on the rising cost of healthcare might describe it as a 'खर्चीला' sector.
Implementing government schemes is often expensive.सरकारी योजनाओं को लागू करना अक्सर खर्चीला होता है।
- Confusing with 'महँगा' (mahangā)
- The most common mistake is using 'खर्चीला' interchangeably with 'महँगा' when the nuance of ongoing costs isn't intended. 'महँगा' simply means expensive (high price), while 'खर्चीला' implies high running costs, maintenance, or a generally costly nature over time.
Incorrect: This book is very expensive (implying ongoing costs, which doesn't fit a book).Mistake: यह किताब बहुत खर्चीला है।
Correct: This book is very expensive (referring to its purchase price).Correct: यह किताब बहुत महँगी है।
- Ignoring Gender and Number Agreement
- Like many Hindi adjectives, 'खर्चीला' needs to agree with the noun it describes. Forgetting to change the ending (e.g., using 'खर्चीला' for a feminine noun) is a common error.
Incorrect: That car is very expensive (using masculine for feminine 'कार').Mistake: वह कार बहुत खर्चीला है।
Correct: That car is very expensive (using feminine for feminine 'कार').Correct: वह कार बहुत खर्चीली है।
- Overusing for Simple Price
- Sometimes learners might use 'खर्चीला' when simply stating that something has a high price tag, without necessarily implying ongoing costs. While not strictly wrong, 'महँगा' is often more direct and appropriate in such cases.
Less ideal: This shirt is very expensive (suggests high upkeep for a shirt).Mistake: यह शर्ट बहुत खर्चीला है।
Better: This shirt is very expensive (referring to its price).Better: यह शर्ट बहुत महँगा है।
- महँगा (mahangā)
- Meaning: Expensive, costly (general term for high price).
- Usage: This is the most common and direct translation for 'expensive'. It refers to a high purchase price or cost.
- Example: यह घड़ी बहुत महँगी है। (This watch is very expensive.)
- Comparison with खर्चीला: 'महँगा' focuses on the price tag. 'खर्चीला' focuses on the ongoing costs associated with something.
- भारी (bhārī)
- Meaning: Heavy, burdensome, substantial (can imply cost in certain contexts).
- Usage: While primarily meaning heavy, 'भारी' can be used colloquially to describe a significant financial burden or cost, similar to 'खर्चीला' but less direct and more informal.
- Example: इस साल का टैक्स बहुत भारी था। (This year's tax was very heavy/substantial/costly.)
- Comparison with खर्चीला: 'भारी' is broader and can refer to any significant burden, not just financial. 'खर्चीला' specifically targets financial expenditure.
- अतिरिक्त व्यय (atirikt vyay)
- Meaning: Additional expense.
- Usage: This is a noun phrase and refers to an extra cost incurred. It's not an adjective like 'खर्चीला'.
- Example: मरम्मत में अतिरिक्त व्यय हुआ। (There was an additional expense in repairs.)
- Comparison with खर्चीला: 'अतिरिक्त व्यय' describes a specific instance of spending, whereas 'खर्चीला' describes the nature of something as being costly over time.
- लागत (lāgat)
- Meaning: Cost, expense.
- Usage: This noun refers to the total cost or expense of something. It's used when discussing the financial outlay.
- Example: इस प्रोजेक्ट की लागत बहुत अधिक है। (The cost of this project is very high.)
- Comparison with खर्चीला: 'लागत' is the expense itself, while 'खर्चीला' describes something that incurs high costs.
How Formal Is It?
Dato curioso
The suffix '-ईला' (-īlā) is very productive in Hindi and is used to create many adjectives describing characteristics. For example, 'ज़हरीला' (zahrīlā - poisonous) from 'ज़हर' (zahar - poison), and 'रंगीला' (rangīlā - colorful) from 'रंग' (rang - color). The use of '-ईला' with 'खर्च' clearly signifies something that incurs significant spending.

Cómo usarlo
Common
-
Using 'खर्चीला' for a high purchase price only.
→
Using 'महँगा' for purchase price, and 'खर्चीला' for ongoing costs.
'खर्चीला' specifically implies high running or maintenance costs. If something is just expensive to buy but cheap to run, 'महँगा' is better. Example: This phone is 'महँगा' (expensive to buy), but not 'खर्चीला' (expensive to use).
-
Incorrect gender/number agreement.
→
Matching the adjective ending to the noun.
Forgetting to change the ending of 'खर्चीला' based on the noun's gender and number is common. E.g., 'यह कार बहुत खर्चीला है' is wrong; it should be 'यह कार बहुत खर्चीली है'.
-
Confusing 'खर्चीला' with 'भारी'.
→
Using 'खर्चीला' for ongoing costs and 'भारी' for a general significant burden or one-time large cost.
'भारी' can mean heavy or a significant burden, including financial. However, 'खर्चीला' is more specific to continuous expenditure. Example: 'यह बिल बहुत भारी है' (This bill is very heavy/large), but 'यह कार खर्चीला है' (This car is expensive to run).
-
Using 'खर्चीला' when 'व्यय' or 'लागत' (nouns) would be more appropriate.
→
Using 'व्यय' or 'लागत' when referring to the expense itself, and 'खर्चीला' when describing the item/situation.
'खर्चीला' is an adjective. You can't say 'यह खर्चीला है' if you mean 'The expense is high'. You'd say 'इसका व्यय/इसकी लागत अधिक है'. But you can say 'यह चीज़ खर्चीला है' (This thing is expensive to run).
-
Applying 'खर्चीला' to people directly and judgmentally.
→
Describing lifestyles or habits as 'खर्चीला', or using it neutrally.
Calling someone directly 'खर्चीला' can sound rude. It's better to say their 'जीवनशैली खर्चीला है' (lifestyle is expensive) or that they have 'खर्चीले शौक' (expensive hobbies).
Consejos

Nuance Matters: 'खर्चीला' vs. 'महँगा'

Context is King
Listen to how native speakers use 'खर्चीला'. It's commonly applied to cars, lifestyles, housing, and services that have significant recurring expenses. Try to use it in similar contexts.

Origen de la palabra
The word 'खर्चीला' (kharchīlā) is derived from the Hindi noun 'खर्च' (kharch), which means 'expense' or 'spending'. The suffix '-ईला' (-īlā) is commonly used in Hindi to form adjectives, indicating a quality or tendency. Therefore, 'खर्चीला' literally means 'having the quality of expense' or 'prone to expense'.
Significado original: Characterized by expense; costly.
Indo-Aryan (Indo-European)Contexto cultural
When discussing someone's finances or lifestyle, using 'खर्चीला' should be done with sensitivity. It's generally acceptable to describe objects, services, or general situations as 'खर्चीला', but directly calling a person's lifestyle 'खर्चीला' without context might sound judgmental.
In English-speaking cultures, the concept of 'expensive' is broadly covered by 'expensive', 'costly', 'pricey', and 'high-maintenance'. The nuance of 'खर्चीला' focusing on ongoing costs is often captured by phrases like 'high operating costs' or 'costly to run'.
