Explicación मायूस करना in your Level:
At the A1 level, you should focus on the basic meaning: 'to make someone sad or disappointed.' Think of it as 'not happy.' You might not use this word yourself yet, but you will hear it in simple sentences like 'Don't make me sad' (Mujhe mayus mat karo). At this stage, just recognize that 'mayus' is a feeling of being let down. It is often taught alongside other basic emotions like 'khush' (happy) and 'udaas' (sad). You don't need to worry about the complex grammar of 'ne' yet; just focus on the phrase as a whole. Remember: Mayus = Sad/Disappointed, Karna = To do.

At A2, you start using 'mayus karna' in simple past and future tenses. You learn that it is a 'doing' word. You can say things like 'He disappointed me' (Usne mujhe mayus kiya). You should understand the difference between 'mayus hona' (I am sad) and 'mayus karna' (You made me sad). You can use it when talking about simple things like a movie that wasn't good or a friend who didn't come to play. It's a useful word to express your feelings when things don't go as planned. Practice the structure: [Person A] + ne + [Person B] + ko + mayus kiya.

At B1, the target level, you understand the nuance. You know that 'mayus karna' is deeper than just being 'udaas' (sad). It involves expectations. You can use it in more complex sentences with 'agar' (if) or 'kyonki' (because). For example: 'If you don't study, you will disappoint your parents' (Agar tum padhai nahi karoge, toh tum apne mata-pita ko mayus karoge). You also start to notice this word in Hindi songs and movies. You understand that it's a transitive verb and requires the 'ko' marker for the person who is feeling disappointed.
At B2, you can use 'mayus karna' in abstract contexts. You might talk about how a government's decision disappointed the public or how a book's ending was disheartening. You are comfortable with all tenses and moods, including the subjunctive ('I hope I don't disappoint you' - Ummeed hai ki main aapko mayus na karoon). You also begin to distinguish between 'mayus karna' and its synonyms like 'hatotsahit karna' (to discourage) based on the context. You can use it to describe social and political disappointments, not just personal ones.

You can discuss the cultural implications of 'mayus' in South Asian literature, particularly how it relates to the concept of 'aas' (hope). Your usage is precise, and you never confuse it with 'nirash karna' unless you specifically want a less emotional tone.

मायूस करना en 30 segundos

  • To disappoint or dishearten someone.
  • A compound verb used for emotional let-downs.
  • Common in songs, movies, and daily life.
  • Requires 'ko' for the person being disappointed.
The Hindi verb मायूस करना (māyūs karnā) is a compound verb that carries a significant emotional weight. At its core, it means to disappoint or to dishearten someone. However, unlike the more clinical or common term 'nirash karna,' 'mayus karna' often implies a deeper sense of sorrow or the extinguishing of a flicker of hope. It is derived from the Urdu/Persian word 'mayus,' which means despondent or hopeless. When you use this phrase, you are describing an action where one person's behavior, a specific outcome, or a situation causes another person to feel a heavy sense of let-down. It is used extensively in literature, music, and daily conversation to express the pain of unmet expectations.
Register
This word sits comfortably between neutral and formal registers. It is very common in poetic contexts (Shayari) but is also used in everyday speech when discussing serious emotions.
Emotional Intensity
High. It suggests a movement from a state of expectation or hope to a state of sadness.
In a social context, telling someone 'Mujhe mayus mat karna' (Don't disappoint me) is a way of placing trust in them while acknowledging the vulnerability of your own hope. It is often used by parents towards children, or between close friends and partners.

तुम्हारी इस हरकत ने मुझे बहुत मायूस किया है। (Your action has disappointed me greatly.)

नतीजों ने खिलाड़ियों को मायूस कर दिया। (The results disheartened the players.)

क्या तुम मुझे फिर से मायूस करोगे? (Will you disappoint me again?)

उम्मीद है कि यह फिल्म दर्शकों को मायूस नहीं करेगी। (Hopefully, this film will not disappoint the audience.)

बारिश ने किसानों को मायूस कर दिया। (The rain disappointed the farmers.)

Synonym Comparison
Nirash karna is general; Mayus karna is more emotional; Dil todna is specifically for heartbreak or deep trust issues.
Cultural Nuance
In South Asian culture, 'mayus' is a heavy word often used in religious or spiritual contexts to mean losing faith in God's mercy, which is considered a sin in some traditions. Therefore, the word carries a weight of ultimate sadness.
To master this word, think of it as 'taking the light out of someone's eyes.' It is the active process of turning someone's hope into despair.
Using मायूस करना correctly requires understanding its transitive nature. In Hindi grammar, because it is a transitive verb phrase, the person being disappointed is usually followed by the postposition 'ko' (को). For example, 'Sita ne Ram ko mayus kiya' (Sita disappointed Ram). If you are speaking in the past tense (Perfective aspect), the verb will agree with the object if the subject is marked with 'ne.' However, since 'karna' is part of a conjunct verb, the rules of 'ne' apply strictly.
Subject-Object Agreement
In 'Maine use mayus kiya,' the verb 'kiya' is masculine singular because the action 'karna' is treated as the primary verb element here. Even if the object is female, we generally say 'mayus kiya' unless referring to a feminine noun specifically as the object of 'karna,' which is rare in this compound.

मुझे मायूस मत करना, मैंने तुम पर बहुत भरोसा किया है। (Don't disappoint me, I have trusted you a lot.)

उसकी बातों ने सबको मायूस कर दिया। (His words disappointed everyone.)

क्या मेरी सफलता तुम्हें मायूस करेगी? (Will my success disappoint you?)

सरकार की नई नीतियों ने जनता को मायूस किया है। (The government's new policies have disappointed the public.)

वह कभी किसी को मायूस नहीं करता। (He never disappoints anyone.)

Tense Variations
Present: Mayus karta hai. Past: Mayus kiya. Future: Mayus karega. Continuous: Mayus kar raha hai.
Common Subjects
Common subjects that 'mayus karna' include: results (natije), behavior (vyavhar), weather (mausam), and expectations (ummeed).
You should also note that 'mayus karna' can be used in the passive sense: 'Mujhe mayus kiya gaya' (I was disappointed/made hopeless). This emphasizes the victim of the disappointment rather than the cause.
You will encounter मायूस करना in several distinct environments. Firstly, in Bollywood cinema and music, specifically in 'Dard-e-Dil' (heartache) songs. When a lover fails to show up or breaks a promise, the lyrics often revolve around 'mayus karna.' Secondly, in news reporting, particularly during election cycles or sports tournaments. If a popular team loses, the headline might read 'Bharat ki haar ne prashansakon ko mayus kiya' (India's defeat disappointed the fans).
Social Context
In family gatherings, it is used to express high expectations. A grandfather might say to a grandchild, 'I hope your grades won't disappoint me' (Mujhe mayus mat karna).

फिल्म की कहानी ने दर्शकों को काफी मायूस किया। (The film's story disappointed the audience significantly.)

भगवान कभी अपने भक्तों को मायूस नहीं करते। (God never disappoints His devotees.)

इस खराब सर्विस ने हमें मायूस कर दिया। (This poor service disappointed us.)

तुमने मुझे अपनी बातों से मायूस कर दिया है। (You have disappointed me with your words.)

उम्मीदों का टूटना ही इंसान को मायूस करता है। (The breaking of hopes is what disappoints a person.)

Media Usage
Cricket commentary is a prime place for this. 'Is over ne fans ko mayus kiya' (This over disappointed the fans).
Religious Nuance
In Sufi poetry, 'mayus na hona' (not being disappointed) is a core theme regarding divine mercy.
Hearing this word usually signals a shift in tone from optimistic to somber. It is a 'heavy' word, used when 'sad' (udaas) is too light and 'angry' (gussa) is not quite right.
One of the most frequent errors learners make is confusing मायूस करना (to disappoint) with मायूस होना (to be disappointed). 'Karna' is an action you perform on others, while 'hona' is a state you enter yourself. For example, 'Main mayus hua' (I became disappointed) vs 'Usne mujhe mayus kiya' (He disappointed me).
Preposition Errors
Learners often forget the 'ko' (को). Saying 'Tum mujhe mayus kiya' is wrong; it must be 'Tumne mujhe mayus kiya.'

Incorrect: मैं तुमको मायूस हुआ। (I disappointed you - grammatically wrong). Correct: मैंने तुम्हें मायूस किया।

Incorrect: यह खबर मुझे मायूस है। Correct: यह खबर मुझे मायूस करती है।

Incorrect: वह बहुत मायूस किया है। Correct: वह बहुत मायूस है (He is disappointed) or 'Usne mayus kiya' (He disappointed [someone]).

Incorrect: क्या तुम मायूस करोगे? Correct: क्या तुम मुझे मायूस करोगे? (Needs an object).

Incorrect: बारिश ने मुझे मायूस किया। (Technically correct, but 'nirash kiya' is more common for objects like rain, whereas 'mayus' is more for people/actions).

Gender Agreement
Since 'karna' is the verb, in 'Usne mujhe mayus kiya,' 'kiya' stays masculine unless you are using a different construction. Avoid changing 'mayus' itself; it is an adjective that doesn't change for gender.
Another mistake is overusing it for trivial things. If you forgot to buy milk, saying 'Maine tumhe mayus kiya' sounds overly dramatic. Use 'nirash' or just 'sorry' for small things.
While मायूस करना is a beautiful and evocative term, Hindi offers several alternatives depending on the level of formality and the specific emotion you want to convey. The most direct synonym is निराश करना (nirāsh karnā). While 'mayus' has Persian roots, 'nirash' has Sanskrit roots. 'Nirash' is slightly more common in textbooks and formal news, whereas 'mayus' is more common in literature and emotional speech.
निराश करना (Nirash Karna)
Standard 'to disappoint.' Used for exams, sports, and business. Less poetic than mayus.
हतोत्साहित करना (Hatotsahit Karna)
Literally 'to discourage' or 'to take away enthusiasm.' Very formal. Used in educational or professional contexts.

उसने मेरा दिल तोड़ दिया। (He broke my heart - much stronger than mayus karna.)

तुमने मेरी उम्मीदों पर पानी फेर दिया। (You poured water on my hopes - an idiom for disappointing someone's plans.)

शिक्षक ने छात्र को हतोत्साहित नहीं किया। (The teacher did not discourage the student.)

वह अपनी हार से पस्त हो गया। (He was dejected by his defeat - 'past' is even heavier than mayus.)

उसे उदास करना आसान है। (It is easy to make him sad - 'udaas' is simpler sadness.)

Register Comparison Table
Mayus Karna: Poetic/Heavy; Nirash Karna: Neutral/Common; Dil Todna: Informal/Emotional; Hatotsahit Karna: Academic/Formal.
Choosing the right word depends on the relationship. You 'mayus' your parents, you 'nirash' your boss, and you 'dil tod' your partner.

How Formal Is It?

Dato curioso

Afroasiatic (Arabic) -> Indo-Aryan (Hindi/Urdu).

Contexto cultural

Be careful using this word for very small things, as it might sound overly dramatic or manipulative.

In English, 'to disappoint' can be very casual ('The burger disappointed me'). In Hindi, 'mayus karna' is slightly heavier and more personal.

Numerous Bollywood songs like 'Ae Dil Mujhe Aisi Jagah Le Chal' mention mayusi. Mirza Ghalib's poetry often explores the state of 'mayusi'. Political speeches often use this to criticize opponents: 'Unhone janta ko mayus kiya'.
