Explicación पसीना आना in your Level:

At the A1 level, you just need to know that 'पसीना आना' (pasina aana) means 'to sweat.' You will mostly use it to talk about the weather. For example, 'गर्मी में पसीना आता है' (It sweats in summer/One sweats in summer). Remember that in Hindi, we don't say 'I sweat,' we say 'To me, sweat comes.' So, you use 'मुझे' (mujhe) for 'me.' It is a simple way to describe how you feel when it is hot outside. You might also hear it when someone is running or playing. It is one of the first physical feeling words you will learn because the weather in India is often very hot!

पसीना आना en 30 segundos

Pasina aana means 'to sweat' and is used with the indirect subject (ko).
It is a masculine singular construction because 'pasina' is the subject.
Commonly used for heat, spicy food, exercise, and nervous situations.
Culturally, it symbolizes hard work, honesty, and physical struggle.

The Hindi verb phrase पसीना आना (pasīnā ānā) literally translates to 'sweat coming' or 'to sweat.' In the Hindi language, many physical sensations are expressed using the verb 'आना' (to come), suggesting that the sensation is something that happens to the person rather than an action the person performs. Understanding this distinction is crucial for English speakers who are used to the active verb 'to sweat.' When you say 'I am sweating' in Hindi, you are essentially saying 'To me, sweat is coming.' This reflects a broader linguistic pattern in Indo-Aryan languages where physiological states like hunger, thirst, sleep, and sweating are treated as external experiences visiting the body.

Literal Meaning: The emergence of perspiration from the pores of the skin, typically due to heat, physical exertion, or stress.
Social Context: Commonly used in daily conversations regarding the weather, especially during the intense Indian summers or the humid monsoon season.

धूप में खड़े रहने से मुझे बहुत पसीना आ रहा है। (Standing in the sun is making me sweat a lot.)

Beyond the physical act of perspiring due to heat, पसीना आना is frequently used to describe a state of nervousness or fear. If someone is being interrogated or is about to give a big presentation and they are visibly anxious, a bystander might say they are 'sweating.' This psychological usage mirrors the English expression 'to break into a cold sweat.' In Hindi culture, sweating is also deeply associated with 'मेहनत' (mehnāt - hard work). The phrase 'पसीने की कमाई' (earnings of sweat) refers to money earned through honest, grueling labor. Therefore, the word carries a connotation of authenticity and effort in a professional or moral context.

मुश्किल सवाल सुनकर छात्र को पसीना आ गया। (The student started sweating after hearing the difficult question.)

Usage in Fitness: In a gym setting, 'पसीना बहाना' (to shed sweat) is a common variant used to indicate a rigorous workout.

In medical contexts, a doctor might ask, 'क्या आपको रात में पसीना आता है?' (Do you sweat at night?). This demonstrates the verb's utility in clinical descriptions. Because India experiences extreme temperatures, the vocabulary surrounding sweating is quite developed. You might hear 'उमस' (umas) meaning humidity, which is the primary cause of 'पसीना आना' in coastal areas like Mumbai or during the North Indian monsoons. The phrase is ubiquitous because the experience is so central to the Indian climate and the value system of hard work.

जिम में एक घंटा मेहनत करने के बाद उसे खूब पसीना आया। (He sweated a lot after working out for an hour in the gym.)

Using पसीना आना correctly involves understanding the 'Subject + को' construction. In Hindi, the person who is sweating is not the grammatical subject of the sentence; 'पसीना' (sweat) is the subject. Therefore, the person is marked with the postposition 'को' (ko). For example, instead of saying 'I sweat,' you say 'To me, sweat comes' (मुझे पसीना आता है). This is a common hurdle for English speakers, but mastering it will make your Hindi sound much more natural and native-like.

Present Continuous: Usage: 'मुझे पसीना आ रहा है' (I am sweating). Notice 'आ रहा है' agrees with 'पसीना' (masculine singular).
Past Tense: Usage: 'उसे बहुत पसीना आया' (He/She sweated a lot). 'आया' is the simple past form.

मसालेदार खाना खाते ही मेरे माथे पर पसीना आने लगा। (As soon as I ate spicy food, sweat started coming onto my forehead.)

The phrase can also be used with different intensifiers. 'बहुत' (a lot), 'हल्का' (light/slight), and 'ज़रा सा' (a little bit) are common. Furthermore, you can specify where the sweating is occurring by using the postposition 'पर' (on). Common locations include 'माथे पर' (on the forehead), 'हथेलियों पर' (on the palms), and 'पीठ पर' (on the back). When someone is very nervous, you might hear 'हथेलियों पर पसीना आना' specifically, as it's a classic sign of anxiety.

क्या आपको बुखार के साथ पसीना भी आता है? (Do you also get sweat along with the fever?)

In more complex sentences, you can use the causative or the 'start to' construction. For instance, 'पसीना आने लगना' means 'to start sweating.' If you want to say something 'makes' you sweat, you use the phrase 'पसीना छुड़ा देना' (to make someone sweat/to exhaust someone). This is often used metaphorically for a difficult task or a tough opponent. For example, 'इस गणित के सवाल ने मेरे पसीने छुड़ा दिए' (This math problem made me sweat/exhausted me).

इंटरव्यू के दौरान उसे घबराहट के कारण पसीना आने लगा। (During the interview, he started sweating due to nervousness.)

Future Tense: Usage: 'अगर तुम दौड़ोगे, तो तुम्हें पसीना आएगा' (If you run, you will sweat).

In India, पसीना आना is a topic of conversation that rivals 'the weather' in the UK. Because of the tropical climate, people are constantly managing their physical comfort. You will hear this phrase in the marketplace when people complain about the 'उमस' (humidity). Shopkeepers might say, 'आज तो बैठ-बैठे ही पसीना आ रहा है' (Today, I'm sweating just sitting here), emphasizing how hot it is even without physical activity. It's a bonding phrase used to share the collective struggle against the heat.

पंखे के नीचे बैठने पर भी मुझे पसीना आ रहा है। (Even sitting under the fan, I am sweating.)

In Bollywood movies and TV dramas, 'पसीना आना' is a visual and verbal cue for several emotions. When a villain is cornered by the hero, the camera often zooms in on his brow to show the 'पसीना.' The dialogue might be, 'क्यों, अब पसीना क्यों आ रहा है?' (Why, why are you sweating now?), implying that the person's guilt or fear is becoming visible. Similarly, in romantic scenes, a character might sweat because they are nervous about confessing their love. It's a versatile tool for storytelling to show internal state through external symptoms.

You will also hear this in sports commentary. Hindi commentators often use the phrase 'पसीना बहाना' (to shed sweat) to describe a player's dedication. 'विराट कोहली ने नेट प्रैक्टिस में काफी पसीना बहाया है' (Virat Kohli has shed a lot of sweat in net practice). Here, it transitions from a simple physiological description to a metaphor for hard work, grit, and determination. It's a high compliment in the context of sports and physical training.

मैच के आखिरी ओवरों में दर्शकों को भी पसीना आने लगा। (In the final overs of the match, even the spectators started sweating [from tension].)

Workplace Usage: In offices, if a project is very demanding, a manager might say, 'इस प्रोजेक्ट को पूरा करने में सबके पसीने छूट जाएंगे' (Everyone will break a sweat/struggle hard to finish this project).

Lastly, in the kitchen, you'll hear it frequently. Cooking over a hot stove in a humid climate is a primary cause of 'पसीना आना.' Mothers and cooks often remark on the heat of the kitchen using this phrase. It's a common part of the domestic vocabulary, often followed by a request for some water or a break from the heat. Understanding this word helps you navigate daily life in India, from the mundane to the emotional.

The most frequent mistake English speakers make with पसीना आना is using the wrong subject-verb agreement. In English, 'I' is the subject of 'I sweat.' In Hindi, if you say 'मैं पसीना आता हूँ' (Main pasina aata hoon), it sounds like you are saying 'I am the sweat that comes,' which is nonsensical. You must use the indirect construction: 'मुझे पसीना आता है' (Mujhe pasina aata hai). This 'ko' (to/for) postposition is essential for many physiological verbs in Hindi.

Mistake 1: Subject Choice: Incorrect: मैं पसीना आ रहा हूँ (Main pasina aa raha hoon). Correct: मुझे पसीना आ रहा है (Mujhe pasina aa raha hai).
Mistake 2: Gender Agreement: Incorrect: उसे पसीना आ रही है (Use pasina aa rahi hai - thinking the person is female). Correct: उसे पसीना आ रहा है (Use pasina aa raha hai - 'pasina' is masculine).

गलत: वह पसीना आ रही है। (Incorrect: She is sweating [feminine verb]). सही: उसे पसीना आ रहा है। (Correct: To her, sweat is coming [masculine verb]).

Another common error is confusing 'पसीना आना' with 'पसीना करना' (to do sweat). While 'sweating' is an action in English, in Hindi, you don't 'do' sweat. There is a phrase 'पसीना बहाना' (to shed sweat), but that is used specifically for intentional hard work or exercise. For the natural, involuntary process of sweating, only 'आना' is appropriate. Using 'करना' will mark you as a beginner who is translating directly from English thought patterns.

Confusing 'पसीना' (sweat) with 'पीसना' (to grind) is also a potential pitfall for learners, as the sounds are somewhat similar. 'मसाला पीसना' means to grind spices, while 'पसीना आना' means to sweat. Mixing these up in a kitchen context could lead to some very funny misunderstandings! Always pay attention to the long 'ee' sound in the second syllable of both words, but the first consonant is different ('P' vs 'P').

सावधान: पसीना (Sweat) और पीसना (To grind) के बीच अंतर समझें।

Mistake 3: Overusing 'Bhut': While 'bahut' (very) is fine, native speakers often use 'पसीने-पसीने होना' (to be drenched in sweat) for emphasis instead of just saying 'bahut pasina aana.'

While पसीना आना is the standard way to say 'to sweat,' Hindi offers several synonyms and related expressions that can add variety and precision to your speech. Depending on the intensity or the context (formal vs. informal), you might choose a different word. For instance, in very formal or scientific Hindi, you might encounter the word 'स्वेद' (swed), which comes from Sanskrit. However, this is rarely used in daily conversation and is mostly found in Ayurvedic texts or formal literature.

पसीने-पसीने होना (Pasīne-pasīne honā): Literally 'to be sweat-sweat.' It means to be completely drenched in sweat. Used when you are soaked through after a run or a long walk in the sun.
पसीना छूटना (Pasīnā chhūṭnā): This usually implies a sudden onset of sweat, often due to fear, shock, or extreme physical weakness. It's more dramatic than 'aana.'

शेर को सामने देखकर शिकारी के पसीने छूट गए। (Seeing the lion in front of him, the hunter broke into a cold sweat.)

Another interesting alternative is 'तर-ब-तर होना' (tar-ba-tar hona), which means to be dripping wet. While it can refer to rain or water, it's frequently used with sweat: 'वह पसीने से तर-ब-तर था' (He was dripping with sweat). This adds a descriptive, almost poetic quality to the sentence. For a more colloquial feel, you might hear 'पसीने से भीग जाना' (to get soaked with sweat). This is very common in everyday speech when describing the effects of the summer heat.

किसान खेत में अपना पसीना बहाता है ताकि हमें अनाज मिल सके। (The farmer sheds his sweat in the field so that we can get grain.)

In a medical or formal setting, the term 'प्रस्वेदन' (prasvedan) might be used for the process of perspiration. If you are reading a health blog in Hindi, you might see this term. However, if you use it while talking to a friend, it will sound overly academic. Stick to 'पसीना आना' for 99% of your interactions. Understanding these alternatives helps you recognize the level of formality and the emotional weight of what is being said by native speakers.

पसीजना (Pasījnā): A related verb that means 'to ooze' or 'to be moist.' Metaphorically, it means 'to be moved to pity.' For example, 'उसका दिल पसीज गया' (His heart melted/was moved).

Errores comunes

मैं पसीना आ रहा हूँ (Main pasina aa raha hoon) → मुझे पसीना आ रहा है (Mujhe pasina aa raha hai)
You cannot be the subject of 'sweating' in Hindi. The sweat is the subject that 'comes to' you.
उसे पसीना आ रही है (Use pasina aa rahi hai) → उसे पसीना आ रहा है (Use pasina aa raha hai)
Pasina is masculine. The verb must agree with 'pasina', not the person who is sweating.
मैं पसीना करता हूँ (Main pasina karta hoon) → मुझे पसीना आता है (Mujhe pasina aata hai)
Sweating is not an action you 'do' (karna); it is a state that 'comes' (aana).
पसीना पोछो (Pasina pocho) - without context → अपना पसीना पोछ लो (Apna pasina poch lo)
When telling someone to wipe their sweat, it's more natural to add 'apna' (your own) and the 'lo' auxiliary verb.
Confusing पसीना (Pasina) with पीसना (Pisna) → N/A
Mixing these up can lead to saying 'I am grinding' instead of 'I am sweating'. Pay attention to the 'P' sound.

Consejos

The 'Ko' Rule

Always remember that the person sweating is followed by 'ko'. Never say 'Main pasina aa raha hoon'. It must be 'Mujhe pasina aa raha hai'.

Intensifying

To say you are 'drenched' in sweat, use the phrase 'pasine-pasine hona'. It's much more native-sounding than just saying 'bahut pasina aana'.

Hard Work

If you want to praise someone's hard work, use the phrase 'pasina bahana'. It shows you understand the cultural value of labor in India.

Dental N

The 'n' in pasina is dental, meaning your tongue should touch your upper teeth. This makes your Hindi sound much more authentic.

Medical Context

If you're at a doctor in India, they might ask 'Raat mein pasina aata hai?'. Knowing this helps you answer basic medical history questions.

Long Vowels

Preguntas frecuentes

10 preguntas

In Hindi, many involuntary physical sensations (like hunger, thirst, and sweating) are treated as things that happen 'to' a person. Therefore, the person is the indirect object marked with 'ko', and the sensation itself is the grammatical subject.

Pasina is a masculine noun. This means the verb 'aana' will always be in its masculine form (aata, aa raha, aaya), regardless of the gender of the person who is sweating.

'Pasina aana' is the natural, involuntary act of sweating (due to heat or nervousness). 'Pasina bahana' literally means 'to shed sweat' and is used to describe intentional hard work, labor, or exercise.

You should say 'Mujhe bahut pasina aa raha hai'. 'Mujhe' is the dative form of 'Main', 'bahut' means a lot, and 'aa raha hai' is the present continuous form of 'aana'.

Yes, it is very common to use 'pasina aana' to describe being nervous, anxious, or scared, similar to the English phrase 'breaking into a cold sweat'.

'Umas' means humidity. In India, humidity is a major cause of sweating, so you will often hear people say 'Umas ki wajah se pasina aa raha hai' (Sweating because of the humidity).
