आवाज़ در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Aawaaz means 'voice' or 'sound' in Hindi.
- It is a feminine noun, so use 'aapki' or 'meri'.
- It can mean volume on a phone or TV.
- Common idioms include 'raising a voice' for protest.
The Hindi word आवाज़ (Aawaaz) is a versatile and essential feminine noun that primarily translates to 'sound' or 'voice' in English. It is a loanword from Persian that has become deeply embedded in the Hindi-Urdu lexicon. At its most basic level, it refers to anything audible to the human ear, whether it is the melodic chirping of a bird, the mechanical hum of an engine, or the complex vocalizations of a human being. However, its usage extends far beyond mere acoustics. In a social and political context, it represents one's agency, opinion, or the act of speaking out against injustice. When you are learning Hindi at the A2 level, understanding the distinction between 'sound' as a physical phenomenon and 'voice' as a personal attribute is crucial. For instance, if you hear a strange noise in the middle of the night, you would use this word. Similarly, if you are complimented on your singing, the compliment is directed at your 'aawaaz'. It is important to note that because the word is feminine, any adjectives or verbs associated with it must agree with its feminine gender. You would say 'achhi aawaaz' (good voice) rather than 'achha aawaaz'. This subtle grammatical nuance is a hallmark of reaching the A2 proficiency level, where you begin to master the gender of common nouns.

Using 'आवाज़' (Aawaaz) correctly involves understanding its grammatical gender and the specific verbs it pairs with. Since it is a feminine noun, you will notice that accompanying adjectives end in 'ee' (like 'pyari', 'bhari', 'dhimi') and verbs reflect this gender in their endings (like 'aa rahi hai', 'sunaai di'). For English speakers, the most common use cases involve describing someone's voice or asking someone to adjust the volume of a device. For example, if you are on a phone call and the connection is poor, you might say, 'Aapki aawaaz nahi aa rahi hai' (Your voice is not coming/I can't hear you). If the person is speaking too softly, you would say, 'Thoda zor se boliye, aapki aawaaz bahut dhimi hai' (Speak a bit louder, your voice is very faint/low). Beyond these literal uses, 'aawaaz' is used in many functional phrases. 'Aawaaz dena' means to call out to someone. If you are in another room and want to get someone's attention, you 'give them a voice'. Another common verb is 'sunaai dena', which means 'to be audible'. Instead of saying 'I hear a sound', Hindi speakers often say 'A sound is giving hearing to me' (Mujhe aawaaz sunaai de rahi hai).
- Describing Quality
- Use feminine adjectives like 'meethi' (sweet), 'kadvi' (harsh), or 'saaf' (clear) to describe the tone.
- Adjusting Volume
- Use 'badhana' (to increase) or 'kam karna' (to decrease) when talking about electronic devices.
- Physical State
- When someone is hoarse, Hindi uses the verb 'baithna' (to sit). 'Meri aawaaz baith gayi hai' means 'My voice has sat down' or 'I have lost my voice'.
बच्चे शोर मचा रहे हैं, उनकी आवाज़ यहाँ तक आ रही है। (The children are making noise, their sound is coming all the way here.)

जब मैंने उसे आवाज़ दी, तो उसने पीछे मुड़कर देखा। (When I called out to him, he looked back.)
In everyday life in India, 'आवाज़' is a word you will hear constantly. In a bustling market (bazaar), you will hear the 'aawaaz' of vendors calling out their prices. In a family setting, a mother might give an 'aawaaz' to her children to come for dinner. In the realm of entertainment, Bollywood is obsessed with the quality of 'aawaaz'. Playback singers are often praised for having a 'jaadui aawaaz' (magical voice). You will also hear it in news broadcasts and political rallies. Phrases like 'Janata ki aawaaz' (The voice of the people) are common slogans used to denote democracy and representation. In modern technology, if you are using a smartphone in Hindi, settings for 'Sound and Vibration' will be labeled as 'Dhwani aur Kampan', but in casual speech, everyone says 'Aawaaz'. If your phone rings, you might say 'Phone ki aawaaz aa rahi hai'. In religious contexts, the 'Azaan' (call to prayer) or the 'aawaaz' of temple bells are central to the soundscape of Indian towns. Even in literature and poetry, 'aawaaz' is used to symbolize the inner conscience or the soul speaking. It is a word that bridges the gap between the physical world of acoustics and the spiritual/metaphorical world of expression.
- In the Market
- 'Bhaiya, zara kam aawaaz mein baat kijiye.' (Brother, please speak in a lower voice.)
- In Cinema
- 'Unki aawaaz mein ek alag hi kashish hai.' (There is a unique attraction in his/her voice.)
- In Politics
- 'Gareebon ki aawaaz dabai nahi ja sakti.' (The voice of the poor cannot be suppressed.)
शहर की आवाज़ में खो जाना आसान है। (It is easy to get lost in the sound of the city.)
मंदिर की घंटियों की आवाज़ सुकून देती है। (The sound of temple bells gives peace.)
The most frequent mistake learners make with 'आवाज़' is treating it as a masculine noun. Because many Hindi nouns ending in consonants are masculine, learners often default to 'Mera aawaaz' or 'Achha aawaaz'. However, 'आवाज़' is strictly feminine. This affects everything: 'Aapki aawaaz' (Your voice), 'Meethi aawaaz' (Sweet voice), 'Aawaaz aa rahi hai' (Sound is coming). Another common error is using 'aawaaz' when 'shor' (noise) is more appropriate. While 'aawaaz' is neutral, 'shor' implies unwanted, loud, or chaotic noise. If you say 'Bachhon ki aawaaz achhi hai', it means you like the sound of the children's voices. If you say 'Bachhe shor kar rahe hain', it means they are being noisy or disruptive. Additionally, learners sometimes confuse 'aawaaz' with 'dhwani'. 'Dhwani' is a more formal, Sanskrit-derived word used in technical or scientific contexts. Using 'dhwani' in a casual conversation about someone's voice would sound very unnatural. Finally, pay attention to the pronunciation of the 'z' sound (ज़). In many parts of India, especially in rural areas, the 'z' is often pronounced as 'j', resulting in 'aawaaj'. While this is common in colloquial speech, the standard pronunciation uses the 'z' sound (nuqta). Using the correct 'z' sound makes your Hindi sound more refined and accurate.
- Gender Error
- Incorrect: 'Tumhara aawaaz bahut bhari hai.' Correct: 'Tumhari aawaaz bahut bhari hai.'
- Vocabulary Confusion
- Confusion between 'Aawaaz' (general sound/voice) and 'Shor' (unpleasant noise).
- Pronunciation
- Avoid saying 'Aawaaj' (with a hard 'j') if you want to follow standard formal Hindi/Urdu pronunciation.
गलत: उसका आवाज़ साफ़ नहीं है। (Incorrect: His voice is not clear - using masculine possessive)
सही: उसकी आवाज़ साफ़ नहीं है। (Correct: His voice is not clear - using feminine possessive)
While 'आवाज़' is the most common word for sound, Hindi offers several alternatives depending on the context and the level of formality. 'Dhwani' (ध्वनि) is the Sanskrit-derived synonym often used in science, linguistics, or high literature. If you are studying the 'sounds' of a language, you would study 'dhwani-vigyan' (phonology). 'Swar' (स्वर) is another important word, specifically referring to a musical note or a vowel sound. When discussing a singer's pitch or the 'vowels' in the Hindi alphabet, 'swar' is used. For unpleasant or loud sounds, 'shor' (शोर) or 'shorgul' (शोरगुल) are used to mean 'noise' or 'commotion'. If the noise is particularly jarring, you might use 'kokahal' (कोलाहल), which is a more literary term for a loud uproar. In the context of a call or a shout, 'pukaar' (पुकार) is used. While 'aawaaz dena' is 'to call out', 'pukaar' is the noun for the call itself, often carrying an emotional or urgent connotation, like a 'call for help'. Understanding these nuances allows you to choose the right word for the right situation, moving your Hindi from basic communication to nuanced expression.
- Dhwani (ध्वनि)
- Formal/Technical word for sound. Used in 'Dhwani pradushan' (Sound/Noise pollution).
- Swar (स्वर)
- Musical note or vowel. Refers to the tonal quality of a voice.
- Shor (शोर)
- Masculine noun for noise. Always implies something loud or bothersome.
संगीत के सात स्वर होते हैं। (There are seven notes in music.)

The word 'आवाज़' (Aawaaz) is your go-to term for anything audible. Whether you are praising a singer's voice, complaining about noise, or asking someone to turn up the TV, this feminine noun is indispensable. Example: 'Aapki aawaaz bahut pyari hai' (Your voice is very lovely).
- Aawaaz means 'voice' or 'sound' in Hindi.
- It is a feminine noun, so use 'aapki' or 'meri'.
- It can mean volume on a phone or TV.

Gender Agreement
Always remember 'Aawaaz' is feminine. Use 'aapki', 'meri', 'uski' and adjectives like 'pyari', 'badi', 'saaf'.
The Nuqta Power
The dot under 'ज' in 'आवाज़' makes it a 'z'. Practice the buzzing sound to sound more like a native speaker.
Volume Control
In Hindi, 'sound' and 'volume' are the same word. 'Aawaaz kam karo' is the standard way to say 'turn it down'.
Call Out
Use 'Aawaaz dena' instead of 'Pukarna' for a more natural, everyday way to say you called someone.
