Now, let's see how to use बैर in Hindi sentences. Remember, it's a masculine noun, so any adjectives or verbs connected to it will usually follow masculine grammatical rules.
§ Basic Usage with 'रखना' (to keep)
One common way to use बैर is with the verb 'रखना' (rakhnā), which means 'to keep' or 'to hold'. When combined, 'बैर रखना' means 'to hold enmity' or 'to bear a grudge'.
वह किसी से बैर नहीं रखता।
(He does not hold enmity with anyone. / He doesn't bear a grudge against anyone.)
दोनों देशों के बीच पुराना बैर है।
(There is old enmity between both countries.)
§ Expressing the Existence of Enmity
You can also use बैर with verbs like 'होना' (honā - to be) to state that enmity exists, or 'बढ़ना' (baṛhnā - to increase) to describe growing hostility.

(There has been enmity in their family for years.)
उनकी बातों से बैर बढ़ गया।
(His words increased the hostility / enmity.)
§ Using with Postpositions
When expressing enmity towards someone, you will often use postpositions like 'से' (se - with/from) or 'के प्रति' (ke prati - towards). While 'से' is more common in everyday speech, 'के प्रति' offers a slightly more formal tone.
उसे अपने पड़ोसी से कोई बैर नहीं है।
(He has no enmity with his neighbor.)
जनता का सरकार के प्रति बैर बढ़ रहा है।
(The public's animosity towards the government is increasing.)
§ 'बैर' as a Part of Compounds
Sometimes, बैर can be part of compound words or phrases, like 'बैर भाव' (bair bhāv), which directly translates to 'feelings of enmity'.
- बैर भाव (bair bhāv): Feelings of hostility, animosity.
हमें किसी के प्रति बैर भाव नहीं रखना चाहिए।
(We should not harbor feelings of enmity towards anyone.)
§ Important things to remember about 'बैर':
