कारावास

karavas

When you hear the word "कारावास" (kārāvās), think of a place where someone is held against their will, usually as a punishment for a crime. It's the state of being confined, like in a prison or a jail.

This word is often used in legal contexts or when discussing justice. It's a formal way to refer to the act of putting someone in prison or the condition of being there.

In this lesson, we're going to learn how to use the Hindi word कारावास (kārāvās), which means 'imprisonment' or 'captivity'. This is a very practical word to know, especially when talking about legal matters or historical events. It's a noun and falls under the CEFR B1 level, so it's good for intermediate learners.

§ Understanding 'कारावास'

कारावास is often used in contexts related to legal punishment or being held against one's will. It's a formal word, so you'll hear it more in news, legal discussions, or literature rather than everyday casual conversations.

DEFINITION
Imprisonment, the state of being imprisoned; captivity.

§ Basic Sentence Structure

Let's look at some basic ways to use कारावास in sentences. The most common verb you'll see with कारावास is 'to give' or 'to receive' imprisonment, or simply 'to be in imprisonment'.

  • कारावास देना (kārāvās denā) - to give imprisonment (e.g., a judge gives a sentence)
  • कारावास पाना (kārāvās pānā) - to receive imprisonment
  • कारावास में होना (kārāvās men honā) - to be in imprisonment

§ Examples in Sentences

Here are some examples to show you how कारावास works in real sentences. Pay attention to the prepositions and verbs used with it.

न्यायाधीश ने उसे दस साल के कारावास की सज़ा सुनाई। (The judge sentenced him to ten years of imprisonment.)

In this sentence, की सज़ा सुनाई (kī sazā sunāī) means 'pronounced the sentence of'. We use the genitive postposition के (ke) to link 'ten years' to 'imprisonment'.

आतंकवादी को आजीवन कारावास मिला। (The terrorist received life imprisonment.)

Here, आजीवन (ājīvan) means 'lifelong' or 'for life'. The verb मिला (milā) means 'received'.

वह दो साल से कारावास में है। (He has been in imprisonment for two years.)

Notice the use of में (men), which means 'in', and है (hai), the present tense of 'to be'.

गलत आरोप के कारण उसे कारावास का सामना करना पड़ा। (He had to face imprisonment due to false accusations.)

का सामना करना पड़ा (kā sāmnā karnā paṛā) means 'had to face'. The genitive postposition का () connects 'imprisonment' to this phrase.

Here are a few common phrases where कारावास is used:

  • सख्त कारावास (sakht kārāvās) - rigorous imprisonment
  • सामान्य कारावास (sāmānya kārāvās) - simple imprisonment
  • अस्थायी कारावास (asthāyī kārāvās) - temporary imprisonment
