توضیح कटा in your Level:

At the A1 level, you only need to know 'कटा' (kaṭā) as a simple adjective for physical objects. Think of it as the word for 'cut' when you are talking about food or basic injuries. You will mostly see it in the context of 'कटा हुआ' (cut/chopped). For example, if you see a plate of fruit, you can say 'कटा हुआ फल' (cut fruit). At this stage, focus on the masculine singular form 'कटा' and how it changes to 'कटी' for feminine things like 'सब्जी' (vegetable) or 'उंगली' (finger). It is a very useful word for shopping at the market or describing a small accident in the kitchen. Just remember: it describes the state of something after it has been sliced with a knife or scissors. It is one of the first adjectives you will learn to describe the condition of an object.

At the A2 level, you start using 'कटा' in more varied daily situations. You will learn that it's not just for food, but also for utilities and communication. For instance, if your phone call drops, you can understand when someone says 'कॉल कट गई' (The call got cut). You also use it to describe injuries more accurately, like 'मेरा हाथ कटा है' (My hand is cut). You should begin to notice the difference between 'कटा' (cut) and 'फटा' (torn). A2 learners should also be comfortable with the plural form 'कटे' (kaṭe), such as 'कटे हुए पेड़' (cut trees). This level involves understanding that 'कटा' describes the result of an action that has already happened. You might also encounter it in phrases like 'टिकट कटाना' which means to get a ticket issued or booked.

At the B1 level, you move into the metaphorical and idiomatic uses of 'कटा'. You will hear people use 'कटा-कटा' to describe someone who is socially withdrawn or acting distant. For example, 'वह आजकल सबसे कटा-कटा रहता है' (These days he remains cut off from everyone). You will also encounter 'कटा' in more complex administrative contexts, such as 'बिजली का कनेक्शन कट गया' (The electricity connection was cut). You should be able to use it in the passive sense to describe systemic actions, like a name being 'cut' (removed) from a list. B1 learners should also recognize the word in the context of Indian culture, specifically the 'कटी पतंग' (cut kite) metaphor, which appears frequently in stories and films to represent someone who has lost their way or is adrift.

At the B2 level, you should be able to distinguish between the various nuances of 'कटा' and its synonyms like 'विच्छेदित' (disconnected) or 'पृथक' (separated). You will use 'कटा' in professional contexts, such as discussing deductions in a salary ('तनख्वाह में से पैसे कटे हैं') or the 'cutting' of a deal. You can handle the word in complex sentence structures, including conditional sentences like 'अगर तार कटा हुआ मिला, तो बिजली नहीं आएगी' (If the wire is found cut, the electricity won't come). Your understanding of the word's social implications deepens, allowing you to discuss alienation, social boundaries, and the 'cutting' of ties between people or organizations with nuance and appropriate emotional weight.

At the C1 level, your use of 'कटा' becomes sophisticated and stylistically varied. You can use the word in literary analysis to describe 'fragmented' narratives or characters who are 'severed' from their heritage. You understand the historical and political connotations, such as 'कटा हुआ देश' referring to a partitioned nation. You can use 'कटा' in high-level debates about social exclusion or economic 'cuts' (deductions) with precision. You are also familiar with obscure idioms and poetic uses where 'कटा' might describe the 'cutting' of time or the 'severing' of a karmic cycle. Your ability to switch between the literal, the administrative, and the highly metaphorical is seamless at this stage.

At the C2 level, you have a masterly grasp of 'कटा' and can use it to convey subtle shades of meaning in any register. You can use it in legal contexts regarding the 'severance' of contracts or in philosophical discourse regarding the 'cut' between the self and the external world. You are able to appreciate and use the word in wordplay, puns, and complex metaphors in creative writing. You understand the deep cultural resonance of the word in South Asian history, particularly in the context of the 1947 Partition, where 'कटा' takes on a heavy, tragic meaning. You can use the word's various forms and derivations to construct eloquent, persuasive, and nuanced arguments or artistic expressions.

कटा در ۳۰ ثانیه

KATA means 'cut' or 'chopped' and is used for food, injuries, and physical objects.
It changes to KATI for feminine nouns and KATE for plural masculine nouns.
Metaphorically, it describes someone who is socially isolated or 'cut off' from others.
In daily life, it refers to disconnected utilities like electricity or dropped phone calls.

The Hindi word कटा (kaṭā) is an adjective that primarily translates to 'cut,' 'chopped,' or 'severed' in English. It is the perfective participle of the verb काटना (kāṭnā), which means 'to cut.' However, its usage in Hindi is far more expansive than its literal English counterpart. At its most basic level, it describes a physical state of an object that has been divided by a sharp tool. For instance, if you walk into an Indian kitchen, you might see कटा हुआ प्याज (chopped onion) or कटा हुआ फल (cut fruit) waiting to be served. The word changes its form based on the gender and number of the noun it describes: कटा (masculine singular), कटी (feminine singular), and कटे (masculine plural/respectful).

Physical State: Describes items like paper, cloth, or vegetables that have been physically sliced. Example: 'कटा हुआ काग़ज़' (Cut paper).
Injury: Refers to a wound or a gash on the body. Example: 'कटा हुआ हाथ' (A cut hand).
Disconnection: Used for utilities or communication lines that have been severed or stopped. Example: 'फोन कटा हुआ है' (The phone is disconnected).

Beyond the physical, कटा carries profound metaphorical weight. It can describe a person who feels isolated or alienated from their community or family. In this context, you might hear someone say, वह सबसे कटा-कटा रहता है, meaning 'He remains cut off from everyone.' This suggests a sense of social withdrawal or emotional distance. It is also used in the context of tickets or receipts; a कटा हुआ टिकट (issued/booked ticket) implies that the transaction is finalized. In the world of kite flying, a popular sport in India, कटी पतंग (a cut kite) refers to a kite whose string has been severed by a competitor, a term so iconic it has become a metaphor for someone lost or without direction in life.

मेज पर कटा हुआ सेब रखा है। (A cut apple is kept on the table.)

In commercial settings, this word is frequently encountered. When electricity is cut off due to unpaid bills, the common phrase is बिजली कटी है. In tailoring, it refers to fabric that has been measured and sliced according to a pattern. Interestingly, it is also used for insect bites; while we say 'bitten' in English, in Hindi, one might say मच्छर का कटा (a mosquito's cut/bite mark). This versatility makes it a foundational word for any learner navigating daily life in a Hindi-speaking environment.

Using कटा correctly requires an understanding of Hindi's grammatical agreement rules. As an adjective derived from a verb, it must mirror the gender and number of the noun it modifies. This is the most crucial step for learners transitioning from English, where 'cut' remains static regardless of the object. For a masculine singular noun like पेड़ (tree), you use कटा. For a feminine singular noun like सब्जी (vegetable), you use कटी. For plural masculine nouns like पेड़ (trees), you use कटे.

Masculine Singular: यह रास्ता कटा हुआ है। (This path is cut off/severed.)
Feminine Singular: उसकी उंगली कटी है। (Her finger is cut.)
Masculine Plural: सारे तार कटे हुए हैं। (All the wires are cut.)

A common sentence pattern involves the addition of the auxiliary verb हुआ (huā), which acts like 'is in the state of being.' Saying कटा हुआ emphasizes the result of the action. For example, कटा हुआ फल (fruit that is in a cut state). This is particularly useful when you want to distinguish between the action of cutting and the current state of the object. In more advanced usage, the word is doubled (कटा-कटा) to intensify the meaning of isolation. वह समाज से कटा-कटा रहता है translates to 'He lives in a state of being completely cut off from society,' implying a habitual or deep-seated isolation.

बाज़ार से कटा हुआ मांस मत खरीदना। (Don't buy cut meat from the market.)

When discussing phone calls, if the line drops suddenly, you might say फोन कट गया (The phone got cut) or आवाज़ कटी-कटी आ रही है (The voice is coming through in a 'cut' or fragmented way). This use for audio clarity is something every learner will find helpful during video calls or mobile conversations. Another important context is the 'issuance' of documents. In Hindi, when a traffic fine is issued, it is 'cut.' मेरा चालान कटा है literally means 'My fine has been cut,' but translates to 'I have been fined.'

If you are in an Indian city, you will hear कटा in a variety of vibrant, everyday contexts. One of the most common places is the local Sabzi Mandi (vegetable market). Customers often ask for कटा हुआ कद्दू (pre-cut pumpkin) or complain about a कटा हुआ आलू (a potato that has a cut or rot mark). In this environment, the word is purely functional and descriptive of the goods being sold. Similarly, at a butcher shop, you'll specify how you want the meat cut using this word.

Another very frequent setting is in the realm of bureaucracy and administration. If you go to a railway station, you might ask क्या मेरा टिकट कट गया है? (Has my ticket been cut/issued?). Here, 'cut' refers to the physical act of tearing a ticket from a book or the digital act of finalizing a reservation. Likewise, in traffic, if a policeman pulls you over, the dreaded phrase is आपका चालान कटेगा (Your fine will be issued). It is also heard during power outages, which are common in some parts of South Asia. Neighbors will shout across balconies, क्या बिजली कट गई? (Has the electricity been cut?).

In the Kitchen: Asking if the vegetables are ready: 'क्या सब्जियां कटी हुई हैं?'
In a Tailor Shop: Discussing fabric: 'यह कपड़ा यहाँ से कटा है।' (This cloth is cut from here.)
During Sports: Kite flying: 'वो काटा!' (I cut that one!) - used when one kite cuts another's string.

मेरा हाथ गलती से कटा है, पट्टी कहाँ है? (My hand is accidentally cut, where is the bandage?)

In emotional or literary contexts, you will hear it in Bollywood songs and poetry. The 'cut kite' (कटी पतंग) is a legendary trope representing a broken heart or a lost soul. You might hear someone describe a person's behavior as कटा-कटा if they are being unusually quiet or distant at a party. This social nuance is important for intermediate learners to grasp, as it moves the word from the kitchen to the heart of human relationships. Finally, in the digital age, a 'cut' call (कॉल कट गई) is perhaps the most frequent use of the word among the youth.

The most frequent mistake English speakers make with कटा is failing to adjust for gender and number. In English, 'cut' is an invariant adjective. In Hindi, saying कटा उंगली (cut finger) is grammatically incorrect because 'finger' (उंगली) is feminine. The correct form is कटी उंगली. Similarly, for plural items like 'cut wires,' using the singular कटा तार instead of कटे तार will sound unnatural to native speakers.

Another point of confusion is the difference between the adjective कटा and the verb काटना. Learners often use the verb where the adjective is needed. For example, if you want to say 'The bread is cut,' don't say ब्रेड काटना है (The bread has to be cut); instead, say ब्रेड कटा हुआ है. The first implies an action that needs to happen, while the second describes the current state.

Confusion with 'Bitten': English speakers look for a word like 'bitten' for mosquitoes. In Hindi, 'मच्छर का कटा' (mosquito's cut) is the standard way to describe a bite mark.
Metaphorical Misuse: Using 'कटा' to mean 'to reduce' in price. While related, for price reduction, 'कम' (less) or 'छूट' (discount) is more common, though 'पैसे कट गए' (money was deducted) is correct for bank transactions.

Lastly, learners sometimes confuse कटा with फटा (phaṭā - torn). While both describe damage, कटा implies a sharp slice (like a knife), whereas फटा implies a rip or a burst (like a balloon or a shirt catching on a nail). If you tell a tailor your shirt is कटा, he will look for a clean slice; if you say फटा, he will look for a jagged tear. Distinguishing these two is vital for clear communication.

While कटा is the most versatile word for 'cut,' several synonyms and related terms can add precision to your Hindi. Understanding these nuances will help you sound more like a native speaker. For instance, if you are talking specifically about something being 'severed' or 'separated' in a formal or technical sense, the word पृथक (pṛthak) or अलग (alag) might be more appropriate, though they don't imply the act of cutting itself.

चीरा (Chīrā): Specifically refers to a surgical cut or a long slit. Used in medical contexts like 'ऑपरेशन का चीरा'.
खंडित (Khaṇḍit): Means 'broken into pieces' or 'fragmented.' Used for idols, statues, or abstract concepts like 'peace.'
टुकड़ा (Tukṛā): A noun meaning 'piece.' Instead of saying 'कटा हुआ सेब,' you could say 'सेब का टुकड़ा' (a piece of apple).

In the context of 'disconnected' utilities, कटा is the informal standard, but विच्छेदित (vicchēdit) is the formal, technical term you might see on an official notice from the electricity board. For social isolation, instead of कटा-कटा, you could use एकांतप्रिय (ēkāntapriya - someone who loves solitude) or अकेला (akēlā - alone), though these lack the nuance of being 'cut off' from others. Knowing when to use कटा versus its synonyms allows you to navigate different registers of the language, from a street market to a formal business meeting.

यह कपड़ा कटा नहीं है, यह तो फटा हुआ है। (This cloth is not cut; it is torn.)

Lastly, consider the word छँटा (chhăṇṭā). It sounds similar but means 'sorted' or 'selected.' Be careful not to confuse them, especially in a market where you might be 'sorting' good vegetables from 'cut' ones. By mastering कटा and its alternatives, you gain a powerful tool for describing the physical and emotional world around you.

ریشه کلمه

Derived from the Sanskrit root 'कृत्' (kṛt), which means to cut, divide, or sever. Over centuries, this evolved through Prakrit into the Modern Hindi verb 'काटना' and its participle 'कटा'.

معنای اصلی: To divide into parts using a sharp instrument.

Indo-Aryan

بافت فرهنگی

Be careful when using 'कटा' to describe people; while 'कटा-कटा रहना' is common, calling someone 'कटा हुआ' directly can sound like you are describing them as physically mutilated if the context isn't clear.

English speakers use 'cut' for many things, but Hindi uses 'कटा' specifically for the state. English 'cut' can be a verb, noun, or adjective; 'कटा' is strictly the adjective/participle.

'Kati Patang' (1970) - A famous Bollywood film starring Rajesh Khanna. 'Wo Kaata!' - The iconic shout during kite festivals. The phrase 'नाक कटवा दी' (You made us lose face) is a common trope in Indian family dramas.
