To be in an upright position on one's feet, to stand.
खड़े होना در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Khade hona means to stand or be in an upright position.
- The word 'khada' must change to match the gender and number of the person standing.
- It is used for people, animals, and even parked cars or buildings.
- Culturally, standing is a sign of respect in many Indian social situations.
The Hindi verb phrase खड़े होना (khaṛē hōnā) primarily translates to 'to stand' or 'to be in an upright position.' While it seems straightforward, its usage in Hindi encompasses both the action of moving into a standing position and the state of already being standing. Unlike English, which often uses the progressive 'is standing' to describe a state, Hindi frequently employs the perfective form खड़ा है (is stood) to describe someone currently on their feet. This distinction is vital for learners to grasp early on to sound natural.
- Physical Posture
- The most common use is describing someone's physical orientation. If you are not sitting or lying down, you are 'khade'. For example, 'I have been standing for two hours' would use this verb.
- Social Respect
- In Indian culture, standing up is a significant sign of respect. When a teacher, elder, or guest enters a room, everyone is expected to 'khade hona' immediately. Failing to do so can be perceived as a major social slight.
- Metaphorical Standing
- It is used in idioms like 'apne pairon par khade hona,' which means to be financially independent or self-reliant, much like the English 'to stand on one's own two feet.'
वह पिछले एक घंटे से धूप में खड़ा है। (He has been standing in the sun for the last hour.)
जब अध्यापक आए, तो सब बच्चे खड़े हो गए। (When the teacher arrived, all the children stood up.)
In urban settings, you will hear this word constantly at bus stops, train stations, and in queues. 'Line mein khade ho jao' (Get in the line) is a phrase every traveler in India hears. It also appears in legal or formal contexts, such as 'court mein khade hona' (to stand in court). The verb 'hona' (to be/become) allows this phrase to transition between the state and the action seamlessly. This flexibility is what makes it a CEFR B1 level word; you must understand the context to know if someone is currently standing or is about to stand up. Furthermore, it is used for inanimate objects that are tall or vertical, like a ladder 'khadi hai' against a wall.
क्या आप मेरे लिए थोड़ी देर खड़े हो सकते हैं? (Can you stand for a while for me?)
गाड़ी दरवाजे के सामने खड़ी है। (The car is parked/standing in front of the door.)
- Queueing Culture
- In India, 'khade hona' in long lines is a part of daily life, from buying milk to getting government documents. It implies patience and endurance.
Using 'खड़े होना' correctly requires an understanding of Hindi's aspectual system. Because the phrase consists of an adjective (खड़ा/खड़ी/खड़े) and the auxiliary verb 'होना', the adjective must always agree with the subject in gender and number. This is a common pitfall for English speakers who are used to the unchanging word 'stand'.
- Present Continuous vs. State
- To say 'I am standing' (the state), you say 'Main khada hoon'. To say 'I am standing up' (the action), you say 'Main khada ho raha hoon'. The former uses the perfective participle of state, while the latter uses the continuous form of the verb 'hona'.
वह खिड़की के पास खड़ी है। (She is standing near the window.)
When using the imperative (giving a command), 'khade ho jao' is the standard way to say 'stand up.' The addition of 'jao' (from jana, to go) acts as a compound verb marker, indicating a change of state or the completion of an action. This is much more common than simply saying 'khade ho'.
कृपया अपनी जगह पर खड़े हो जाइए। (Please stand up at your place.)
In the past tense, the verb follows the same agreement rules. 'Main khada tha' (I was standing - masc.) vs 'Main khadi thi' (I was standing - fem.). If you are describing the moment you stood up, you would use the past perfect: 'Main khada ho gaya' (I stood up). The nuances between 'hona' (to be/become) and 'ho jana' (to become/completed action) are essential for reaching B1 and B2 proficiency levels.
- Using with Inanimate Objects
- Buildings, trees, and parked cars also 'stand' in Hindi. 'Mandir pahad par khada hai' (The temple stands on the mountain). This gives the language a very visual, spatial quality.
वहाँ दो पुरानी कारें खड़ी थीं। (Two old cars were standing/parked there.)
You will encounter खड़े होना in almost every facet of Indian life. In the bustling streets of Mumbai or Delhi, traffic police will shout 'Wahan mat khade ho!' (Don't stand there!) to pedestrians blocking the way. In the quiet environment of a village 'panchayat' (council), someone might 'khada hona' to voice a grievance. The word bridges the gap between the mundane and the deeply significant.
- Public Transport
- On a crowded local train, people will ask, 'Kya aap agle station par utrenge ya khade rahenge?' (Will you get off at the next station or remain standing?). Here, 'khade rahena' (to remain standing) is a common variation.
बस में जगह नहीं थी, इसलिए मुझे पूरे रास्ते खड़े होना पड़ा। (There was no space in the bus, so I had to stand the whole way.)
In Bollywood movies, you'll often see a dramatic scene where a hero 'khada hota hai' against injustice. The phrase 'khada hona' is used for standing up for one's rights. For example, 'Zulm ke khilaaf khada hona' means to stand up against oppression. This metaphorical usage is very common in news headlines and political speeches.
वह हमेशा सच के साथ खड़ा होता है। (He always stands with the truth.)
In a religious context, during 'Aarti' (a Hindu ritual of worship), devotees are expected to 'khade hona' as a mark of devotion and readiness to serve the divine. In schools, if a student doesn't know an answer, a teacher might say 'Khade ho jao!' as a mild form of punishment or to encourage focus. Thus, the word carries different weights—from the frustration of a long queue to the solemnity of a prayer or the defiance of a protest.
- Sports
- In cricket, a batsman 'crease par khada hai' (is standing at the crease). Commentators use this constantly to describe the player's position and readiness.
One of the most frequent errors for English speakers is ignoring the gender and number agreement of the word 'खड़ा'. Because 'khada' functions as an adjective in this phrase, it must change to 'khadi' for females and 'khade' for groups or respect. Saying 'Sita khada hai' is grammatically incorrect and sounds jarring to a native speaker.
गलत: वह लड़की वहां खड़ा है। (Wrong: That girl is standing there.)
सही: वह लड़की वहां खड़ी है। (Correct: That girl is standing there.)
Another mistake is confusing 'khade hona' with 'uthna' (to get up). While 'uthna' can mean to stand up from a sitting position, it also means to wake up from sleep. 'Khade hona' specifically refers to the posture. If you tell someone 'Subah jaldi khade ho jao,' it sounds like you want them to stand up in bed, rather than wake up and get out of bed (uth jao).
Learners also struggle with the difference between 'khade hona' (to stand up/be standing) and 'khade rahena' (to remain standing). Use 'rahena' when you want to emphasize the duration or the continuation of the state. If you say 'Main do ghante se khada hoon,' it’s fine, but 'Main do ghante se khada raha' implies you stayed standing despite wanting to sit.
- The 'Parked Car' Confusion
- English speakers often try to find a word for 'parked' and might use 'park karna' (which is correct), but they miss the fact that in passive description, Hindi speakers almost always say the car is 'khadi hai'. Don't say 'Car baithi hai' (The car is sitting)!
While खड़े होना is the most common way to say 'to stand', Hindi offers several nuances through related verbs and synonyms. Depending on the level of formality or the specific action, you might choose a different word.
- उठना (Uthna)
- Means 'to rise' or 'to get up'. It is often used interchangeably with 'khade hona' when moving from a chair to a standing position. However, it also means to wake up.
- खड़ा रहना (Khada Rahena)
- Means 'to remain standing' or 'to keep standing'. Use this to emphasize that the standing position is being maintained over time.
- डटे रहना (Date Rahena)
- A more metaphorical and strong version of standing. It means to 'stand firm' or 'stick to one's guns' in the face of opposition.
वह अपनी बात पर डटा रहा। (He stood firm on his word.)
In very formal or poetic Hindi, you might encounter 'विराजमान होना' (virajman hona). While this usually means 'to be seated' or 'to be present' in a grand sense, it is part of the vocabulary of posture and presence. For objects, 'स्थित होना' (sthit hona) means 'to be situated' or 'to be located', which is a more formal alternative to saying a building 'khada hai'.
- खड़ा करना (Khada Karna)
- The transitive version. It means 'to make someone/something stand' or 'to build/erect'. You 'khada karna' a wall or a tent.
