खुजलाना در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Khujlana is the Hindi verb for both 'to itch' and 'to scratch.'
- It is a common daily word used for skin irritation and mosquito bites.
- Culturally, it is linked to superstitions about money and travel.
- It requires careful gender agreement with the body part that is itching.
The Hindi verb खुजलाना (Khujlānā) is a versatile term primarily used to describe the physical sensation of itching or the act of scratching that follows such a sensation. In the linguistic landscape of Hindi, this word occupies a central role in daily conversations, ranging from medical discussions about skin irritations to common superstitions regarding the palms of one's hands. At its core, it is an intransitive or transitive verb depending on the context. When you say your skin is itching, you use it to describe the sensation; when you are actively using your nails to relieve that sensation, you are also 'khujlana' the area. Understanding this word requires a grasp of both its literal physical meaning and its figurative extensions in Indian culture.
- Literal Physical Sensation
- This refers to the irritating feeling on the skin that makes you want to scratch. It is commonly used when discussing mosquito bites, allergies, or dry skin during the harsh North Indian winters. For example, 'मच्छर के काटने से मेरी त्वचा खुजला रही है' (My skin is itching because of the mosquito bite).
- The Act of Scratching
- While 'khujli' is the noun for 'itch,' the verb 'khujlana' encompasses the action of scratching. If you see someone scratching their head in confusion, you would describe that action using this verb.
- Figurative and Superstitious Use
- In Indian culture, an itching palm is often linked to financial gain or loss. If the right palm itches, it is traditionally believed that money is coming your way; if the left itches, you might be spending money soon. This cultural nuance makes the word very common in casual banter.
जब मुझे मच्छर काटता है, तो मैं अपनी त्वचा को खुजलाने लगता हूँ। (When a mosquito bites me, I start scratching my skin.)
The word is frequently heard in clinical settings as well. A doctor might ask, 'क्या आपको यहाँ खुजलाहट महसूस हो रही है?' (Are you feeling an itching sensation here?). In this context, the root 'khujla' is transformed into a noun 'khujlahat' (irritation/itching sensation). The verb itself is easy to conjugate and follows the standard pattern for '-na' ending verbs in Hindi. In the heat of the Indian summer, discussions about 'ghamauri' (heat rash) inevitably involve the word 'khujlana,' as the prickly heat causes intense itching. Furthermore, the word appears in literature to describe a character's nervousness or hesitation, often depicted by the character 'sir khujlana' (scratching their head) while thinking of an answer. This physical manifestation of mental state is a universal human trait, but the specific verb 'khujlana' captures it perfectly in Hindi. Whether it is a child with a scrape, an elderly person with dry skin, or a businessman hoping for a lucky break, this word resonates across all demographics in India.
क्या तुम्हारी हथेली खुजला रही है? शायद तुम्हें पैसे मिलने वाले हैं! (Is your palm itching? Maybe you are about to get some money!)
Using खुजलाना (Khujlānā) correctly involves understanding its subject-verb agreement and the specific context of the action. Since it can describe both the sensation and the act, the sentence structure might change slightly. When used to describe a sensation (intransitive-like), the body part often becomes the subject. When used as an action (transitive), the person becomes the subject who is performing the scratching. This flexibility is key for learners at the A2 level and above.
- Present Continuous (Sensation)
- To say something is currently itching: 'मेरी पीठ खुजला रही है' (My back is itching). Here, 'peeth' (back) is feminine, so the verb ends in 'rahi hai.'
- Imperative (Giving Orders)
- Telling someone not to scratch: 'ज़्यादा मत खुजलाओ, घाव हो जाएगा' (Don't scratch too much, it will become a wound). This is common advice given to children.
- Past Tense (Completed Action)
- 'उसने अपना सिर खुजलाया' (He scratched his head). Note that when used transitively in the past tense, the 'ne' particle is used with the subject, and the verb agrees with the object (sir - masculine).
अगर तुम इस दाने को खुजलाओगे, तो यह और बढ़ जाएगा। (If you scratch this pimple, it will increase further.)
In complex sentences, you might use 'khujlana' to describe a symptom to a pharmacist. 'मुझे कल से पूरे शरीर में खुजलाहट हो रही है और त्वचा खुजला रही है' (I have been having an itching sensation all over my body since yesterday and the skin is itching). Notice the combination of the noun 'khujlahat' and the verb 'khujlana.' This demonstrates a higher level of fluency. In colloquial Hindi, you might also hear the term 'khujli hona' (to have an itch) used interchangeably with 'khujlana' (to itch). For example, 'मेरे हाथ में खुजली हो रही है' vs 'मेरा हाथ खुजला रहा है.' Both are correct and widely understood, though the latter focuses more on the sensation emanating from the hand itself. Mastering these subtle differences allows a learner to sound more like a native speaker. Additionally, the word is used in negative constructions to warn against irritation, such as 'इसे मत खुजलाओ' (don't scratch this), which is essential for health and hygiene contexts.
बंदर अपनी पीठ खुजला रहा था। (The monkey was scratching its back.)
The word खुजलाना (Khujlānā) is ubiquitous in Indian life, appearing in various settings from the domestic to the professional. If you are traveling through India during the monsoon season, you will hear this word constantly in relation to mosquito bites. The humid weather often leads to skin issues, and 'khujlana' becomes a keyword in pharmacies and doctor's clinics. You will also encounter it in the context of traditional beliefs. If you're sitting with a group of friends and someone starts scratching their palm, someone is bound to joke about them becoming rich or losing money, using the verb 'khujlana' to describe the action.
- In the Pharmacy (Dawaai ki Dukaan)
- 'भैया, कोई क्रीम दीजिए, मेरी त्वचा बहुत खुजला रही है।' (Brother, give me some cream, my skin is itching a lot.) This is a very common scenario where the word is used to seek relief.
- At Home with Family
- Parents often tell children, 'मिट्टी में मत खेलो, शरीर खुजलाने लगेगा।' (Don't play in the dirt, your body will start itching.) It serves as a warning against potential irritants.
- In Superstitious Conversations
- 'दाहिना हाथ खुजलाना' (Right hand itching) is a common phrase heard when someone expects a financial windfall. It is a lighthearted part of daily social interaction.
फिल्म में नायक सोच में पड़ गया और अपना सिर खुजलाने लगा। (In the movie, the hero got lost in thought and started scratching his head.)
You might also hear this word in Hindi movies (Bollywood) during comedic scenes. A character might have an 'itch' to do something mischievous, or they might be physically itching because of a comedic mishap involving a 'beechu ghaas' (stinging nettle). In television commercials for anti-fungal powders or soaps, 'khujlana' is a central theme, often depicted through exaggerated scratching to emphasize the need for the product. In rural areas, where livestock is common, you might hear farmers talk about their cattle 'khujlana' against trees or fences. This shows the word's applicability across species and environments. Whether it is a refined medical discussion or a gritty street-level conversation, 'khujlana' is the go-to verb for this universal sensation. For a learner, hearing it in these varied contexts helps solidify its meaning beyond a simple dictionary definition.
धूप में ज़्यादा देर रहने से मेरी गर्दन खुजलाने लगती है। (Staying in the sun for too long makes my neck start itching.)
While खुजलाना (Khujlānā) is a relatively straightforward verb, English speakers often make mistakes by confusing the noun form with the verb form, or by using incorrect grammar when describing who or what is itching. The distinction between 'having an itch' and 'itching' is subtle in English but very specific in Hindi grammar. Avoiding these pitfalls will make your Hindi sound much more natural and precise.
- Confusing Noun and Verb
- A common mistake is saying 'मुझे खुजलाना है' when you mean 'I have an itch.' Correct would be 'मुझे खुजली हो रही है' (I am having an itch) or 'मैं खुजला रहा हूँ' (I am scratching). 'Khujlana' is the action, 'Khujli' is the noun.
- Incorrect Subject-Verb Agreement
- If your hand (masculine) is itching, you must say 'हाथ खुजला रहा है.' If your back (feminine) is itching, it is 'पीठ खुजला रही है.' Learners often use the masculine ending for everything, which is a clear marker of a non-native speaker.
- Misusing the 'Ne' Particle
- In the past tense, if you are the one scratching, you must use 'ne.' Example: 'मैंने अपनी टाँग खुजलाई' (I scratched my leg). If you forget the 'ne,' the sentence becomes grammatically incomplete.
गलत: मेरी आँख खुजला रहा है। (Wrong: My eye is itching - incorrect gender). सही: मेरी आँख खुजला रही है। (Correct: My eye is itching - 'aankh' is feminine.)
Another mistake involves the causative form. If you want someone to scratch your back, don't say 'मुझे खुजलाओ' (scratch me) unless you mean your whole body. It is better to specify: 'मेरी पीठ खुजला दो' (scratch my back for me). Using 'do' (give/do) at the end makes it a request for a favor, which is more polite and natural. Furthermore, learners sometimes use 'khujlana' when they actually mean 'to rub' (ragadna) or 'to massage' (maalish karna). While scratching involves rubbing, 'khujlana' specifically implies the relief of an itch. If there is no itch, 'khujlana' is the wrong word. Lastly, avoid using 'khujlana' in very formal writing unless it is a medical report; instead, use 'khujli ka anubhav' (experience of itching) for a more academic tone. By being mindful of these distinctions, you can navigate the use of this verb with confidence and accuracy.
गलत: मुझे अपना सिर खुजलाया। (Wrong: I scratched my head - missing 'ne'). सही: मैंने अपना सिर खुजलाया। (Correct: I scratched my head.)
While खुजलाना (Khujlānā) is the most common word for itching and scratching, Hindi offers several alternatives and related terms that provide more specific meanings or fit different registers of speech. Knowing these will help you describe sensations more accurately and understand native speakers who might use regional or more formal vocabulary.
- खुजली होना (Khujli Hona)
- Meaning: To have an itch. This is the noun-based alternative. While 'khujlana' is a verb, 'khujli hona' uses the noun 'khujli' (itch) with the auxiliary verb 'hona' (to be/happen). It is often used to describe the state rather than the action.
- खारिश (Khaarish)
- Meaning: Itch/Scabies. This word has Persian roots and is very common in Urdu-influenced Hindi. It often sounds a bit more medical or serious than 'khujli.' You might hear 'मुझे खारिश हो रही है' in a clinic.
- चुल मचना (Chul Machna)
- Meaning: To have a restless itch (often figurative). This is a colloquial and sometimes slightly slangy term. Figuratively, it means someone is being restless or mischievous, as if they have an 'itch' they can't scratch.
- सहलाना (Sehlana)
- Meaning: To stroke or rub gently. If an area is too sore to scratch (khujlana), you might 'sehlana' it instead. It implies a much gentler touch than scratching.
क्या तुम मेरी पीठ सहला सकते हो? वहाँ बहुत दर्द है। (Can you stroke my back? It hurts a lot there.)
In some regional dialects, you might hear 'khujawana' or other variations, but 'khujlana' remains the standard. For a learner, focusing on the pair 'khujli' (noun) and 'khujlana' (verb) is the most efficient path. If you are reading literature, you might come across 'kandūyan' (कण्डूयन), which is the highly formal Sanskritized term for itching, but you will almost never hear this in spoken Hindi. Another related term is 'khurachna' (खुरचना), which means 'to scrape.' While similar, 'khurachna' is used for scraping a surface (like a pan or a wall) rather than scratching an itch. Understanding these nuances helps you choose the exact word for the situation, making your Hindi more expressive and accurate. Whether you are describing a minor annoyance or a medical condition, having these alternatives at your disposal is invaluable.
उसे हर काम में चुल मचती है। (He has a restless itch for every task - figurative use.)

نکات
Gender Matters
Always check the gender of the body part. 'Aankh' is feminine, 'Sir' is masculine. This changes 'rahi hai' to 'raha hai.'
Superstitions
Learn the palm itching superstition; it's a great conversation starter in India!
Noun vs Verb
Remember: Khujli = Noun, Khujlana = Verb. Don't mix them up in sentences.
The 'Kh' Sound
Make sure you aspirate the 'Kh.' It should sound breathy, not like a hard 'K.'
Asking for Help
When asking someone to scratch your back, use 'khujla do' instead of just 'khujlao' to be more polite.
Describing Symptoms
Use 'khujlahat' if you want to sound more precise when talking to a doctor.
Confusion
'Sir khujlana' is a universal sign of being puzzled in India. Use it to look more native.
Past Tense
Don't forget the 'ne' particle when you are the one doing the scratching: 'Maine khujlaya.'
Don't over-scratch
In Hindi, 'zyada mat khujlao' is a very common piece of advice. Learn it for daily use.
Urdu Influence
If you hear 'Khaarish,' don't be confused; it's just a common synonym for itch.
حفظ کنید
روش یادسپاری
Think of a 'CLAW' (Kh-la) scratching an itch. The 'Kh' sound is like the sound of a scratchy throat, and 'la' is the long action of moving your nails.
تداعی تصویری
Imagine a giant mosquito (Machhar) biting your arm, and you immediately reach out to 'Khujla' it. Visualize the red mark and your nails moving.
شبکه واژگان
چالش
Try to use 'khujlana' every time you see someone touch their face or head today. Silently say the sentence in Hindi.
ریشه کلمه
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'Kharju' (खर्जू), which specifically means itching or a scab. Over centuries, it evolved through Prakrit and Apabhramsha into the modern Hindi form 'Khujlana.'
معنای اصلی: To suffer from an itch or to experience skin irritation.
Indo-Aryanبافت فرهنگی
Avoid using slang terms like 'chul' in formal settings as they can sometimes have a vulgar or overly aggressive connotation.
English speakers use 'itch' as both a noun and verb, and 'scratch' as the action. Hindi uses 'khujli' for the noun and 'khujlana' for the verb/action.

Summary
The word 'Khujlana' is an essential verb for health, hygiene, and cultural superstitions in Hindi. For example, 'मेरी पीठ खुजला रही है' (My back is itching) is a vital phrase for personal comfort.
- Khujlana is the Hindi verb for both 'to itch' and 'to scratch.'
- It is a common daily word used for skin irritation and mosquito bites.
- Culturally, it is linked to superstitions about money and travel.
- It requires careful gender agreement with the body part that is itching.
Gender Matters
Always check the gender of the body part. 'Aankh' is feminine, 'Sir' is masculine. This changes 'rahi hai' to 'raha hai.'
Superstitions
Learn the palm itching superstition; it's a great conversation starter in India!
Noun vs Verb
Remember: Khujli = Noun, Khujlana = Verb. Don't mix them up in sentences.
The 'Kh' Sound
Make sure you aspirate the 'Kh.' It should sound breathy, not like a hard 'K.'
مثال
मच्छर काटने से उसकी त्वचा खुजला रही थी।
