खिलाना

khilana

When we use the verb खिलाना (khilaana), we are talking about the act of feeding someone or something. It implies that you are actively providing food to another being. For example, if you are feeding your child, you would use this verb. Similarly, if you are feeding a pet or birds, खिलाना (khilaana) is the correct verb.

It's different from simply eating yourself (खाना - khaana). खिलाना (khilaana) always involves one entity providing food to another. Think of it as 'to cause to eat' or 'to make someone eat'.

§ Understanding Khilana (To Feed)

Alright, let's break down how to use the Hindi verb खिलाना (khilaana), which means 'to feed' or 'to give food to someone/an animal'. It's a pretty useful verb, so pay attention!

First off, खिलाना is a transitive verb. This means it needs an object. You're always feeding something or someone.

§ Basic Sentence Structure

The basic structure is pretty straightforward:

Subject + Object (to whom/what) + खाना/भोजन (food - sometimes implied) + खिलाना (to feed)
Remember, 'food' might not always be explicitly stated if the context is clear.

मैं बच्चे को खिलाता हूँ। (Main bachche ko khilaata hoon.) - I feed the child.

वह कुत्ते को खिलाती है। (Vah kutte ko khilaati hai.) - She feeds the dog.

§ Conjugation of Khilana

Like many Hindi verbs, खिलाना changes based on tense, gender, and number. Here are some common conjugations:

  • Present Tense (Masculine Singular): खिलाता हूँ (khilaata hoon) - I feed
  • Present Tense (Feminine Singular): खिलाती हूँ (khilaati hoon) - I feed
  • Present Tense (Plural): खिलाते हैं (khilaate hain) - We/They feed
  • Past Tense (Masculine Singular): खिलाया (khilaaya) - fed
  • Past Tense (Feminine Singular): खिलाई (khilaayi) - fed
  • Past Tense (Plural): खिलाए (khilaae) - fed

मैंने उसे खाना खिलाया। (Maine use khaana khilaaya.) - I fed him/her food.

तुम क्या खिलाओगे? (Tum kya khilaoge?) - What will you feed?

§ Using Khilana with Objects

Direct Object vs. Indirect Object
When you have both the thing being fed (food) and the one being fed (person/animal), the person/animal usually takes the 'को' (ko) postposition.

मैं बच्चे को सेब खिलाता हूँ। (Main bachche ko seb khilaata hoon.) - I feed the child an apple.

§ Common Phrases with Khilana

Here are a few common ways you'll hear खिलाना being used:

  • खाना खिलाना (khaana khilaana): To feed food. This is very common and explicit.
  • पानी पिलाना (paani pilaana): To give water (though not खिलाना, it's the equivalent for liquids).

क्या तुम मुझे कुछ खिलाओगे? (Kya tum mujhe kuchh khilaoge?) - Will you feed me something?

गरीबों को खाना खिलाओ। (Garibon ko khaana khilao.) - Feed the poor (people) food.

So, there you have it. खिलाना is all about the act of providing food. Practice these sentences and try to make your own. The more you use it, the more natural it will become!
