खराब در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Kharaab is the primary Hindi word for 'bad,' 'broken,' or 'spoiled.'
- It is used for malfunctioning gadgets, rotten food, and poor health.
- The word is invariant, meaning it does not change for gender or number.
- It is commonly paired with 'hona' (to become) and 'karna' (to ruin).
The Hindi word खराब (kharaab) is one of the most versatile adjectives in the language, primarily used to describe something that is in a negative state, whether physically, functionally, or morally. At its core, it translates to 'bad,' 'spoiled,' or 'damaged.' However, its application spans across various domains of daily life, making it an essential term for any learner. When you encounter food that has gone past its expiration date or smells unpleasant, you would describe it as kharaab. Similarly, if your mobile phone stops working or your car breaks down on the side of the road, the state of the machine is described using this same word. It is not limited to physical objects; it also extends to abstract concepts like weather, moods, and health. For instance, if the weather is stormy or unpleasant, it is mausam kharaab hai. If someone is feeling unwell, they might say their health is tabiyat kharaab hai.
- Physical Condition
- Used for broken appliances, torn clothes, or malfunctioning gadgets. Example: 'Yeh pankha kharaab hai' (This fan is broken).
- Biological State
- Used for spoiled food, rotten vegetables, or poor health. Example: 'Khana kharaab ho gaya hai' (The food has spoiled).
- Abstract Quality
- Used for bad habits, poor behavior, or unpleasant weather. Example: 'Uski aadatein kharaab hain' (His habits are bad).
Understanding the nuance of kharaab requires recognizing that it often implies a transition from a good state to a bad one. While the word 'bura' also means bad, 'kharaab' is more frequently used for things that were once functional or fresh but are no longer so. It carries a sense of 'deterioration' or 'malfunction.' In social contexts, it can also refer to a person's reputation or character being 'spoiled.' For example, 'naam kharaab karna' means to ruin someone's reputation. This word is an absolute staple in Hindi markets, repair shops, and hospitals, making it a high-frequency vocabulary item for beginners and advanced speakers alike.
आज मेरा मूड बहुत खराब है। (Today my mood is very bad.)
यह दूध खराब हो चुका है। (This milk has spoiled.)
रास्ते में मेरी गाड़ी खराब हो गई। (My car broke down on the way.)
ज्यादा मिठाई खाना दांतों के लिए खराब है। (Eating too many sweets is bad for teeth.)
बारिश की वजह से सड़कें खराब हो गईं। (The roads got damaged due to the rain.)
Using खराब (kharaab) correctly involves understanding its grammatical placement and the common verbs it pairs with. As an adjective, it typically precedes the noun it describes or follows a linking verb like 'hai' (is) or 'tha' (was). One of the most important aspects for learners is the distinction between 'kharaab hona' (to become bad/broken/spoiled) and 'kharaab karna' (to make bad/to ruin/to break). 'Hona' is used when something happens naturally or the cause is not the focus, while 'karna' implies an active agent doing the damage. For example, 'Doodh kharaab ho gaya' (The milk spoiled) vs. 'Bachon ne khilona kharaab kar diya' (The children broke the toy). This distinction is crucial for expressing agency and causality in Hindi.
- With 'Hona' (Intransitive)
- Used for states of being or passive occurrences. 'Mera phone kharaab ho gaya hai' (My phone is broken/has malfunctioned).
- With 'Karna' (Transitive)
- Used when someone ruins or breaks something. 'Tumne mera kaam kharaab kar diya' (You ruined my work).
- With 'Lagna' (Perception)
- Used to express how something feels or tastes. 'Mujhe yeh baat kharaab lagi' (I felt bad about this matter).
Another key point is that kharaab does not change its form based on gender or number. Unlike adjectives like 'achha' (good) which becomes 'achhi' or 'achhe', kharaab remains the same whether you are talking about a masculine singular noun like 'ladka' (boy) or a feminine plural noun like 'kitabein' (books). This makes it relatively easy for English speakers to use without worrying about complex agreement rules. However, you must be careful with the context. While you can say 'kharaab aadmi' (a bad man), it often implies he is corrupt or unreliable rather than inherently evil. For moral 'badness' or 'evil,' 'bura' is often a stronger choice. In technical contexts, 'kharaab' is the go-to word for anything that is 'out of order.' If you see a sign on an elevator in India, it will likely say 'kharaab hai' to indicate it is not working.
ज्यादा टीवी देखना आँखों के लिए खराब है। (Watching too much TV is bad for the eyes.)
क्या आपका कंप्यूटर खराब है? (Is your computer broken?)
उसने गुस्से में अपना फोन खराब कर लिया। (He ruined his phone in anger.)
In the bustling streets of India, खराब (kharaab) is a word you will hear constantly. From the local vegetable vendor explaining why the tomatoes are cheaper today to the auto-rickshaw driver telling you why he can't take you to your destination, this word is everywhere. In a marketplace (Sabzi Mandi), a vendor might shout, 'Yeh phal kharaab nahi hain!' (These fruits are not bad!) to reassure customers of their quality. If you are traveling by train and the air conditioning stops working, passengers will complain to the attendant saying, 'AC kharaab ho gaya hai.' It is the universal term for anything that is not functioning as it should. In professional settings, if a project is failing or a report is poorly written, a manager might say, 'Yeh performance bahut kharaab hai' (This performance is very bad).
- At the Repair Shop
- 'Bhaiya, mera laptop kharaab hai, ise theek kar do.' (Brother, my laptop is broken, please fix it.)
- In the Kitchen
- 'Fridge kharaab hone ki wajah se sabzi kharaab ho gayi.' (The vegetables spoiled because the fridge broke.)
- In Social Conversations
- 'Aaj kal shehar ki hawa bahut kharaab hai.' (These days the city's air is very bad/polluted.)
Beyond physical objects, kharaab is frequently used in emotional and psychological contexts. If someone is being annoying or difficult, you might hear the phrase 'Dimaag kharaab mat karo' (Don't mess with my head/Don't irritate me). This is a very common colloquial expression used when someone is frustrated. In Bollywood movies, you'll often hear characters lamenting their 'kismat' (fate) by saying 'Meri kismat hi kharaab hai' (My luck is just bad). This usage highlights how the word permeates the emotional landscape of Hindi speakers. Whether it's the weather ruining a picnic or a technical glitch during a Zoom call, kharaab is the linguistic tool used to express dissatisfaction with the current state of affairs. It is a word that captures the frustration of things not going according to plan.
लिफ्ट खराब है, सीढ़ियों से चलिए। (The lift is out of order, please use the stairs.)
मेरा गला खराब है, मैं आज नहीं गा सकता। (My throat is bad/sore, I cannot sing today.)
One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make when using खराब (kharaab) is confusing it with the word 'bura' (bad). While they are often interchangeable, they have distinct nuances. 'Bura' is generally used for moral badness, evil, or poor quality in a more permanent sense. For example, 'bura aadmi' implies a person with a bad character, whereas 'kharaab aadmi' might just mean someone who is currently being difficult or is unreliable. Another common error is trying to inflect 'kharaab' for gender. Beginners often say 'kharaabi' for feminine nouns, but 'kharaabi' is actually a noun meaning 'defect' or 'fault,' not an adjective. So, you should say 'Yeh machine kharaab hai' (adjective) and not 'Yeh machine kharaabi hai' (unless you mean 'This machine is a defect,' which makes little sense).
- Confusing 'Kharaab' and 'Bura'
- Mistake: Using 'kharaab' for 'evil'. Correct: Use 'bura' for moral evil and 'kharaab' for functional failure.
- Incorrect Inflection
- Mistake: 'Kharaabi ladki' (Wrong). Correct: 'Kharaab ladki' (Though 'bura' is better here for character).
- Overusing for 'Broken'
- While 'kharaab' means broken (malfunctioning), if a stick is snapped in two, 'toota hua' is more precise than 'kharaab'.
Another subtle mistake is using 'kharaab' when you mean 'dirty' (ganda). While something dirty might eventually become 'kharaab' (spoiled), they are not the same. If your shirt has a stain, it is 'ganda,' not 'kharaab.' However, if the fabric is torn or the color has faded significantly, then it is 'kharaab.' Learners also sometimes struggle with the placement of 'kharaab' in complex sentences. It should always describe the noun it is attached to. For instance, in 'kharaab mausam ki wajah se' (due to bad weather), 'kharaab' correctly modifies 'mausam.' Finally, be careful with the phrase 'dimaag kharaab.' While it can mean 'to go crazy' or 'to be irritated,' using it towards an elder or in a formal setting can be seen as quite rude. It is best reserved for friends or informal situations where you are expressing genuine frustration.
गलत: मेरी घड़ी खराबी है। (Wrong: My watch is a defect.)
सही: मेरी घड़ी खराब है। (Right: My watch is broken/not working.)
While खराब (kharaab) is a great all-purpose word, Hindi offers several more specific alternatives depending on what exactly is 'bad.' Understanding these synonyms will help you sound more like a native speaker. For instance, if you want to emphasize that something is 'useless' or 'worthless,' you might use 'bekaar.' If something is 'rotten' specifically (like fruit), 'sada hua' is the precise term. If a machine is 'out of order' in a more technical sense, 'bigda hua' is often used. Each of these words carries a slightly different weight and context, and choosing the right one can make your Hindi much more descriptive and accurate.
- Bura (बुरा)
- General 'bad'. Used more for character, feelings, and quality. 'Bura sapna' (A bad dream).
- Bekaar (बेकार)
- Useless or unemployed. 'Yeh idea bekaar hai' (This idea is useless).
- Sada hua (सड़ा हुआ)
- Rotten or decomposed. Specifically for organic matter like food or wood.
- Doshpurn (दोषपूर्ण)
- Defective or flawed. Used in formal or technical writing. 'Doshpurn niti' (Flawed policy).
On the flip side, the antonyms of kharaab are equally important. The most common is 'achha' (good), but in the context of functionality, 'theek' (okay/fixed) or 'sahi' (correct/right) are more common. If a mechanic fixes your car, he won't say it is 'achha' now; he will say 'Ab gaadi theek hai' (Now the car is fine). If you are checking if food is still edible, you might ask 'Kya yeh sahi hai?' (Is this alright?). Understanding this spectrum of 'badness' and 'goodness' allows you to navigate daily interactions in India with much more confidence. Whether you are rejecting a 'kharaab' product at a shop or appreciating a 'theek' repair job, these words are your primary tools for evaluation.

ریشه کلمه
The word 'kharaab' originates from the Arabic word 'kharāb' (خراب), which means ruined, desolated, or waste. It entered Hindi through Persian during the period of Islamic influence in the Indian subcontinent.
معنای اصلی: In its original Arabic context, it referred to ruins or a place that has been destroyed, often used to describe fallen buildings or desolate lands.
Afro-Asiatic (Arabic) -> Indo-European (Persian) -> Indo-Aryan (Hindi/Urdu).بافت فرهنگی
Be careful when using 'kharaab' to describe people; it can be more insulting than 'bura' as it implies they are 'spoiled' or 'useless'.
English speakers often use 'broken' for machines and 'bad' for food. In Hindi, 'kharaab' covers both, which can be a helpful simplification.

10 سوالYes, but be careful. 'Kharaab aadmi' can mean a person who is currently being difficult, corrupt, or has a bad character. It is often more insulting than 'bura aadmi' because it implies they are 'spoiled' or 'broken' as a human being.
'Toota' means physically broken into pieces (like a glass). 'Kharaab' means it doesn't work (like a phone that won't turn on). If a chair has a broken leg, it is 'tooti hui'. If a computer has a software error, it is 'kharaab'.
You say 'Meri tabiyat kharaab hai'. This is the most natural way to express that you are feeling unwell in Hindi.
No, 'kharaab' is an invariant adjective. It stays the same for masculine, feminine, singular, and plural nouns. For example: 'kharaab ladka' and 'kharaab ladki'.
While it can imply moral corruption, 'bura' is the more common word for 'evil'. 'Kharaab' is more about being 'spoiled' or 'defective'.
It is a very common idiom meaning 'to annoy' or 'to irritate someone'. It literally translates to 'to spoil someone's brain'.

Summary
Kharaab is an essential, versatile adjective for expressing negativity, dysfunction, or decay. For example, 'Mera phone kharaab hai' means 'My phone is broken/not working.'
- Kharaab is the primary Hindi word for 'bad,' 'broken,' or 'spoiled.'
- It is used for malfunctioning gadgets, rotten food, and poor health.
- The word is invariant, meaning it does not change for gender or number.
- It is commonly paired with 'hona' (to become) and 'karna' (to ruin).
Invariant Adjective
Remember that 'kharaab' never changes its ending. Whether it's a 'kharaab' day, 'kharaab' milk, or 'kharaab' habits, the word remains the same.
Food Safety
In a market, if you see fruit that looks old, you can ask 'Kya yeh kharaab hai?' to check if it's still good to buy.
Polite Refusal
If you want to avoid a social event, 'Meri tabiyat thodi kharaab hai' (My health is a bit bad) is a standard and polite excuse.
Don't Irritate Me
Use 'Mera dimaag kharaab mat karo' only with friends. It's quite direct and can be rude if said to a stranger or elder.
مثال
यह फल खराब हो गया है।
