توضیح कीमत in your Level:

At the A1 level, 'Kimat' is a survival word. You use it primarily to ask for the price of items while shopping. The focus is on the simple sentence structure: 'Iski kimat kya hai?' (What is its price?). Learners at this stage should focus on the feminine gender of the word and how it pairs with 'ki' and 'hai.' You will mostly hear it in markets, shops, and restaurants. It is one of the first 500 words a learner should master to function in a Hindi-speaking environment.

At the A2 level, you begin to use 'Kimat' to make comparisons and describe items. You might say 'Is car ki kimat us car se zyada hai' (The price of this car is more than that car). You also start using basic adjectives like 'kam' (low), 'zyada' (high), 'sahi' (right), and 'theek' (okay). You can handle simple bargaining situations and understand when a shopkeeper tells you the 'fixed price' (nirdharit kimat).

You also start using compound phrases like 'Kimat chukana' (to pay the price) in a literal sense, such as paying for a service. You are comfortable discussing budgets and can explain why the 'kimat' of something might be justified based on its quality.

कीमत در ۳۰ ثانیه

Kimat means 'price' or 'value' and is a feminine noun in Hindi.
It is used for both money (buying things) and metaphors (the cost of success).
Always use feminine grammar (e.g., 'iski kimat') when using this word.
Common synonyms include 'Daam' (casual) and 'Mulya' (formal).

The Hindi word कीमत (Kimat) is a feminine noun that translates primarily to 'price,' 'cost,' or 'value.' While its most common application is in the realm of commerce—referring to the amount of money required to purchase a product or service—it also carries significant weight in metaphorical and philosophical contexts. For an English speaker, understanding 'Kimat' is essential because it is the standard term used in daily transactions, from buying vegetables at a local sabzi mandi to discussing the valuation of a multi-million dollar company. The word is derived from the Arabic 'Qimah,' reflecting the historical Persian influence on the Hindustani language. Unlike the more formal Sanskrit-derived word 'मूल्य' (Mulya), 'Kimat' is the go-to term in colloquial and semi-formal Hindi.

Monetary Value: The literal price tag on an item. For example, 'Is kitab ki kimat kya hai?' (What is the price of this book?).

इस घर की कीमत बहुत ज़्यादा है। (The price of this house is very high.)

Metaphorical Cost: Refers to the sacrifice or effort required to achieve something. 'Aazadi ki kimat' (The price of freedom).

In a social context, 'Kimat' is also used to describe the worth or importance of a person or an action. If someone says 'Tum meri dosti ki kimat nahi samajhte,' they aren't talking about money; they are saying you don't appreciate the value of their friendship. This duality makes it one of the most versatile nouns in the Hindi vocabulary. Whether you are bargaining for a shawl in Jaipur or watching a dramatic Bollywood film where the hero talks about the 'price of blood' (khoon ki kimat), this word will be your constant companion.

सफलता की कीमत मेहनत है। (The price of success is hard work.)

Market Context: Used in news reports to discuss inflation or stock prices. 'Sone ki kimat gir gayi' (The price of gold has fallen).

Furthermore, the word appears frequently in compound verbs like 'Kimat lagana' (to appraise or set a price) and 'Kimat chukana' (to pay the price, often used for consequences). Understanding these nuances allows a learner to move from basic transactional Hindi to expressive, idiomatic speech. The word is ubiquitous in literature, cinema, and daily commerce, making it a cornerstone of A1-level vocabulary that remains relevant all the way to C2 proficiency.

Using कीमत (Kimat) correctly requires a basic understanding of Hindi's gender-based grammar. Since 'Kimat' is feminine, any adjectives or possessive pronouns modifying it must also be feminine. For instance, you say 'Badi kimat' (Big price) instead of 'Bada kimat,' and 'Meri kimat' (My value) instead of 'Mera kimat.' This is a common stumbling block for English speakers whose native language does not assign gender to inanimate objects like 'price.'

क्या आप इस मोबाइल की कीमत कम कर सकते हैं? (Can you reduce the price of this mobile?)

Asking for Price: The most common structure is: [Object] + ki + kimat + kya hai? Example: 'Is seb ki kimat kya hai?'

In more complex sentences, 'Kimat' can act as the subject or the object. When it is the subject, the verb must agree with its feminine gender. 'Kimat badh rahi hai' (The price is increasing) uses the feminine 'rahi hai.' If you were using the masculine synonym 'Daam' (दाम), you would say 'Daam badh raha hai.' This distinction is vital for sounding natural to native ears.

वक्त की कीमत पहचानो। (Recognize the value of time.)

Expressing High/Low Cost: Use 'zyada' (more/high) or 'kam' (less/low). 'Kimat bahut zyada hai' (The price is very high).

Another important usage is the phrase 'Kisi bhi kimat par' (At any cost/price). This is used to express determination or desperation. 'Mujhe yeh naukri kisi bhi kimat par chahiye' (I want this job at any cost). Here, 'Kimat' moves beyond money into the realm of commitment. You will also encounter 'Kimat chukana' in dramatic contexts, such as 'Tumhe iski bhari kimat chukani padegi' (You will have to pay a heavy price for this), often implying a negative consequence for an action.

बाज़ार में चीज़ों की कीमत घट रही है। (The price of things in the market is decreasing.)

Appraisal: 'Kimat lagana' means to estimate the value. 'Usne meri purani car ki achhi kimat lagayi' (He offered a good price for my old car).

The word कीमत (Kimat) is inescapable in the Indian subcontinent. If you walk into a Kirana store (local grocery shop), the first thing you might ask after pointing at a bag of rice is 'Iski kimat kya hai?' (What is its price?). In the bustling markets of Delhi, Mumbai, or Jaipur, the air is thick with the sound of bargaining, where 'Kimat' is the central theme. Shopkeepers will quote a 'Sahi kimat' (right price), while customers will argue that the 'Kimat bahut zyada hai' (price is too high).

पेट्रोल की कीमत फिर से बढ़ गई। (The price of petrol has increased again.)

News and Media: News anchors frequently use 'Kimat' when discussing the economy, inflation (mehangai), or the fluctuating value of the Rupee against the Dollar.

In the world of Bollywood, 'Kimat' is a high-stakes word. It appears in iconic dialogues where villains demand a 'Kimat' for a hostage's life, or heroes talk about the 'Kimat' of their honor. This cinematic usage has cemented the word's emotional depth in the minds of native speakers. It’s not just about coins and notes; it’s about what something is worth to your soul. You’ll hear it in songs as well, often lamenting the 'price of love' or the 'value of a broken heart.'

क्या आप इस पुरानी घड़ी की कीमत जानते हैं? (Do you know the value of this old watch?)

Real Estate and Big Purchases: When discussing property, 'Kimat' is used to refer to the total valuation. 'Zameen ki kimat' (The price of the land).

Even in professional settings, during salary negotiations or project budgeting, 'Kimat' (or its more formal cousin 'Mulya') will be used. However, 'Kimat' remains the more natural choice for verbal communication. If you are watching a Hindi dubbed version of a Hollywood movie, you'll notice that 'price' is almost always translated as 'Kimat.' Its phonetic simplicity and historical roots make it a word that bridges the gap between the elite and the common man.

इस तोहफे की कोई कीमत नहीं है, यह अनमोल है। (This gift has no price; it is priceless.)

The most frequent mistake learners make with कीमत (Kimat) is treating it as a masculine noun. In English, 'price' has no gender, but in Hindi, 'Kimat' is strictly feminine. This affects the entire sentence structure. For example, saying 'Iska kimat kya hai?' is incorrect because 'Iska' is masculine. The correct form is 'Iski kimat kya hai?' Similarly, using 'bada' (big) instead of 'badi' (big-fem) is a common error.

❌ गलत: दूध का कीमत बढ़ गया।
✅ सही: दूध की कीमत बढ़ गई।

Confusing Synonyms: Learners often mix up 'Kimat' (feminine) with 'Daam' (masculine). While they mean the same thing, the grammar changes. 'Achha daam' vs 'Achhi kimat.'

Another mistake is using 'Kimat' when 'Kharch' (expense) or 'Lagat' (cost of production) is more appropriate. While 'Kimat' is what the buyer pays, 'Lagat' is what the manufacturer spends. If you are talking about how much it cost you to build a house, 'Lagat' is the better word. Using 'Kimat' there might imply the market value of the house instead of the construction cost.

❌ गलत: यह बहुत महंगा कीमत है।
✅ सही: इसकी कीमत बहुत ज़्यादा है।

Overusing the word: In casual shopping, Indians often omit the word 'Kimat' entirely. Instead of 'Is shirt ki kimat kya hai?', they just say 'Yeh shirt kitne ki hai?' (How much for this shirt?).

Finally, watch out for the pluralization. The plural of 'Kimat' is 'Keemtein.' Beginners often forget to nasalize the end, saying 'Keemte' instead of 'Keemtein.' Also, remember that in the oblique case (when followed by a postposition like 'mein' or 'se'), it becomes 'Keemton.' For example: 'Keemton mein badhotari' (Increase in prices).

Hindi has several words for 'price' and 'value,' each with its own register and nuance. Understanding these will help you choose the right word for the right situation. While कीमत (Kimat) is the most versatile, others like 'Daam,' 'Mulya,' and 'Bhaav' are equally common in specific contexts.

दाम (Daam): Masculine. Very common in street shopping and casual talk. 'Sahi daam lagao' (Give me a fair price). It feels slightly more informal than Kimat.
मूल्य (Mulya): Masculine. Sanskrit-derived. Used in formal writing, textbooks, and official documents. 'Bazaar mulya' (Market value). It sounds more academic or 'pure' Hindi.
भाव (Bhaav): Masculine. Refers to the 'rate' or 'sentiment.' Common in vegetable markets or stock markets. 'Aaj tamatar ka kya bhaav hai?' (What is the rate of tomatoes today?).

Comparison: 'Kimat' is the price tag; 'Mulya' is the intrinsic value; 'Bhaav' is the current market rate.

If you are talking about the 'cost' incurred to make something, use लागत (Laagat). If you are talking about 'expenses' in general, use खर्च (Kharch). For example, 'Is film ki laagat 100 crore hai' (The production cost of this film is 100 crore). Using 'Kimat' here would be technically incorrect as it refers to the selling price, not the manufacturing cost.

Another interesting alternative is अर्घ (Argh), though it is very rare and mostly used in poetic or highly Sanskritized Hindi. In the modern world, English words like 'Price' and 'Rate' are also frequently used in Hinglish (Hindi-English mix), but knowing 'Kimat' is essential for true fluency and understanding native speakers in all walks of life.

نکات

Gender Check

Always pair 'Kimat' with 'ki'. 'Is car ki kimat' is correct. 'Is car ka kimat' is a very common beginner mistake.

Market Tip

When bargaining, say 'Sahi kimat lagaiye' (Quote a fair price). It shows you know the market.

Formal vs Informal

Use 'Mulya' in your Hindi essays and 'Kimat' or 'Daam' when talking to friends or shopkeepers.

The 'T' Sound

Make sure the 't' at the end of 'Kimat' is soft and dental. Don't let it sound like the 't' in 'Table'.

At Any Cost

Memorize the phrase 'Kisi bhi kimat par'. It's very useful for expressing determination.

News Cues

Listen for 'Keemtein' in news headlines about the economy. It's almost always followed by 'badhi' (increased) or 'ghati' (decreased).

Plural Nasalization

Don't forget the dot (bindu) when writing 'कीमतें' to ensure the nasal 'n' sound at the end.

Priceless

To say something is priceless, use 'Anmol'. 'Iski koi kimat nahi hai' can sometimes mean it's worthless, so 'Anmol' is safer for high value.

Synonym Swap

If you forget if 'Kimat' is feminine, try using 'Daam' but remember to switch to masculine grammar!

Production Cost

If you are talking about how much it cost to *make* something, use 'Laagat' instead of 'Kimat'.

حفظ کنید

روش یادسپاری

Think of a 'Key' (Ki) and a 'Mat'. You need a 'Key' to unlock the 'Mat' where the treasure's 'Price' is hidden. Ki-Mat.

Derived from the Arabic word 'Qimah' (قيمة), which means value, worth, or price. It entered Hindi through Persian during the Mughal era.

معنای اصلی: Value or worth of an object.

Afro-Asiatic (Arabic) -> Indo-Aryan (Hindi/Urdu).

بافت فرهنگی

Be careful when using 'Kimat' for people; it can sound like you are commodifying them. Use 'Kadr' or 'Mulya' for human value instead.

English speakers might find it strange that 'price' has a gender. In English, price is purely transactional, but in Hindi, it carries more emotional weight.

The movie 'Kimat' (1998) starring Akshay Kumar. Iconic dialogue: 'Tum kya jaano ek chutki sindoor ki kimat?' (What do you know the value of a pinch of vermillion?) The song 'Kimat' from various Bollywood eras.
