रोकर در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Rokar is the adverbial form of 'to cry', meaning 'weepingly' or 'by crying'.
- It is a conjunctive participle that describes the manner of an action.
- It remains the same regardless of the subject's gender or number.
- Commonly used to express pleading, regret, or deep emotional distress in Hindi.
The Hindi word रोकर (rokar) is a powerful adverbial form derived from the verb रोना (ronā), which means 'to cry' or 'to weep'. Grammatically, it is a conjunctive participle (pūrvakālik kriyā), formed by adding the suffix -kar to the verb root. This construction typically indicates that one action is performed while, or as a means of, another. In the case of rokar, it translates most accurately to 'weepingly', 'by crying', or 'having cried'. It describes the state or the method by which a subsequent action is performed. For example, if someone asks for something while tears are streaming down their face, they are asking rokar.
- Emotional Manner
- It is used to describe an action done in a state of deep distress or emotional upheaval. It isn't just a physical description; it carries the weight of the person's internal pain.
- Persuasion and Pleading
- In South Asian social contexts, 'rokar kahnā' (saying something by crying) often implies a desperate attempt to persuade or gain sympathy from the listener.
उसने रोकर अपनी गलती मानी। (Usne rokar apnī galtī mānī) — He admitted his mistake weepingly.
You will encounter this word in literature, daily conversations about emotional events, and Bollywood dramas where characters express their grievances. It is particularly common when describing children who want something or adults who are overwhelmed by grief or regret. Understanding rokar is essential for B1 learners because it moves beyond simple verb usage into the territory of describing the nuance of human behavior and emotional expression in Hindi syntax.
Using रोकर requires understanding the sentence structure of Hindi participles. It usually precedes the main verb of the sentence. Because it functions as an adverb of manner, it tells us *how* the subject performed the action. It is invariable, meaning it does not change based on the gender or number of the subject. Whether a boy, a girl, or a group is crying, the word remains rokar.
- Sentence Structure
- [Subject] + [Context/Object] + रोकर + [Main Verb]. Example: 'बच्चा रोकर सो गया' (The child fell asleep after/while crying).
उसने रोकर अपनी बात सुनाई। (Usne rokar apnī bāt sunāī) — She told her story weepingly.
It is important to distinguish rokar from rokar bhī (even after crying). The simple rokar indicates the crying is the accompaniment to the action. If you say 'usne rokar māfī māṅgī', it means the act of crying was part of the apology. In contrast, 'rote hue' might be used for a continuous state, but 'rokar' is more focused on the completion or the specific method of the act. In literary Hindi, rokar can also start a sentence to set a dramatic tone: 'रोकर उसने विदा ली' (Weeping, he took his leave).
In real-world Hindi, रोकर is found in various contexts ranging from domestic life to high-stakes news reporting. In a typical Indian household, you might hear a mother saying, 'बच्चा रोकर चुप हो गया' (The child became quiet after crying). In a more dramatic or news-related context, a reporter might say, 'पीड़ित ने रोकर अपनी आपबीती सुनाई' (The victim told their ordeal weepingly).
वह रोकर बुरा हाल कर रहा है। (Vah rokar burā hāl kar rahā hai) — He is making himself miserable by crying.
You will also hear it in Bollywood songs and movies, which are known for their emotional depth. Phrases like 'rokar pukārnā' (to call out while weeping) are staples of romantic or tragic cinema. It’s also used in religious or spiritual contexts, where 'rokar prārthanā karnā' (praying while weeping) signifies the highest form of devotion or 'Bhakti', showing a heart that is completely open and vulnerable before the divine.
One of the most frequent mistakes English speakers make is confusing रोकर (rokar) with रोते हुए (rote hue). While they are often interchangeable, rokar implies the manner or the completed sequence leading to the next action, whereas rote hue emphasizes the ongoing nature of the crying during the action. For example, 'Vah rote hue āyā' means he was crying as he walked in. 'Vah rokar āyā' might imply he finished crying and then came, or that crying was the reason/manner of his arrival.
- Mistake: Gender Agreement
- Learners often try to change 'rokar' to 'rokī' or 'roke' to match the subject. This is incorrect. 'Rokar' is an indeclinable participle form.
Incorrect: वह
रोकीबोली।
Correct: वह रोकर बोली। (She spoke weepingly.)
Another mistake is using it for 'shouting'. While crying often involves sound, rokar specifically refers to tears and weeping. If someone is just yelling without tears, use chillākar. Also, avoid using rokar when you mean 'stopped'. The word for 'having stopped' is ruk-kar (from ruknā). Because they sound similar to the untrained ear, be careful with the 'o' (long o in rokar) vs 'u' (short u in ruk-kar) sound.
To enrich your Hindi vocabulary, it’s helpful to know words that are similar to रोकर but carry different shades of meaning. The most common alternative is सिसकते हुए (sisakte hue), which specifically means 'sobbing' (the gasping sound made while crying). While rokar is a general term for weeping, sisak-sisak kar is used for intense, broken-hearted sobbing.
- रोकर vs. सिसककर
- Rokar: General weeping.
Sisakkar: Sobbing with sharp breaths. - रोकर vs. चिल्लाकर
- Rokar: Emotional tears.
Chillākar: Shouting loudly (could be anger or pain).
Another related term is आँसू बहाकर (āṅsū bahākar), which literally means 'by shedding tears'. This is more formal and poetic. If you want to describe someone who is crying uncontrollably, you might use the phrase फूट-फूटकर रोना (phūṭ-phūṭkar ronā). Using 'phūṭ-phūṭkar' as an adverbial phrase before a verb (e.g., 'phūṭ-phūṭkar rokar usne sab batā diyā') emphasizes the total breakdown of the person's composure.

ریشه کلمه
Derived from the Hindi verb 'रोना' (ronā), which originates from the Sanskrit root 'रुद्' (rud), meaning 'to weep, lament, or cry out'.
معنای اصلی: The Sanskrit 'rud' refers to a loud cry or a sound of distress, often associated with the storm god Rudra.
Indo-Aryan -> Sanskrit -> Prakrit -> Hindi.بافت فرهنگی
Be careful when using 'rokar' to describe someone's grief; ensure the context is respectful. In some formal settings, 'vyathit hokar' might be more appropriate.
English speakers might find 'rokar' more dramatic than 'weepingly'. In English, we often use 'with tears in their eyes' or 'cryingly', though the latter is rare.
