टाँके लगाना در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Primarily means to apply medical stitches or sutures to close a physical wound.
- Also used in tailoring to describe the act of mending or specific stitching on fabric.
- A compound verb where 'tanke' is the noun (stitches) and 'lagana' is the action verb.
- Crucial for medical emergencies, tailoring discussions, and occasional metaphorical use in high-level Hindi.
The Hindi verbal phrase टाँके लगाना (tānke lagānā) is a sophisticated compound verb that primarily translates to "to stitch" or "to suture." While it is most commonly associated with medical procedures—specifically the act of closing a wound or a surgical incision—it also carries significant weight in the world of tailoring and repair. Understanding this phrase requires a grasp of its two components: टाँका (tānka), which refers to a single stitch, and the light verb लगाना (lagānā), which means to apply, attach, or fix. Together, they describe the precise action of pulling a needle and thread (or medical suture) through material or skin to hold it together. In a medical context, this is a C1-level term because it moves beyond the simple 'suturing' and involves understanding the gravity of physical injury or surgical intervention. When a doctor says, "टाँके लगाने पड़ेंगे" (Stitches will have to be applied), it conveys a necessity for professional care. In tailoring, it implies a more durable or specific type of mending compared to general sewing (सिलाई). Culturally, the phrase evokes images of both the sterile hospital environment and the traditional Indian tailor (दर्जी) sitting at a manual machine. The use of the plural टाँके suggests multiple stitches, which is the standard way the phrase is used, as one rarely applies just a single stitch in these contexts.
- Medical Context
- Used by surgeons and nurses to describe the closing of lacerations or surgical sites. Example: 'सर्जन ने घाव पर बहुत सफाई से टाँके लगाए।' (The surgeon applied stitches to the wound very neatly.)
गहरी चोट होने के कारण डॉक्टर को दस टाँके लगाने पड़े। (Due to the deep injury, the doctor had to apply ten stitches.)
Beyond the physical, this phrase can occasionally be used metaphorically in advanced Hindi literature to describe the 'mending' of relationships or the 'patching up' of social divisions, though this is less common than its literal counterparts. In modern urban Hindi, you might hear it in the context of high-fashion tailoring where precision is key. The phonetic stress lies on the first syllable of 'टाँके' (tān-), with a distinct nasalization represented by the chandrabindu. Mastering this word allows a learner to navigate medical emergencies in Hindi-speaking regions and discuss craftsmanship with nuance. It is a bridge between everyday utility and technical vocabulary.
- Tailoring Context
- Refers to specific, often decorative or reinforcing stitches on fabric. 'दर्जी ने कोट की जेब पर मज़बूत टाँके लगाए।' (The tailor put strong stitches on the coat pocket.)
क्या आप इस फटी हुई चादर पर टाँके लगा सकते हैं? (Can you put stitches on this torn sheet?)
Using टाँके लगाना correctly requires attention to the subject-object relationship and the tense of the verb लगाना. Since लगाना is a transitive verb (सकर्मक क्रिया), when used in the perfective tense (past tense), the subject takes the postposition ने (ne). For example, "मैंने टाँके लगाए" (I applied stitches). The number of stitches is usually placed directly before the word 'टाँके'. If you are describing the location of the stitches, use the postposition पर (par) meaning 'on'. For instance, "सिर पर टाँके लगाना" (Applying stitches on the head). It is also important to distinguish between the person performing the action (the doctor or tailor) and the person receiving it. If you are the patient, you wouldn't say "मैंने टाँके लगाए" unless you stitched yourself; instead, you would say "मुझे टाँके लगे" (I got stitches).
- Past Tense (Perfective)
- Subject + ने + [Number] + टाँके + लगाए। Example: 'नर्स ने पाँच टाँके लगाए।' (The nurse applied five stitches.)
कल रात एक्सीडेंट के बाद मेरे पैर पर टाँके लगाए गए। (After the accident last night, stitches were applied to my leg.)
In the continuous tense, it describes an ongoing process: "डॉक्टर टाँके लगा रहे हैं" (The doctor is applying stitches). This is often heard in high-stress environments like emergency rooms. In the future tense, it indicates a planned action: "क्या आपको लगता है कि इस घाव पर टाँके लगाने पड़ेंगे?" (Do you think stitches will have to be applied to this wound?). The word 'टाँके' remains plural in most contexts because a single stitch ('टाँका') is rarely sufficient for medical or structural repairs. However, in embroidery or fine needlework, one might say "एक टाँका लगाना" (to apply one stitch) to indicate a specific decorative move. Understanding these grammatical nuances ensures that the learner sounds natural and precise.
- Future Tense
- Subject + टाँके + लगाएगा/लगाएगी। Example: 'डॉक्टर कल टाँके लगाएगा।' (The doctor will apply stitches tomorrow.)
चिंता मत करो, मैं बहुत सावधानी से टाँके लगाऊँगा ताकि निशान न रहे। (Don't worry, I will apply stitches very carefully so that no scar remains.)
The most common place to hear टाँके लगाना is within the walls of a hospital or a local clinic (डिस्पेंसरी). In India, where minor accidents are often treated in small private clinics, a patient might ask, "कितने टाँके आए?" (How many stitches came/were needed?), and the doctor would respond, "हमने चार टाँके लगाए हैं" (We have applied four stitches). You will also encounter this phrase in news reports covering accidents or violence, where the severity of an injury is often quantified by the number of stitches required. For example, a news anchor might say, "पीड़ित के सिर पर बारह टाँके लगाए गए हैं" (Twelve stitches have been applied to the victim's head). This quantification serves as a linguistic shorthand for the seriousness of the wound.
- In News and Media
- Reports on sports injuries or accidents. Example: 'मैच के दौरान खिलाड़ी की आँख के पास टाँके लगाने पड़े।' (Stitches had to be applied near the player's eye during the match.)
अस्पताल के इमरजेंसी वार्ड में अक्सर टाँके लगाने की आवाज़ें और चर्चाएँ सुनी जाती हैं। (In the emergency ward of the hospital, sounds and discussions of applying stitches are often heard.)
Another frequent setting is the tailor shop (दर्जी की दुकान). While 'सिलाई' (silai) is the general word for sewing, 'टाँके लगाना' is used for specific repairs, such as fixing a tear in a expensive 'Sherwani' or 'Lehenga'. A tailor might say, "मैं यहाँ कच्चे टाँके लगा देता हूँ" (I will put temporary/loose stitches here) during a fitting. In television dramas (soap operas), the phrase is often used dramatically during scenes following a fight or an accident to evoke sympathy for a character. Even in literature, authors use the meticulousness of 'टाँके लगाना' to symbolize a character's patience or their attempt to fix a broken life. It is a word that straddles the line between the clinical and the domestic, the emergency and the craft.
- In Daily Life
- Mending clothes at home. 'माँ ने मेरी फटी हुई कमीज़ पर टाँके लगाए।' (Mother put stitches on my torn shirt.)
दर्जी ने बहुत बारीकी से रेशमी कपड़े पर टाँके लगाए। (The tailor applied stitches very finely on the silk cloth.)
One of the most frequent errors English speakers make is using the verb करना (karnā) instead of लगाना (lagānā). While "to do stitches" might make sense in some languages, in Hindi, "टाँके करना" is incorrect and sounds unnatural. The action is always perceived as 'applying' or 'fixing' the stitches onto a surface, hence लगाना is mandatory. Another common mistake is confusing टाँके लगाना with सिलाई करना. While both involve a needle and thread, सिलाई is the general act of sewing or tailoring a garment from scratch, whereas टाँके लगाना specifically refers to the act of joining two edges together, usually to repair a tear or close a wound. Using the general term in a medical emergency might lead to confusion; a doctor 'stitches a wound' (टाँके लगाता है), they don't 'sew' it in the general sense (सिलाई करता है).
- Incorrect Verb Choice
- Mistake: 'डॉक्टर ने टाँके किए।' (The doctor did stitches.) - Correct: 'डॉक्टर ने टाँके लगाए।' (The doctor applied stitches.)
लोग अक्सर टाँके लगाने और सिलाई करने के बीच भ्रमित हो जाते हैं। (People often get confused between applying stitches and sewing.)
Pronunciation is another area where learners stumble. The word टाँके has a nasalized 'ā' (ँ). Omitting the nasal sound and saying 'take' (like the English word) makes it unintelligible. Furthermore, learners often forget the ने postposition in the past tense. Saying "डॉक्टर टाँके लगाए" is grammatically incomplete; it must be "डॉक्टर ने टाँके लगाए." Lastly, be careful with the singular/plural distinction. While 'टाँका लगाना' (singular) is grammatically possible, it is rarely used unless you are literally talking about one single stitch. In almost all medical and repair contexts, the plural 'टाँके' is the standard. Over-relying on the singular can make your Hindi sound robotic or overly literal.
- Confusion with Related Phrases
- Don't confuse with 'टाँका भिड़ाना' which is a slang idiom for starting a romantic affair or 'fixing' a deal, often in a slightly negative or sneaky sense.
बिना नासिका स्वर के टाँके बोलना गलत है। (Saying 'tanke' without the nasal sound is wrong.)
When you want to expand your vocabulary beyond टाँके लगाना, several alternatives and related terms can add precision to your speech. For a more formal or academic medical context, you might encounter the term सीवन (seevan) or टाँकाकरण (tankakaran), though the latter is extremely rare in spoken Hindi. In general tailoring, सिलाई करना (silai karna) is the most common alternative, but it covers the entire process of making clothes. If you are specifically talking about mending a small hole, रफ़ू करना (rafu karna)—meaning 'to darn'—is a more accurate choice. रफ़ू involves weaving thread across a hole to reconstruct the fabric, which is more complex than a simple stitch. Another related verb is टाँकना (tānknā), which means 'to tack' or 'to stitch something onto something else,' like a button or a patch.
- टाँके लगाना vs. सिलाई करना
- 'टाँके लगाना' is for closing wounds or specific repairs; 'सिलाई करना' is the general art of sewing clothes.
फटे हुए कपड़ों के लिए रफ़ू करना बेहतर विकल्प हो सकता है। (Darning might be a better option for torn clothes.)
In a surgical context, you might also hear स्टिच करना (stitch karna), as English medical terms are very common in urban India. However, using the native Hindi term टाँके लगाना shows a higher level of linguistic competence. If you are discussing the removal of stitches, the phrase changes to टाँके काटना (tanke kātnā) or टाँके खोलना (tanke kholnā). 'Kātnā' (to cut) is used because the medical threads are literally cut to be removed. Understanding these variations allows you to describe the entire lifecycle of a wound's treatment, from the initial injury to the final removal of medical aids. Each word carries a specific nuance of the action's intent and the tools used.
- टाँके लगाना vs. रफ़ू करना
- 'टाँके लगाना' is joining edges; 'रफ़ू करना' is weaving thread to fill a hole (darning).
जब घाव भर जाता है, तब डॉक्टर टाँके काट देते हैं। (When the wound heals, the doctor cuts/removes the stitches.)

نکته جالب
The word 'Tanka' was also historically used for a specific weight or coin in India, suggesting a 'mark' or 'stamp,' similar to how a stitch leaves a mark.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing 'Tānke' as 'Take' (omitting the nasal sound).
- Pronouncing 'Lagānā' as 'Lagna' (mixing up the verb forms).
- Aspirating the 'T' too much (Hindi 'T' is retroflex but soft).
- Using a hard English 'N' instead of the nasalization.
- Failing to lengthen the final 'ā' in 'lagānā'.
سطح دشواری
The nasalization in 'टाँके' can be tricky for beginners to identify in text.
Requires knowledge of the 'ne' rule in the past tense.
The nasalized 'ā' and the retroflex 'T' require practice.
Common in medical and tailoring contexts, usually easy to hear due to clear 't' sound.

نکات
Use 'ne' in the past
Always remember: 'Doctor NE tanke lagaye.' Since lagana is transitive, the subject needs 'ne'.
Nasalize it
The chandrabindu (ँ) in टाँके is important. Don't say 'take' like the English word.
Medical vs Tailoring
In a hospital, it's a suture. At a tailor, it's a mend. The word works for both!
Learn the antonym
Know 'tanke kholna' (to remove stitches) to complete your knowledge.
Watch out for slang
'Tanka bhidana' is about romance, not sewing! Don't mix them up in formal settings.
Spelling
Don't forget the dot or chandrabindu over the 'Tā' (टा).
Number focus
Listen for numbers like 'do', 'paanch', 'dus' before 'tanke' to understand the context.
Hospital talk
In India, people often ask 'Kitne tanke aaye?' to ask about the severity of a cut.
Kaccha Tanka
Use 'Kaccha Tanka' to describe something that isn't permanent or strong.
Don't say 'silai'
If someone is bleeding, ask for 'tanke', not 'silai'. 'Silai' sounds like you're asking for a fashion designer.
حفظ کنید
روش یادسپاری
Think of 'Tānke' as 'Tension' + 'K' (Key). You use 'Tānke' to keep the tension in the skin or cloth. 'Lagānā' is like 'Laying' the thread.

Imagine a giant needle pulling a bright red thread through a golden fabric. Every time the needle goes in, say 'Tānka!'

چالش
Try to use 'Tānke Lagānā' in three different contexts today: medical, tailoring, and metaphorical.
ریشه کلمه
Derived from the Sanskrit root 'तन्' (tan), meaning 'to stretch' or 'to extend.' This root evolved into 'टाँका' in Prakrit and then Hindi, referring to the tension of the thread in a stitch.
معنای اصلی: To extend a thread across a gap.
Indo-Aryanبافت فرهنگی
Be careful when discussing medical stitches with people who have phobias of needles. Use the term 'सिलाई' (silai) for clothes if you want to sound less clinical.
English speakers often just say 'get stitches.' In Hindi, the active 'apply stitches' is more common in medical descriptions.

Summary
The phrase 'टाँके लगाना' (tānke lagānā) is the standard Hindi term for suturing a wound or stitching fabric. For example, 'डॉक्टर ने पाँच टाँके लगाए' (The doctor applied five stitches). Remember to use 'lagana' (to apply) and not 'karna' (to do).
- Primarily means to apply medical stitches or sutures to close a physical wound.
- Also used in tailoring to describe the act of mending or specific stitching on fabric.
- A compound verb where 'tanke' is the noun (stitches) and 'lagana' is the action verb.
- Crucial for medical emergencies, tailoring discussions, and occasional metaphorical use in high-level Hindi.
Use 'ne' in the past
Always remember: 'Doctor NE tanke lagaye.' Since lagana is transitive, the subject needs 'ne'.
Nasalize it
The chandrabindu (ँ) in टाँके is important. Don't say 'take' like the English word.
Medical vs Tailoring
In a hospital, it's a suture. At a tailor, it's a mend. The word works for both!
Learn the antonym
Know 'tanke kholna' (to remove stitches) to complete your knowledge.
