धुलना در ۳۰ ثانیه
- धुलना (dhulnā) means to get washed.
- It's a passive verb, focusing on the item being cleaned.
- Used for clothes, hands, cars, and more.
- Essential for daily Hindi conversations.
The Hindi verb 'धुलना' (dhulnā) is a fundamental word that describes the action of something becoming clean through washing, specifically with water. It implies a passive process, meaning the subject itself is undergoing the cleaning, rather than actively performing the cleaning. Think of it as 'to get washed' or 'to be cleaned'.
This word is incredibly common in everyday life. You'll hear it used for a wide range of items and situations where cleaning with water is involved. For instance, when your clothes are dirty and you put them in the washing machine, you can say, 'मेरे कपड़े धुल रहे हैं' (mere kapṛe dhul rahe haiṅ - my clothes are getting washed). Similarly, if your hands are dirty and you wash them, you're essentially performing the action of 'धुलना' on your hands. The focus is on the outcome of becoming clean.
It's also used for inanimate objects that get cleaned with water. For example, a car that has been washed is said to have 'धुल गया' (dhul gayā - has gotten washed). The term is versatile and can apply to anything from personal hygiene to household chores. Understanding 'धुलना' is crucial for comprehending simple daily interactions and activities in Hindi, as it's a core verb related to cleanliness and maintenance.
Consider the context of food preparation. Vegetables are washed before cooking, and one might say, 'सब्जियाँ धुलनी चाहिए' (sabziyāṅ dhulnī cāhie - vegetables should be washed). This highlights the passive nature of the verb, where the vegetables are the recipients of the washing action. The verb 'धुलना' is often used in conjunction with words indicating dirt or impurity, emphasizing the transformation from a dirty state to a clean one. It's a word that you will encounter very frequently as you learn Hindi.
The nuance of 'धुलना' lies in its passive implication. While there are active verbs for washing (like 'धोना' - dhonā, to wash something actively), 'धुलना' focuses on the state of being washed. This distinction is important for accurate communication. For example, you don't 'धुलना' your clothes yourself; you 'धोते हैं' (dhote haiṅ - you wash them) or you let them 'धुलना' (dhulnā - get washed). This passive quality makes it a useful verb for describing natural processes or actions performed by external agents without explicitly naming them.
In essence, 'धुलना' is about the process and result of being cleansed by water. It's a simple yet essential verb that forms the backbone of many everyday conversations related to hygiene, cleanliness, and maintenance of belongings. Mastering this word will open up a significant avenue of understanding for basic Hindi communication.
- Key Aspect
- Passive action of becoming clean with water.
- Common Scenarios
- Washing clothes, hands, dishes, cars, vegetables, floors.
- Grammatical Implication
- The subject of the sentence is the recipient of the washing action.
कपड़े धुलना चाहते हैं। (Kapṛe dhulnā cāhte haiṅ.) - The clothes want to get washed. (Meaning: The clothes need to be washed.)
Using 'धुलना' (dhulnā) correctly involves understanding its passive nature. The subject of the sentence is what gets cleaned. Common grammatical constructions involve the present continuous tense to describe something currently being washed, or the perfect tense to indicate that something has been washed.
Present Continuous Tense: To say something is currently getting washed, you would use the structure: Subject + 'धुल रहा है' (dhul rahā hai - masculine singular), 'धुल रही है' (dhul rahī hai - feminine singular), or 'धुल रहे हैं' (dhul rahe haiṅ - masculine plural or respectful singular). For example: 'गाड़ी धुल रही है।' (gāṛī dhul rahī hai - The car is getting washed.)
Perfect Tense: To indicate that something has been washed, you use the structure: Subject + 'धुल गया' (dhul gayā - masculine singular), 'धुल गई' (dhul gaī - feminine singular), or 'धुल गए' (dhul gae - masculine plural or respectful singular). For example: 'मेरे सारे कपड़े धुल गए।' (mere sāre kapṛe dhul gae - All my clothes have gotten washed.)
Imperative/Suggestive Mood: You can also use it to suggest or command that something be washed. For instance: 'यह शर्ट धुलनी चाहिए।' (yah śarṭ dhulnī cāhie - This shirt needs to be washed/should be washed.) The form of 'धुलनी' agrees with the gender of 'शर्ट' (shirt - feminine).
Infinitive Form: The infinitive form 'धुलना' itself can be used in constructions like 'I want to get something washed' or 'It needs to get washed'. For example: 'मुझे अपने जूते धुलवाने हैं।' (mujhe apne jūte dhulvāne haiṅ - I have to get my shoes washed.) Note that 'धुलवाना' (dhulvānā) is a causative verb meaning 'to get something washed', which is related but distinct. However, the infinitive 'धुलना' can appear in contexts like: 'यह काम धुलना अभी बाकी है।' (yah kām dhulnā abhī bākī hai - This work of getting cleaned is still pending.)
With Adverbs: You can add adverbs to describe how something gets washed, e.g., 'कपड़े अच्छे से धुल गए।' (kapṛe acche se dhul gae - The clothes got washed well.)
Remember to pay attention to the gender and number of the subject when conjugating the verb 'धुलना' in different tenses. This will ensure your sentences are grammatically correct and sound natural to a native speaker.
- Present Continuous
- Subject + धुल रहा/रही/रहे है/हैं (indicating ongoing washing).
- Perfect Tense
- Subject + धुल गया/गई/गए (indicating completion of washing).
- Modal Verbs
- Used with verbs like 'चाहिए' (cāhie - should/need to) for suggestions.
मेरे हाथ गंदे हैं, उन्हें धुलना होगा। (Mere hāth gande haiṅ, unheṅ dhulnā hogā.) - My hands are dirty, they will have to be washed.
You'll hear 'धुलना' (dhulnā) in countless everyday situations in Hindi-speaking regions. It's a word deeply embedded in daily routines and conversations related to cleanliness and maintenance.
In Homes: Parents often tell their children, 'हाथ धुल लो!' (hāth dhul lo! - Wash your hands!) or 'बर्तन धुल गए?' (bartan dhul gae? - Have the dishes gotten washed?). When doing laundry, someone might say, 'यह साड़ी धुलने में थोड़ी मुश्किल है।' (yah sāṛī dhulne meṅ thoṛī muśkil hai - This saree is a bit difficult to wash/get washed).
In Public Places: At a car wash, you'll hear announcements like, 'आपकी गाड़ी धुलने के लिए तैयार है।' (āpkī gāṛī dhulne ke lie taiyār hai - Your car is ready to be washed). In laundromats or dry cleaners, the staff might explain the process, 'आपके कपड़े मशीन में धुलेंगे।' (āpke kapṛe maśīn meṅ dhuleṅge - Your clothes will be washed in the machine).
In Markets and Shops: When buying fruits or vegetables, vendors might remind customers, 'ये अच्छे से धुल कर खाइए।' (ye acche se dhul kar khāie - Eat these after washing them well). This uses the imperative form of the related active verb 'धोना' (dhonā), but the concept of 'getting washed' is central.
In Media and Advertisements: Cleaning product commercials frequently use this word. For example, a detergent ad might claim, 'यह डिटर्जेंट कपड़ों को बेदाग धुलवाता है।' (yah ḍeṭarjenṭ kapṛoṅ ko bedāg dhulvātā hai - This detergent gets clothes washed spotless). Here, the causative 'धुलवाना' is used, but it's directly related to the idea of 'धुलना'. You might also hear about the water quality: 'पानी से सब कुछ धुल जाता है।' (pānī se sab kuchh dhul jātā hai - Everything gets washed away with water).
Conversational Contexts: Friends might discuss their chores: 'आज मैंने सारे पर्दे धुलवाए।' (āj maiṅne sāre parde dhulvāe - Today I got all the curtains washed). Or complaining about weather: 'बारिश में सब कुछ धुल गया।' (bāriś meṅ sab kuchh dhul gayā - Everything got washed away in the rain).
The word is ubiquitous in any context where water is used for cleaning. Whether it's a simple domestic chore or a larger industrial process, 'धुलना' captures the essence of becoming clean through water. Listening to native speakers in these scenarios will provide ample practice and reinforce your understanding.
- Domestic Chores
- Used for washing clothes, dishes, hands, and cleaning homes.
- Commercial Services
- Heard in car washes, laundromats, and cleaning services.
- Consumer Products
- Frequently used in advertisements for detergents and cleaning agents.
आपके कपड़े इस नए डिटर्जेंट से अच्छे से धुलेंगे। (Āpke kapṛe is nae ḍeṭarjenṭ se acche se dhuleṅge.) - Your clothes will wash well with this new detergent.
Learners of Hindi often make a few common mistakes when using the verb 'धुलना' (dhulnā), primarily stemming from confusion with its active counterpart, 'धोना' (dhonā), or incorrect conjugation.
Mistake 1: Using 'धुलना' when 'धोना' is intended. This is the most frequent error. 'धुलना' is passive (to get washed), while 'धोना' is active (to wash). For example, saying 'मैं कपड़े धुलता हूँ।' (main kapṛe dhultā hūṅ) is incorrect if you mean 'I wash clothes'. The correct sentence would be 'मैं कपड़े धोता हूँ।' (main kapṛe dhota hūṅ). If you mean 'My clothes are getting washed', then 'मेरे कपड़े धुल रहे हैं।' is correct.
Mistake 2: Incorrect gender/number agreement. Like many Hindi verbs, the form of 'धुलना' changes based on the gender and number of the subject. Forgetting this leads to errors. For instance, saying 'गाड़ी धुल रहे हैं।' is wrong if 'गाड़ी' (gāṛī - car) is feminine singular. The correct form is 'गाड़ी धुल रही है।' (gāṛī dhul rahī hai).
Mistake 3: Confusion with causative verbs. Sometimes learners might use 'धुलना' when they mean 'to get something washed' (causative). The causative verb is 'धुलवाना' (dhulvānā). For example, saying 'मैं अपने बाल धुलना चाहता हूँ।' (main apne bāl dhulnā cāhtā hūṅ) is not ideal. It should be 'मैं अपने बाल धुलवाना चाहता हूँ।' (main apne bāl dhulvānā cāhtā hūṅ - I want to get my hair washed).
Mistake 4: Overusing the infinitive form. While the infinitive 'धुलना' can be used in certain constructions (e.g., 'यह धुलना ज़रूरी है' - yah dhulnā zarūrī hai - This needs to be washed), learners might incorrectly use it where a conjugated form is required. For example, saying 'कल मेरे कपड़े धुलना।' (kal mere kapṛe dhulnā) instead of 'कल मेरे कपड़े धुलेंगे।' (kal mere kapṛe dhuleṅge - Tomorrow my clothes will be washed).
Mistake 5: Literal translation from English. Sometimes, a direct translation from English can lead to errors. For instance, trying to translate 'The clothes washed themselves' might lead to an incorrect sentence. In Hindi, you would say 'कपड़े खुद धुले।' (kapṛe khud dhule - Clothes got washed by themselves), using the perfect tense, or perhaps a more nuanced phrasing.
To avoid these mistakes, focus on the passive meaning of 'धुलना' and practice conjugating it correctly according to gender, number, and tense. Always differentiate it from the active verb 'धोना'.
- Active vs. Passive
- Confusing 'धुलना' (to get washed) with 'धोना' (to wash).
- Grammatical Agreement
- Incorrectly conjugating the verb based on gender and number of the subject.
- Causative Confusion
- Using 'धुलना' instead of the causative 'धुलवाना' (to get something washed).
Incorrect: मैं अपनी कार धुलता हूँ। (Main apnī kār dhultā hūṅ.)
Correct: मैं अपनी कार धुलवाना चाहता हूँ। (Main apnī kār dhulvānā cāhtā hūṅ.) - I want to get my car washed.
While 'धुलना' (dhulnā) specifically means 'to get washed' or 'to be cleaned with water' passively, Hindi offers other related verbs and phrases that convey similar or adjacent meanings, each with its own nuances.
1. धोना (dhonā): This is the most direct active counterpart to 'धुलना'. While 'धुलना' is passive, 'धोना' is active and means 'to wash' (something). If you are the one doing the washing, you use 'धोना'.
- धुलना vs. धोना
- 'धुलना' is passive (to get washed). 'धोना' is active (to wash).
- Example
- कपड़े धुल रहे हैं। (Kapṛe dhul rahe haiṅ - Clothes are getting washed.) vs. मैं कपड़े धो रहा हूँ। (Main kapṛe dho rahā hūṅ - I am washing clothes.)
2. साफ़ करना (sāf karnā): This phrase means 'to clean' in a general sense. It can involve washing with water, but it can also mean dusting, wiping, or tidying up. 'धुलना' is more specific to water-based cleaning.
- धुलना vs. साफ़ करना
- 'धुलना' implies cleaning with water. 'साफ़ करना' is a broader term for cleaning.
- Example
- कमरा साफ़ करो। (Kamrā sāf karo - Clean the room.) vs. फर्श धुल गया। (Farś dhul gayā - The floor got washed.)
3. स्वच्छ करना (svaccha karnā): Similar to 'साफ़ करना', this also means 'to make clean' or 'to purify'. It often carries a more formal or slightly more profound sense of cleanliness, sometimes even moral or spiritual purity, though it can also be used for physical cleaning.
- धुलना vs. स्वच्छ करना
- 'धुलना' is specific to water washing. 'स्वच्छ करना' is a more general and sometimes formal term for making clean.
- Example
- हाथ धुल गए। (Hāth dhul gae - Hands got washed.) vs. वातावरण को स्वच्छ करना ज़रूरी है। (Vātāvaraṇ ko svaccha karnā zarūrī hai - It is important to clean the environment.)
4. धुलवाना (dhulvānā): This is the causative form of 'धुलना', meaning 'to get something washed' or 'to have something washed'. It implies that you are arranging for the washing to be done by someone else.
- धुलना vs. धुलवाना
- 'धुलना' is to be washed. 'धुलवाना' is to get something washed.
- Example
- मेरी शर्ट धुल गई। (Merī śarṭ dhul gaī - My shirt got washed.) vs. मैंने अपनी शर्ट धुलवाई। (Maine apnī śarṭ dhulvāī - I got my shirt washed.)
Understanding these distinctions will help you choose the most precise verb for the context, leading to more accurate and natural Hindi expression.
The choice between 'धुलना' and 'धोना' depends on who is performing the action of washing.

Both relate to the concept of washing and cleaning.
'धोना' is active (I wash), while 'धुलना' is passive (it gets washed). You 'धोते हैं' (wash) clothes, and the clothes 'धुलते हैं' (get washed).
मैं हाथ <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धोता</mark> हूँ। (I wash my hands.) vs. मेरे हाथ <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धुल</mark> गए। (My hands got washed.)
Both involve the idea of washing and are related to the root 'धु'.
'धुलना' is the act of getting washed. 'धुलवाना' is the act of causing something to be washed by someone else. It's the causative form.
मैं कपड़े <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धुलता</mark> हूँ। (Incorrect, implies clothes wash themselves) vs. मैं कपड़े <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धुलवाता</mark> हूँ। (I get clothes washed.)
Both relate to the state of being clean.
'साफ़' is an adjective meaning 'clean'. 'धुलना' is a verb meaning 'to get washed' or 'to become clean' (often implying through washing).

For example, 'मैं कपड़े <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धोता</mark> हूँ' (I wash clothes), not 'मैं कपड़े <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धुलता</mark> हूँ'.

'कपड़े <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धुल गए</mark>' (masculine plural) is correct, not 'धुल गया'.

'धुलना' is to be washed. 'धुलवाना' is to get something washed. 'मुझे अपने कपड़े <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धुलवाने</mark> हैं' (I have to get my clothes washed) is correct, not 'मुझे अपने कपड़े <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धुलने</mark> हैं' if you mean getting them washed by someone else.

Using 'धुलना' for general cleaning.
→
Using 'धुलना' only for cleaning with water.
'धुलना' specifically implies washing with water. For cleaning without water (like dusting or wiping), use 'साफ़ करना' or 'पोंछना'. For example, you dust a table ('टेबल <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>साफ़</mark> करो'), you don't 'धुलना' it.

Literal translation from English.

In Hindi, it might be 'कपड़े खुद <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>धुल</mark> गए' (Clothes got washed by themselves), focusing on the passive outcome.

سوالات متداول
10 سوال'धुलना' (dhulnā) is a passive verb meaning 'to get washed' or 'to be washed'. The subject of the sentence is the thing being washed. For example, 'मेरे कपड़े धुल रहे हैं' (My clothes are getting washed). 'धोना' (dhonā) is an active verb meaning 'to wash'. The subject is the person or thing doing the washing. For example, 'मैं कपड़े धोता हूँ' (I wash clothes).
You use 'धुलना' when you want to say that something is getting cleaned with water, and the focus is on the item itself being washed, not on who is doing the washing. This includes washing clothes, dishes, cars, floors, hands, vegetables, etc.
Like most Hindi verbs, 'धुलना' conjugates based on the tense, aspect, mood, and the gender and number of the subject. For example, in the present continuous, it's 'धुल रहा है' (masculine singular), 'धुल रही है' (feminine singular), 'धुल रहे हैं' (masculine plural or respectful singular). In the perfect tense, it's 'धुल गया' (masculine singular), 'धुल गई' (feminine singular), 'धुल गए' (masculine plural or respectful singular).
