विरासत देना در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Used for passing on inheritance or legacy.
- Refers to both physical wealth and intangible values.
- Often used with the postposition 'meṃ' (in).
- A formal and respectful way to talk about giving.
The Hindi verb विरासत देना (virāsat denā) is a profound expression that transcends the mere act of giving. At its core, it translates to 'to bequeath' or 'to pass on as an inheritance.' However, its usage in Hindi-speaking cultures is deeply intertwined with the concepts of lineage, continuity, and duty. Unlike the simple act of giving a gift (upahār denā), 'virāsat denā' implies a transfer of something that has historical, emotional, or ancestral value. It is most commonly used when discussing the transfer of property, wealth, or titles from one generation to the next, often through a formal will or a deathbed declaration.
- Literal Application
- In a legal sense, it refers to the act of a person designating their assets to be given to their heirs. For example, a father might bequeath his ancestral home to his daughter.
दादाजी ने अपनी पूरी संपत्ति अपने पोतों को विरासत में दी। (Grandfather passed on his entire property as an inheritance to his grandsons.)
Beyond the material, 'virāsat denā' is frequently used metaphorically. It describes the transmission of intangible assets such as values, culture, traditions, and even genetic traits. When a parent teaches a child the importance of honesty, they are 'giving a legacy' of integrity. In political and social discourse, leaders often speak about the legacy they wish to leave behind for the nation. This dual nature makes the phrase essential for B1 learners who are moving from concrete descriptions to more abstract concepts. It captures the essence of 'Sanskriti' (culture) and 'Parampara' (tradition).
- Metaphorical Application
- Passing on wisdom, a specific craft, or a family secret. It suggests that the receiver has a responsibility to preserve what they have been given.
हमें अपने बच्चों को अच्छे संस्कार विरासत में देने चाहिए। (We should pass on good values as a legacy to our children.)
The emotional weight of 'virāsat denā' cannot be overstated. In Indian society, where family ties are paramount, the act of 'giving inheritance' is seen as a fulfillment of a life's work. It is not just about the end of a life, but the beginning of a new chapter for the family. Whether it is a mother passing down her jewelry or a musician passing down a unique style of singing to a disciple, 'virāsat denā' signifies a bridge between the past and the future. It is a word of weight, respect, and long-term vision.
- Social Context
- Often heard during family meetings, legal consultations, or historical documentaries about royal lineages.
इतिहासकारों का मानना है कि राजा ने अपनी बहादुरी की कहानियाँ अपनी प्रजा को विरासत में दीं। (Historians believe the king passed on stories of his bravery as a legacy to his subjects.)
Using विरासत देना (virāsat denā) correctly requires understanding its grammatical structure as a compound verb. The word 'virāsat' functions as a noun (inheritance), and 'denā' is the helper verb (to give). Because 'denā' is a transitive verb, the subject usually takes the ergative marker 'ne' in the perfective tenses (past tense). This is a common hurdle for English speakers, but mastering it is key to sounding natural in Hindi.
- Perfective Tense (Past)
- Subject + Ne + Object + Virāsat + Dī/Diyā/Diye. The verb agrees with the object. Example: 'Usne apnī kitābeṃ mujhe virāsat meṃ dīṃ' (He/She gave his/her books to me in inheritance).
पिताजी ने अपना व्यापार अपने बेटे को विरासत में दिया। (Father passed on his business to his son as an inheritance.)
In the present and future tenses, the 'ne' marker is not used. You can say 'Main apnī kalā apne śiṣya ko virāsat meṃ dūṅgā' (I will give my art to my student in inheritance). Notice the use of 'meṃ' (in) which often accompanies 'virāsat' to create the phrase 'virāsat meṃ denā'. This is more common than just 'virāsat denā' in everyday speech, though both are technically correct. The 'meṃ' emphasizes the status of the gift as an inheritance.
- Future Tense
- Subject + Object + Ko + Virāsat + Degā/Degī. Example: 'Vah apnī sampatti kisko virāsat meṃ degā?' (To whom will he bequeath his property?)
क्या आप अपनी संस्कृति को अगली पीढ़ी को विरासत में देंगे? (Will you pass on your culture as a legacy to the next generation?)
When using the verb in a passive or formal context, such as in a legal document, you might see 'virāsat meṃ milnā' (to receive in inheritance) which is the counterpart to 'virāsat denā'. Understanding both allows you to describe the full transaction of legacy. For instance, 'Mujhe yah ghar virāsat meṃ milā' (I received this house in inheritance) versus 'Mere dādā ne yah ghar mujhe virāsat meṃ diyā' (My grandfather gave this house to me in inheritance). Using these together helps build complex narratives about family history.
- Conditional Usage
- If a condition is involved: 'Agar main amīr hotā, to main bahut kuchh virāsat meṃ detā' (If I were rich, I would give a lot in inheritance).
वह अपनी बुद्धिमानी अपने बच्चों को विरासत में देना चाहता है। (He wants to pass on his wisdom as a legacy to his children.)
The phrase विरासत देना (virāsat denā) is not a word you will hear in a casual conversation about buying groceries. Instead, it occupies a more formal and emotionally charged space in Indian life. One of the most common places to hear it is in family dramas (movies or TV serials) where the plot often revolves around a patriarch or matriarch deciding how to distribute their wealth. In these contexts, the word carries a sense of finality and immense responsibility.
- In Cinema and Literature
- Dialogue like 'Main tumhe apnī virāsat de rahā hūṃ, ise sambhāl kar rakhnā' (I am giving you my legacy, keep it safely) is a staple of Bollywood drama, signifying the passing of the torch.
फिल्म में, मरते हुए राजा ने अपना राज्य अपने वफादार सेनापति को विरासत में दिया। (In the film, the dying king passed on his kingdom to his loyal general as an inheritance.)
You will also encounter this word frequently in political speeches. Indian politicians often talk about the 'virāsat' given to them by the founding fathers of the nation, or the legacy they intend to 'give' to the future citizens. In this context, it refers to democratic values, secularism, and national pride. News reports covering the deaths of famous artists, writers, or industrialists will use 'virāsat denā' to describe the body of work they have left behind for the world to cherish.
- News and Media
- 'Mahān kalākār ne apnī adbhut kalā duniyā ko virāsat meṃ dī' (The great artist passed on his wonderful art as a legacy to the world).
नेताजी ने कहा कि हमें एक शांतिपूर्ण देश अगली पीढ़ी को विरासत में देना है। (The leader said that we have to pass on a peaceful country as a legacy to the next generation.)
Lastly, in religious or spiritual discourses, gurus might speak about 'virāsat denā' in terms of spiritual knowledge (gyān). They don't just teach; they bequeath their wisdom to their disciples to ensure the lineage of thought continues. This highlights the word's versatility—from gold coins and land deeds to the most abstract philosophies and national identities. Hearing it suggests that the topic is serious, historical, and significant for the future.
- Spiritual Context
- The passing of a 'Mantra' or spiritual lineage from a Guru to a Shishya is often described as giving a spiritual inheritance.
गुरु ने अपना सारा आध्यात्मिक ज्ञान अपने शिष्य को विरासत में दिया। (The Guru passed on all his spiritual knowledge as a legacy to his disciple.)
One of the most frequent mistakes learners make with विरासत देना (virāsat denā) is using it for ordinary acts of giving. You wouldn't use this word if you are giving a pen to a friend or a birthday present. Using 'virāsat denā' for trivial items sounds overly dramatic or even sarcastic. Always reserve it for things that have lasting value or are passed down through generations. If it's just a gift, stick with 'denā' or 'tohfa denā'.
- Mistake 1: Overuse for Small Gifts
- Incorrect: 'Maine apne dost ko ek kitāb virāsat meṃ dī' (I gave a book to my friend in inheritance). Correct: 'Maine apne dost ko ek kitāb tohfe meṃ dī' (I gave a book to my friend as a gift).
गलत: मैंने उसे अपनी पुरानी घड़ी विरासत में दी। (Wrong: I gave him my old watch as inheritance - unless it's a family heirloom.)
Another common error involves the grammatical agreement when using 'ne' in the past tense. Since 'denā' is the main verb, the past tense form must agree with the gender and number of the object being given, not the person giving it. If you are giving 'paisa' (money, masculine), it's 'diyā'. If you are giving 'sampatti' (property, feminine), it's 'dī'. Beginners often default to the masculine singular 'diyā' regardless of the object, which is a tell-tale sign of a non-native speaker.
- Mistake 2: Gender Agreement Errors
- If the object is feminine like 'āshīrvād' (blessing - though usually masc, let's use 'seekh' - lesson), the verb should be 'dī'. Example: 'Usne mujhe ek seekh virāsat meṃ dī' (He gave me a lesson in legacy).
सही: उसने अपनी सारी ज़मीन (fem.) बेटों को विरासत में दी। (Correct: He passed on all his land to his sons as inheritance.)
Lastly, confusion exists between 'virāsat denā' (to give inheritance) and 'vasiyat karnā' (to make a will). While they are related, 'vasiyat karnā' is the legal act of writing the document, whereas 'virāsat denā' is the broader act of passing something on, whether legally or naturally. You can 'virāsat denā' your musical talent to your child without any legal paperwork, but you cannot 'vasiyat karnā' talent. Mixing these up in a legal context can lead to misunderstandings.
- Mistake 3: Legal vs. General Transfer
- Don't use 'vasiyat karnā' for intangible things like values. Use 'virāsat denā' for that. 'Vasiyat' is strictly for assets mentioned in a legal document.
गलत: उसने अपनी ईमानदारी की वसीयत की। (Wrong: He made a 'will' of his honesty. Better: He passed on honesty as a legacy.)
To truly master the concept of passing things on in Hindi, it helps to know the synonyms and related terms for विरासत देना (virāsat denā). Depending on the context—legal, casual, or poetic—different words might be more appropriate. The most formal synonym is उत्तराधिकार में देना (uttarādhikār meṃ denā), which literally means 'to give in succession'. This is used in very formal legal or historical texts when discussing the next in line for a throne or a massive corporation.
- उत्तराधिकार में देना (Uttarādhikār meṃ denā)
- Very formal. Used for succession of power, titles, or huge estates. Example: 'Rājā ne apnā rāj-pāṭ apne baṛe beṭe ko uttarādhikār meṃ diyā.'
कंपनी के मालिक ने अपनी कुर्सी अपने उत्तराधिकारी को सौंप दी। (The company owner handed over his position to his successor.)
Another common alternative is सौंपना (sauṃpnā), which means 'to entrust' or 'to hand over'. While it doesn't strictly mean inheritance, it is often used when someone is passing on a responsibility or a legacy while they are still alive. For instance, a retiring teacher might 'sauṃpnā' their classroom to a new teacher. It carries a sense of trust and care. Then there is वसीयत करना (vasiyat karnā), which we discussed earlier, focusing specifically on the legal document of a will.
- सौंपना (Sauṃpnā) vs. विरासत देना
- 'Sauṃpnā' is more about the act of handing over responsibility; 'Virāsat denā' is about the status of the item being passed down through generations.
पिता ने घर की चाबियाँ बहू को सौंप दीं। (The father entrusted the keys of the house to the daughter-in-law.)
In a more poetic or literary sense, you might hear छोड़ जाना (choṛ jānā), which means 'to leave behind'. This is often used after someone has passed away. 'Vah apne pīche ek mahān virāsat choṛ gaye' (He left behind a great legacy). This emphasizes the impact of the person on the world after they are gone. Understanding these nuances allows you to choose the word that fits the emotional 'temperature' of the situation you are describing.
- छोड़ जाना (Choṛ jānā)
- To leave behind. Often used in eulogies. Example: 'Gāndhījī hamāre liye satya aur ahiṃsā kī virāsat choṛ gaye.'
वह अपने बच्चों के लिए बहुत सारी यादें छोड़ गए। (He left behind many memories for his children.)

نکته جالب
In Urdu, the word 'virsā' (विर्सा) is used more commonly than 'virāsat', though both are understood. In Hindi, 'virāsat' has taken on a much broader cultural meaning than its original legal Arabic root.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing 'v' as 'w'. In Hindi, it's a labiodental flap, somewhere between v and w.
- Using an English retroflex 'd' for 'dena'. It should be dental (tongue against teeth).
- Making the 't' in 'virasat' aspirated (like 'th'). It should be a clean, unaspirated 't'.
- Shortening the 'a' in 'ra'. It must be long: vi-RAA-sat.
- Pronouncing 'dena' as 'deena'. The 'e' is like the 'e' in 'bed' but longer.
سطح دشواری
The word 'virāsat' is common in literature and news, making it moderately easy to recognize.
Requires knowledge of the 'ne' rule in past tense and gender agreement with the object.
Pronunciation is straightforward, but using it in the right context takes practice.
Common in movies and formal speeches, so learners will hear it often.

ریشه کلمه
The word 'विरासत' (virāsat) comes from the Arabic word 'Wiraatha' (وراثة), which means inheritance or heritage. It entered Hindi through Persian influence during the medieval period. The verb 'देना' (denā) comes from the Sanskrit root 'Dā' (दा), which means 'to give'.
معنای اصلی: Originally, 'virāsat' referred strictly to the legal transfer of property and titles from a deceased person to their heirs according to Islamic law.
Indo-Aryan (for 'dena') and Afro-Asiatic/Semitic (for 'virasat').بافت فرهنگی
Be careful when discussing inheritance in a family setting, as it can be a sensitive topic regarding property disputes.
While English speakers use 'bequeath' mostly in legal wills, 'virāsat denā' is used much more broadly in daily life for values and traditions.

Summary
The verb 'विरासत देना' (virāsat denā) is essential for discussing lineage and continuity. It goes beyond simple giving to describe the transfer of items or values that define a family or society across generations. Example: 'उन्होंने अपनी संस्कृति विरासत में दी' (They passed on their culture as a legacy).
- Used for passing on inheritance or legacy.
- Refers to both physical wealth and intangible values.
- Often used with the postposition 'meṃ' (in).
- A formal and respectful way to talk about giving.
The 'Ne' Rule
Always use 'ne' with the subject in the past tense. Example: 'Usne (He) virāsat dī'.
Use with 'Meṃ'
Adding 'meṃ' (in) makes the phrase 'virāsat meṃ denā' sound more like a native speaker's choice.
Respect the Weight
Use this word when you want to show that the gift is not just an item, but a part of history.
Dental 'D'
Make sure your tongue touches your upper teeth when saying the 'd' in 'denā'.
