Explication ब्रीफ़केस in your Level:
At the A1 level, you should recognize 'ब्रीफ़केस' (brīfkes) as the word for a professional bag. It is a masculine noun. You will mostly use it in very simple sentences to identify the object or state who it belongs to. For example, 'यह मेरा ब्रीफ़केस है' (This is my briefcase). At this stage, you don't need to worry about complex grammar, just remember that it is an English loanword, which makes it easy to remember. Focus on the basic 'Subject + Object + Verb' structure. You might see it in pictures of people going to an office. The main goal is to associate the sound 'brīfkes' with the image of a rectangular hand-held bag. You should also learn that it is masculine, so you use 'मेरा' (my) or 'बड़ा' (big) with it. In A1, we keep things simple: 'The briefcase is here' (ब्रीफ़केस यहाँ है) or 'That is a briefcase' (वह ब्रीफ़केस है). You don't need to worry about plural forms or complex postpositions yet. Just think of it as a basic vocabulary item for the 'Office' or 'Work' category. It's a very helpful word because it sounds almost exactly like the English word, giving you an easy win in your Hindi vocabulary building. Practice saying it out loud to get used to the Hindi 'r' and 's' sounds, which are slightly different from English but very similar in this specific word.

At the A2 level, you begin to use 'ब्रीफ़केस' in more descriptive ways and in simple past or future tenses. You can now add colors and sizes to the word: 'मेरे पास एक काला ब्रीफ़केस है' (I have a black briefcase). You should also be able to use simple postpositions like 'में' (in). For example, 'ब्रीफ़केस में क्या है?' (What is in the briefcase?). This level requires you to ensure that your adjectives agree with the masculine gender of the word. If the briefcase is small, it's 'छोटा ब्रीफ़केस' (chhoṭā brīfkes). You might also start using it with verbs like 'खरीदना' (to buy) or 'लेना' (to take). 'कल मैंने एक नया ब्रीफ़केस खरीदा' (Yesterday I bought a new briefcase). You are beginning to talk about daily routines, so you might say, 'मैं रोज़ अपना ब्रीफ़केस लेकर दफ़्तर जाता हूँ' (I go to the office every day taking my briefcase). This shows you can handle the 'object + postposition + verb' structure. You should also be aware that in Hindi, the word doesn't change much in the plural direct case: 'दो ब्रीफ़केस' (two briefcases). Practice making short sentences about your work day or your father's work day using this word. It's a great way to practice masculine noun-adjective agreement, which is a core skill at the A2 level.

At the B1 level, you are becoming more comfortable with 'ब्रीफ़केस' in a variety of situational contexts. You can use it to describe more complex actions and events. For instance, you can talk about losing or finding things: 'अगर मेरा ब्रीफ़केस खो गया, तो मैं क्या करूँगा?' (If my briefcase gets lost, what will I do?). You are now expected to use the oblique case correctly when postpositions are involved, though for 'ब्रीफ़केस', the singular stays the same. However, you should be able to handle sentences like 'उसने ब्रीफ़केस के अंदर कागज़ रखे' (He kept papers inside the briefcase). You can also use it in the context of giving directions or describing a scene: 'वह आदमी जो हाथ में ब्रीफ़केस लिए खड़ा है, मेरा भाई है' (That man who is standing with a briefcase in his hand is my brother). At B1, you should also understand the cultural nuance that a 'ब्रीफ़केस' is more formal than a 'बैग'. You might use it in a role-play about an office setting or a job interview. You can also start using more descriptive adjectives like 'भारी' (heavy), 'हल्का' (light), or 'चमड़े का' (made of leather). 'यह चमड़े का ब्रीफ़केस बहुत महँगा है' (This leather briefcase is very expensive). This level is about building confidence in using the word in natural, everyday professional conversations.
At the B2 level, you can use 'ब्रीफ़केस' in abstract and idiomatic ways, and your grammar should be quite precise. You might discuss the symbolism of the briefcase in Indian society—how it represents the 'babu' (clerk) culture or the professional middle class. You can handle complex sentences with multiple clauses: 'हालाँकि मेरा ब्रीफ़केस पुराना हो गया है, फिर भी मैं इसे नहीं फेंकना चाहता क्योंकि यह मेरे पिता का था' (Although my briefcase has become old, still I don't want to throw it away because it belonged to my father). You should be comfortable using the plural oblique form 'ब्रीफ़केसों' in sentences like 'सभी ब्रीफ़केसों की जाँच की गई' (All the briefcases were checked). You can also use the word in more formal writing, perhaps in a report or a story. You might use it as a subject in passive constructions: 'ब्रीफ़केस को मेज पर रख दिया गया' (The briefcase was placed on the table). At this level, you also understand the subtle difference between 'ब्रीफ़केस' and its synonyms and can choose the right one for the register you are speaking in. You might use it in a discussion about workplace trends, comparing the traditional briefcase with modern laptop bags. Your pronunciation should be clear, and you should be able to use the word fluently without pausing to think about its gender or agreement rules.

At the C1 level, you have a sophisticated command of 'ब्रीफ़केस' and can use it in literary or highly formal contexts. You might encounter it in Hindi literature where it is used to characterize a protagonist's rigid or professional nature. You can discuss the etymology of English loanwords in Hindi and how 'ब्रीफ़केस' has been assimilated. You can use it in complex hypothetical scenarios: 'यदि उस ब्रीफ़केस में वे दस्तावेज़ न होते, तो आज स्थिति कुछ और ही होती' (If those documents hadn't been in that briefcase, the situation today would have been quite different). You are also aware of the word's presence in legal and political jargon. For example, you might follow a news story about a 'briefcase bomb' or a 'briefcase of evidence' and understand the weight the word carries in those contexts. Your usage of the word is indistinguishable from a native speaker's, including the correct use of subtle postpositions and emphasis. You can also use the word in satirical or metaphorical ways, perhaps referring to someone's 'briefcase of knowledge' or using it to describe someone who is overly formal. You understand the historical shift from the 'Budget Briefcase' to the 'Bahi-Khata' and can discuss this transition fluently in Hindi, using 'ब्रीफ़केस' as a point of comparison for traditional vs. modern values.

At the C2 level, you possess a near-native or native-level mastery of 'ब्रीफ़केस'. You can use it in any context, from high-level academic discussions about linguistic borrowing to creative writing that uses the object as a central motif. You understand all the shades of meaning and the cultural baggage the word carries in India—from the 1980s symbol of success to the modern-day vintage accessory. You can use it in wordplay, puns, or complex metaphors. Your grammar is flawless, even in the most intricate sentence structures. For example, 'ब्रीफ़केस की उस पुरानी, चरमराती कुंडी ने न जाने कितने राज़ अपने भीतर समेट रखे थे' (That old, creaking latch of the briefcase had tucked away who knows how many secrets within itself). You can analyze how the word's usage has changed over decades in Indian cinema and literature. You can also switch between registers perfectly, using 'ब्रीफ़केस' in a formal speech and perhaps a more casual English-influenced 'bag' in a very informal setting, knowing exactly why you chose one over the other. At this level, the word is just one tool in a vast, expertly managed vocabulary, used with precision, cultural awareness, and stylistic flair. You could even write an essay or give a presentation on the evolution of professional accessories in India, with 'ब्रीफ़केस' as a primary example.

ब्रीफ़केस en 30 secondes

  • A briefcase is a professional bag for documents.
  • The Hindi word is 'ब्रीफ़केस', a masculine loanword.
  • It is commonly used in offices and legal settings.
  • Remember to use masculine adjectives like 'मेरा' or 'नया'.

The word ब्रीफ़केस (brīfkes) is a direct loanword from English, integrated seamlessly into the Hindi language. In the Indian context, it specifically refers to a flat, rectangular case, typically made of leather, plastic, or hard synthetic materials, used for carrying documents, files, and personal stationery. While traditional Indian bags like the jhola (a cloth shoulder bag) or basta (a satchel) have their place, the briefcase represents a specific professional and social stratum. It is the quintessential accessory of the 'office-goer,' the lawyer, the government official, and the businessman. In the mid-to-late 20th century, carrying a hard-shelled briefcase was seen as a symbol of education and professional status in India. Even as modern backpacks and laptop bags have become more common, the term remains the standard for any professional-looking document carrier. Understanding this word is crucial because it bridges the gap between everyday conversational Hindi and the formal vocabulary of the Indian professional world.

Professional Context
In a formal setting, such as a court of law or a high-level corporate meeting, 'ब्रीफ़केस' is the preferred term. It implies a sense of organization and seriousness that generic words for 'bag' do not convey.

वकील साहब अपना ब्रीफ़केस मेज पर रखना भूल गए। (The lawyer forgot to keep his briefcase on the table.)

The usage of this word extends beyond just the physical object; it often symbolizes the 'work' itself. When someone says they are 'carrying their briefcase,' it often implies they are heading to a serious engagement. In Hindi cinema (Bollywood), the 'briefcase full of cash' is a recurring trope, further embedding the word into the cultural consciousness as a container of value and secrets. Physically, a briefcase in India is often associated with brands like VIP or Aristocrat, which dominated the market for decades. These hard-sided cases are known for their durability, often lasting for decades and being passed down or kept as nostalgic items. When using this word, keep in mind its masculine gender, which affects the adjectives and verbs associated with it. For example, 'मेरा ब्रीफ़केस' (my briefcase) uses the masculine 'मेरा' rather than the feminine 'मेरी'.

Materiality and Durability
The word evokes the texture of leather or the sound of a metallic latch clicking shut. In Hindi literature, description of a character's briefcase often serves as a shorthand for their meticulous nature or their adherence to bureaucratic norms.

यह चमड़े का ब्रीफ़केस बहुत पुराना और कीमती है। (This leather briefcase is very old and valuable.)

Furthermore, the word is used across all registers of Hindi. Whether you are in a rural government office (Tehsil) or a high-rise in Mumbai, 'ब्रीफ़केस' will be understood. It is one of those 'Hinglish' words that has completely displaced any indigenous equivalent for that specific item. While you might use 'बस्ता' for a schoolbag or 'थैला' for a grocery bag, using those for a professional briefcase would be considered incorrect or even slightly humorous. The specificity of the word helps in clear communication, especially in legal, administrative, and commercial environments where the distinction between types of luggage is important for clarity and professionalism.

Symbolism of Order
A briefcase isn't just a bag; it's a portable office. In Hindi discourse, mentioning someone's briefcase often implies they are prepared, professional, and perhaps a bit traditional in their approach to work.

क्या आपने मेरा काला ब्रीफ़केस देखा है? (Have you seen my black briefcase?)

Using ब्रीफ़केस (brīfkes) in a sentence requires an understanding of Hindi's noun-adjective agreement and postpositional rules. Since it is a masculine noun, any adjectives modifying it must take the masculine form. For instance, 'new briefcase' is 'नया ब्रीफ़केस' (nayā brīfkes), not 'नयी ब्रीफ़केस' (nayī brīfkes). Similarly, possessive pronouns like 'my' or 'your' must be masculine: 'मेरा ब्रीफ़केस' (merā brīfkes) or 'आपका ब्रीफ़केस' (āpkā brīfkes). When the noun is followed by a postposition like 'में' (in), 'से' (from), or 'को' (to/for), the noun itself doesn't change its form in the singular, but the surrounding words might. For example, 'in the briefcase' is 'ब्रीफ़केस में' (brīfkes meṃ).

मैंने अपने ब्रीफ़केस में ज़रूरी दस्तावेज़ रखे हैं। (I have kept important documents in my briefcase.)

In terms of plurality, the word usually remains 'ब्रीफ़केस' in the direct case (e.g., 'दो ब्रीफ़केस' - two briefcases). However, in the oblique case (when followed by a postposition), it can take the form 'ब्रीफ़केसों' (brīfkesoṃ). For example, 'In the briefcases' would be 'ब्रीफ़केसों में'. However, in casual conversation, many speakers simply use the English plural 'briefcases' or keep the Hindi singular form even with postpositions. Verbs also agree with the gender of the briefcase if it is the subject of the sentence. 'The briefcase is heavy' becomes 'ब्रीफ़केस भारी है' (brīfkes bhārī hai), where 'भारी' is neutral, but if you said 'The briefcase fell,' it would be 'ब्रीफ़केस गिर गया' (brīfkes gir gayā), using the masculine 'गया'.

Subject-Verb Agreement
Always ensure the verb reflects the masculine nature of the word. 'ब्रीफ़केस खुल गया' (The briefcase opened) uses the masculine 'गया' instead of the feminine 'गयी'.

यह ब्रीफ़केस बहुत भारी लग रहा है। (This briefcase feels very heavy.)

Furthermore, when describing the briefcase, use masculine adjectives. 'Large briefcase' is 'बड़ा ब्रीफ़केस' (baṛā brīfkes). If you are asking a question about its ownership, you would use 'किसका' (whose - masculine): 'यह किसका ब्रीफ़केस है?' (Whose briefcase is this?). In complex sentences, the word can function as the object of a verb. 'He is carrying a briefcase' translates to 'वह ब्रीफ़केस ले जा रहा है' (voh brīfkes le jā rahā hai). Here, the focus is on the action being performed on the object. The word is versatile and can be used with various verbs such as 'खोलना' (to open), 'बंद करना' (to close), 'खरीदना' (to buy), or 'खोना' (to lose).

Possessive Forms
Using 'का' (of) to show possession: 'ब्रीफ़केस का ताला' (The lock of the briefcase). Notice how 'ताला' (lock) is also masculine, creating a consistent gender chain.

उसने अपना पुराना ब्रीफ़केस बदल दिया। (He changed his old briefcase.)

You will encounter the word ब्रीफ़केस (brīfkes) in several distinct environments in India. The most common is the professional workspace. In government offices (Daftars), you will often see officials with their trusty, slightly worn-out briefcases containing files and lunch boxes. In the legal profession, a lawyer's briefcase is an iconic image, often seen in courts from the Supreme Court down to district levels. In these contexts, the word is used with a high degree of respect and formality. If you are traveling in a major city like Delhi or Mumbai during rush hour, you might hear commuters on the Metro or local trains asking someone to move their briefcase: 'भाई साहब, अपना ब्रीफ़केस थोड़ा हटा लीजिए' (Brother, please move your briefcase a bit).

रेलवे स्टेशन पर लावारिस ब्रीफ़केस को मत छुएं। (Do not touch an unclaimed briefcase at the railway station.)

Another major arena for this word is Indian cinema and television. For decades, the 'briefcase' has been a plot device in crime thrillers and dramas. It usually contains either a mountain of cash, a bomb, or secret documents that can bring down a government. Because of this, the word sometimes carries a slightly dramatic or mysterious connotation in pop culture. In news broadcasts, you might hear it during the Union Budget presentation. Traditionally, the Finance Minister of India would carry the budget documents in a briefcase (often called a 'Budget Box' but referred to as a briefcase in common parlance) to Parliament. This annual event makes 'ब्रीफ़केस' a headline word for at least a few days every year.

News and Media
Headlines like 'ब्रीफ़केस में मिले करोड़ों रुपये' (Millions of rupees found in a briefcase) are common in crime reporting, reinforcing its image as a container for high-value items.

फ़िल्म के अंत में विलेन ब्रीफ़केस लेकर भाग गया। (At the end of the film, the villain ran away with the briefcase.)

In everyday life, you'll hear it in shops selling luggage. A customer might ask, 'क्या आपके पास वाटरप्रूफ ब्रीफ़केस है?' (Do you have a waterproof briefcase?). It's also used in family settings when an older relative is getting ready for work or a trip. The word bridges generations; while younger people might prefer 'laptop bag' (लैपटॉप बैग), they still recognize and use 'ब्रीफ़केस' when referring to their father's or grandfather's professional bag. It's a word that signifies a specific kind of 'adulting' in the Indian mindset—one associated with steady jobs, bureaucracy, and serious responsibilities. Whether in a bustling marketplace or a quiet office corridor, the click of a briefcase latch is a sound immediately identifiable with the word itself.

Commuter Talk
In buses and trains, people often discuss the weight or convenience of their 'ब्रीफ़केस', making it a topic of small talk among office-goers.

आजकल लोग ब्रीफ़केस की जगह बैगपैक पसंद करते हैं। (Nowadays, people prefer backpacks over briefcases.)

One of the most frequent mistakes learners make with ब्रीफ़केस (brīfkes) is regarding its gender. Because it ends in a 's' sound, which doesn't inherently suggest a gender in Hindi, some learners mistakenly treat it as feminine. They might say 'मेरी ब्रीफ़केस' (my briefcase - feminine) instead of the correct 'मेरा ब्रीफ़केस' (my briefcase - masculine). Remember, most English loanwords for inanimate objects that end in consonants are masculine in Hindi (like 'pen', 'computer', 'phone'). Treating it as feminine will lead to incorrect verb agreements as well, such as saying 'ब्रीफ़केस गिर गयी' instead of 'ब्रीफ़केस गिर गया'.

Gender Agreement Error
Incorrect: यह ब्रीफ़केस अच्छी है। (This briefcase is good - fem.)
Correct: यह ब्रीफ़केस अच्छा है। (This briefcase is good - masc.)

गलती: मेरी ब्रीफ़केस खो गयी। (Mistake: My briefcase got lost - fem.)

Another common mistake is in pronunciation, specifically the 'f' sound. In standard Hindi, the 'f' sound (फ़) is represented with a dot (nukta) under the 'ph' (फ) character. However, many native speakers pronounce it as a 'ph' (aspirated 'p') sound. While 'bree-ph-kes' is common in many dialects, for a learner, it's better to stick to the 'f' sound as in English, but be prepared to hear 'ph'. Additionally, the 'e' in 'case' should be a long 'e' (as in 'stay'), not a short 'e'. Mispronouncing it as 'brief-kess' might make it hard for locals to understand quickly.

Learners also sometimes confuse 'ब्रीफ़केस' with other types of bags. Using it to describe a backpack (बैगपैक/बस्ता), a suitcase (सूटकेस), or a small handbag (पर्स) is technically incorrect. A briefcase is specifically for documents and is usually hard-sided. Using the word too broadly can lead to confusion. For example, if you tell a hotel porter to bring your 'briefcase' but you actually mean your large 'suitcase', they will be looking for the wrong item. Always use 'सूटकेस' (suitcase) for travel luggage and 'ब्रीफ़केस' for professional document bags.

Vocabulary Confusion
Don't use 'ब्रीफ़केस' for a 'सूटकेस' (suitcase). A briefcase is for files; a suitcase is for clothes.

सही: मैं अपना ब्रीफ़केस दफ़्तर ले जाता हूँ। (Correct: I take my briefcase to the office.)

Lastly, watch out for the plural oblique form. While 'ब्रीफ़केसों में' (in the briefcases) is correct, many students forget the 'oṃ' ending when a postposition is present. While you might be understood if you say 'ब्रीफ़केस में' for plural, 'ब्रीफ़केसों में' is the grammatically superior form. However, avoid over-pluralizing; in Hindi, if the number is specified (e.g., 'पाँच ब्रीफ़केस'), the noun often stays in its singular form unless it's in the oblique case.

While ब्रीफ़केस (brīfkes) is the most common term for a professional document bag, there are several other words you might encounter or use depending on the context. Understanding the nuances between these can greatly improve your Hindi fluency. The most generic word is बैग (bag), also a loanword, which can refer to almost any carrier. However, 'बैग' lacks the professional specificity of 'ब्रीफ़केस'. If you are talking about a student's bag, the word बस्ता (bastā) is more appropriate. 'बस्ता' usually refers to a school satchel or a soft bag used by clerks.

ब्रीफ़केस vs. बस्ता
'ब्रीफ़केस' is for professionals and is usually hard; 'बस्ता' is for students or clerks and is usually soft.

वकील के पास ब्रीफ़केस है, लेकिन छात्र के पास बस्ता है। (The lawyer has a briefcase, but the student has a satchel.)

Another alternative is थैला (thailā), which refers to a cloth or plastic bag, often used for groceries or casual items. You would never call a leather briefcase a 'thailā' unless you were trying to be dismissive of its contents. Then there is सूटकेस (sūṭkes), which is strictly for travel and carrying clothes. Confusing the two is a common error for beginners. For a very formal or old-fashioned term, you might hear संदूकची (sandūkchī), which means a small chest or box, though this is rarely used for a modern briefcase.

ब्रीफ़केस vs. सूटकेस
A 'ब्रीफ़केस' goes to the office; a 'सूटकेस' goes to the airport.

उसने यात्रा के लिए सूटकेस और काम के लिए ब्रीफ़केस तैयार किया। (He prepared a suitcase for the trip and a briefcase for work.)

In the modern tech-heavy workplace, लैपटॉप बैग (laptop bag) is becoming more common than 'ब्रीफ़केस'. While they serve a similar purpose, a laptop bag is usually soft-padded and has a shoulder strap, whereas a traditional briefcase is handheld and rigid. If you are carrying a modern messenger bag, you might use the English term मैसेंजर बैग (messenger bag) or just 'साइड बैग' (side bag). Knowing when to use 'ब्रीफ़केस' vs. these modern alternatives shows a deep understanding of the evolving professional culture in India.

Regional Variations
In some parts of India, any rectangular bag might be called a 'peti' (box), but 'ब्रीफ़केस' remains the most prestigious and accurate term for professional use.

आजकल के युवा ब्रीफ़केस की तुलना में लैपटॉप बैग अधिक इस्तेमाल करते हैं। (Young people today use laptop bags more than briefcases.)

Erreurs courantes
  • Using feminine gender. → यह मेरा ब्रीफ़केस है।

    Many learners think because it's a bag, it might be feminine like 'मेरी फाइल' (my file). But 'ब्रीफ़केस' is masculine.

  • Confusing with सूटकेस. → मैं दफ़्तर ब्रीफ़केस ले जाता हूँ।

    A briefcase is for work; a suitcase is for travel. Confusing them can cause misunderstandings about your destination or needs.

  • Missing the nukta in writing. → ब्रीफ़केस (with dot)

    Writing 'ब्रीफकेस' without the dot under the 'फ' makes it 'bree-ph-kes'. The dot is necessary for the 'f' sound.

  • Incorrect plural oblique form. → ब्रीफ़केसों में कागज़ हैं।

    When using a postposition like 'में', the plural must change to 'ब्रीफ़केसों'. Just saying 'ब्रीफ़केस में' for plural is a common error.

  • Using it for a backpack. → मेरा बैगपैक भारी है।

    A 'ब्रीफ़केस' is specifically a hand-held, usually hard-sided bag. A backpack should be called 'बैगपैक' or 'बस्ता'.

Astuces

Gender Check

Always remember 'ब्रीफ़केस' is masculine. If you're unsure about an English loanword's gender in Hindi, masculine is usually a safe bet for objects.

The 'F' Sound

Practice the 'f' sound (फ़) by placing your top teeth on your bottom lip. Many Hindi speakers might say 'ph', but using the 'f' sound is more accurate to the spelling.

Context Matters

Use 'ब्रीफ़केस' only for professional document bags. For anything else, use 'बैग' (general), 'सूटकेस' (travel), or 'बस्ता' (school).

Social Status

In India, carrying a briefcase often signals that you are a professional like a lawyer or a high-ranking official. Use the word to add a touch of formality to your conversation.

Script Accuracy

When writing in Devanagari, ensure you use the nukta (dot) under 'फ'. It shows you have a high level of literacy and attention to detail.

Movie Tropes

Watch Bollywood crime thrillers; you'll hear 'ब्रीफ़केस' mentioned whenever there's a deal or a ransom involved. It's a great way to hear the word in high-stakes contexts.

Plural Rules

Don't pluralize the word in the direct case (e.g., 'दो ब्रीफ़केस'). Only use 'ब्रीफ़केसों' when a postposition like 'में' or 'से' follows.

Polite Requests

When asking someone to move their bag, using 'ब्रीफ़केस' specifically is more polite and precise than just saying 'सामान' (luggage).

Visual Link

Associate the word with the metallic 'click-click' sound of the latches. That sound is synonymous with the word 'ब्रीफ़केस' in many people's minds.

Office Talk

In an Indian office, if you ask 'मेरा ब्रीफ़केस कहाँ है?', everyone will know exactly what you are looking for. It's a very functional word.

Mémorise-le

Moyen mnémotechnique

Think of a 'Brief' lawyer carrying a 'Case'. In Hindi, it's the same word! Just imagine a lawyer saying 'Bring me my Brief-Case' in a Hindi office.

Association visuelle

Imagine a shiny black leather rectangle with a silver handle. Visualize it sitting on a wooden desk next to a cup of Indian chai.

Word Web

Office Lawyer Documents Leather Handle Lock Files Business

Défi

Try to describe five things you would put in your 'ब्रीफ़केस' using only Hindi nouns (e.g., कलम, कागज़, लैपटॉप).

Origine du mot

Borrowed from English 'briefcase'. The English word combines 'brief' (short legal summary) and 'case' (container).

Sens originel : A case for carrying legal briefs.

Indo-European (via Germanic/Latin roots in English).

Contexte culturel

No specific sensitivities, but avoid using it mockingly for someone's old bag.

English speakers will find this word easy as it is a direct loan, but must be careful not to use English grammar with it.

The Indian Union Budget briefcase tradition. VIP Industries advertisements from the 80s. The 'Money Briefcase' in the movie 'Hera Pheri'.

Questions fréquentes

10 questions

It is a masculine noun. This means you should use masculine adjectives and verb forms with it. For example, say 'मेरा ब्रीफ़केस' (my briefcase) and 'ब्रीफ़केस गिर गया' (the briefcase fell). Most English loanwords for objects in Hindi are masculine.

Technically, a briefcase is a hard-sided bag for documents. However, in modern Hindi, some people might use it loosely. It is better to use 'लैपटॉप बैग' for a bag specifically designed for a computer, as they look quite different.

In the oblique plural (when followed by a postposition like 'in'), you say 'ब्रीफ़केसों में' (brīfkesoṃ meṃ). If you are just saying 'two briefcases' without a postposition, it remains 'दो ब्रीफ़केस'.

There isn't a single pure Hindi word that perfectly matches the modern briefcase. Words like 'संदूकची' (small chest) exist but are not used in modern offices. 'ब्रीफ़केस' is the standard word used by everyone.

The dot is called a 'nukta'. It changes the 'ph' sound (aspirated p) to an 'f' sound. Since 'briefcase' is an English word with an 'f', the nukta is used to represent the correct pronunciation in Hindi script.

No, that would be confusing. A suitcase is 'सूटकेस' and is used for travel. A briefcase is for documents. Using the wrong word might lead to someone bringing you the wrong bag at an airport or office.

Yes, they are very similar. 'अटैची' comes from 'attaché case'. Both refer to the same type of professional bag. 'ब्रीफ़केस' is slightly more common in modern urban Hindi.

Black (काला) and brown (भूरा) are the most traditional and common colors for a briefcase in India, especially in legal and government circles.

It is pronounced like 'kes' (rhymes with the English word 'lace' or 'face'). Make sure the 'e' sound is long.

Yes, anyone can use the word. While briefcases were traditionally associated with men in the past, women professionals also carry them and use the term, though many now prefer 'हैंडबैग' or 'लैपटॉप बैग'.
