पंद्रह en 30 secondes
- पंद्रह (Pandrah) means fifteen (15).
- It is a common number used for time, money, and dates.
- August 15th is India's Independence Day (पंद्रह अगस्त).
- It comes after chaudah (14) and before solah (16).
The Hindi word पंद्रह (Pandrah) is the cardinal number representing the quantity fifteen. In the Devanagari script, it is written as १५. It occupies a crucial spot in the Hindi numerical system, following चौदह (Chaudah - 14) and preceding सोलह (Solah - 16). For English speakers, learning this word is an essential milestone in basic numeracy, as it appears frequently in daily transactions, time-telling, and historical contexts.
- Grammatical Category
- Numeral (Cardinal). It functions as an adjective when quantifying nouns and remains invariant regardless of the gender of the noun it modifies.
One of the most significant associations with this number in India is 15th August, the Independence Day of India. When people say "पंद्रह अगस्त" (Pandrah August), they are referring to the national holiday. Beyond dates, you will use this word constantly when dealing with currency. If something costs fifteen rupees, you say "पंद्रह रुपये" (Pandrah Rupaye). Unlike some higher numbers in Hindi which can be complex to memorize due to irregular patterns, Pandrah is relatively straightforward but requires attention to the nasal 'n' sound represented by the dot (anusvara) or the half 'n' sound.
मेरे पास पंद्रह किताबें हैं। (Mere paas pandrah kitabein hain.) — I have fifteen books.
In the context of time, while English speakers often say "quarter past" or "quarter to," Hindi speakers might use "पंद्रह मिनट" (pandrah minute) to be precise. For example, "सात बजकर पंद्रह मिनट" (Saat bajkar pandrah minute) means 7:15. Understanding this word helps bridge the gap between basic counting and intermediate conversational fluency.
इस कक्षा में पंद्रह छात्र हैं। (Is kaksha mein pandrah chhatra hain.) — There are fifteen students in this class.
- Common Usage
- Used in age (पंद्रह साल), quantity (पंद्रह किलो), and sequence (पंद्रहवां - 15th).
वह पंद्रह साल का है। (Vah pandrah saal ka hai.) — He is fifteen years old.
Using पंद्रह (Pandrah) in sentences requires understanding its role as a quantifier. In Hindi, numerals usually precede the noun they modify. Interestingly, the noun following 'Pandrah' should be in its plural form if it is a countable noun. For example, 'apple' (seb) remains 'seb' in plural sometimes, but 'boy' (ladka) becomes 'ladke'. So, "पंद्रह लड़के" (Pandrah ladke) means fifteen boys.
- Sentence Structure
- [Numeral] + [Plural Noun] + [Verb]. Example: पंद्रह लोग आए (Pandrah log aaye) - Fifteen people came.
When dealing with the oblique case (when a postposition like 'ko', 'mein', 'se' follows the noun), the numeral 'Pandrah' itself does not change, but the noun and its modifiers might. For instance, "In fifteen days" translates to "पंद्रह दिनों में" (Pandrah dinon mein). Notice how 'din' becomes 'dinon' because of the postposition 'mein'.
ट्रेन पंद्रह मिनट देरी से है। (Train pandrah minute deri se hai.) — The train is fifteen minutes late.
In mathematical contexts, 'Pandrah' is used simply. "दस और पाँच पंद्रह होते हैं" (Das aur paanch pandrah hote hain) translates to "Ten and five are fifteen." If you are shopping in a local market (subzi mandi), you might ask for "पंद्रह रुपये किलो" (Pandrah rupaye kilo), meaning fifteen rupees per kilogram. This is a very common way to hear the number used in real-world Hindi environments.
मुझे पंद्रह तारीख को जाना है। (Mujhe pandrah tareekh ko jaana hai.) — I have to go on the 15th date.
- Negative Usage
- वहाँ पंद्रह लोग नहीं थे। (Wahan pandrah log nahi the.) - There weren't fifteen people there.
यह शर्ट पंद्रह सौ रुपये की है। (Yeh shirt pandrah sau rupaye ki hai.) — This shirt is for fifteen hundred rupees.
The word पंद्रह (Pandrah) is ubiquitous in Hindi-speaking regions. You will hear it most prominently in the following three scenarios: commerce, time management, and national celebrations. In a bustling market in Delhi or Mumbai, price tags and verbal quotes frequently involve this number. "पंद्रह रुपये का एक" (Pandrah rupaye ka ek) — fifteen rupees for one — is a common refrain among street vendors.
- Public Announcements
- At railway stations: "गाड़ी संख्या पंद्रह..." (Gaadi sankhya pandrah...) - Train number fifteen... or "पंद्रह मिनट में आएगी" (Will arrive in fifteen minutes).
Culturally, the most significant use of 'Pandrah' is during the month of August. Every year, news broadcasts, school functions, and political speeches revolve around "पंद्रह अगस्त" (Pandrah August). It is not just a number; it is a symbol of sovereignty. You will hear it in patriotic songs and slogans. Another interesting place to hear this word is in the context of the Hindu lunar calendar. A 'Paksha' (fortnight) consists of pandrah din (fifteen days). Religious discourses often mention these fifteen-day periods.
आज पंद्रह तारीख है। (Aaj pandrah tareekh hai.) — Today is the 15th.
In sports, particularly cricket which is a religion in India, scores often hit the fifteen-run mark or bowlers might have a limit of fifteen overs in certain local formats. Commentators will frequently shout out "पंद्रह रन!" (Pandrah run!). In schools, teachers often say, "पंद्रह पन्ने लिखो" (Write fifteen pages) or "पंद्रह मिनट का ब्रेक" (A fifteen-minute break). It's a standard unit for short durations and manageable quantities.
बस नंबर पंद्रह यहाँ रुकती है। (Bus number pandrah yahan rukti hai.) — Bus number fifteen stops here.
- In Cinema
- Bollywood movies often use 'Pandrah din' (15 days) as a common ultimatum or deadline in dramatic dialogues.
For English speakers learning Hindi, पंद्रह (Pandrah) presents a few phonetic and conceptual hurdles. The most common mistake is confusing it with other similar-sounding numbers. Beginners often mix up Pandrah (15) with Pachas (50) or Pachees (25) because they all start with the 'Pa' sound. This can lead to significant errors in financial transactions.
- Phonetic Confusion
- Confusing 'Pandrah' (15) with 'Pachas' (50). Remember: 'Pandrah' has a 'd' sound, 'Pachas' has a 'ch' sound.
Another common error is the pronunciation of the 'r'. In Hindi, the 'r' in 'Pandrah' is a tapped or flapped sound, not the rhotic 'r' found in American English. If you pronounce it like the English word "pander-ah," it will sound unnatural. Furthermore, the nasal dot (anusvara) is often ignored by learners. It's not "Pad-rah"; it's "Pan-drah." The 'n' sound is subtle but necessary.
गलत: मुझे पचास मिनट चाहिए। (I need 50 minutes - when you meant 15). सही: मुझे पंद्रह मिनट चाहिए।
Grammatically, learners sometimes forget to use the plural form of the noun after 'Pandrah'. While in English we say "fifteen dollars," in Hindi you must ensure you say "पंद्रह डॉलर" (Pandrah dollar - where dollar is the plural form in context). Also, when using 'Pandrah' for '15th', you should use "पंद्रहवां" (Pandrahwan) for masculine nouns and "पंद्रहवीं" (Pandrahwin) for feminine nouns. Using just 'Pandrah' to mean '15th' in a sentence like "He is in the 15th grade" is a common mistake.
गलत: पंद्रह लड़का (Pandrah ladka). सही: पंद्रह लड़के (Pandrah ladke).
- Writing Mistake
- Writing 'पंदरा' instead of 'पंद्रह'. The 'ह' (ha) at the end is essential in the Devanagari script.
While पंद्रह (Pandrah) is the specific word for 15, there are several related terms and alternatives depending on the context. For instance, if you are talking about a period of fifteen days, the word पखवाड़ा (Pakhwada) or पक्ष (Paksha) is used. This is similar to the English word "fortnight," though 'Paksha' specifically refers to the lunar phases.
- Comparison: 15 vs 50
- पंद्रह (Pandrah): 15. पचास (Pachas): 50. Learners often confuse these. Remember 'Pandrah' has the 'ndr' cluster.
- Comparison: 15 vs 25
- पंद्रह (Pandrah): 15. पच्चीस (Pachees): 25. Both start with 'Pa', but 'Pachees' has a double 'ch'.
In the context of time, instead of saying "सात बजकर पंद्रह मिनट" (7:15), you can use the word सवा (Sava). So, "सवा सात" (Sava saat) means a quarter past seven. This is a very common alternative in daily conversation. Similarly, if you are referring to a quantity that is 1.25 of something, 'Sava' is used, which indirectly involves the concept of 15 minutes in an hour.
सवा एक (Sava ek) — 1:15 or One and a quarter.
For ordinal numbers (sequences), 'Pandrah' changes to पंद्रहवां (Pandrahwan). For example, "He came 15th" would be "वह पंद्रहवें स्थान पर आया" (Vah pandrahvein sthaan par aaya). Note the change from 'wan' to 'vein' due to the oblique case with 'par'. Other related numbers include डेढ़ (Dedh) which means 1.5, often confused by learners thinking it relates to 15 because of the 'd' sound, but it actually means one and a half.
पंद्रह अगस्त और छब्बीस जनवरी भारत के राष्ट्रीय त्योहार हैं। (15th Aug and 26th Jan are India's national festivals).
How Formal Is It?
Le savais-tu ?
The word 'Pandrah' follows a pattern common in Indo-European languages where 15 is a compound of 5 and 10, similar to Latin 'quindecim' or Spanish 'quince'.
Guide de prononciation
- Pronouncing it as 'Padra' (missing the nasal 'n').
- Confusing 'd' with a hard English 'd' instead of the dental Hindi 'd'.
- Pronouncing the final 'h' too loudly; it should be very subtle.
- Confusing it with 'Pachas' (50).
- Using a rhotic American 'r'.
Niveau de difficulté
Easy to read in Devanagari once you know the 'ndr' conjunct.
The conjunct 'ndr' (ंद्र) can be tricky for beginners to write.
Requires correct nasalization and tapped 'r'.
Can be confused with 25 or 50 in fast speech.

Summary
पंद्रह (Pandrah) is the Hindi word for 15. It is essential for daily life, from checking the time (पंद्रह मिनट) to celebrating national holidays (पंद्रह अगस्त). Example: 'मुझे पंद्रह रुपये चाहिए' (I need fifteen rupees).
- पंद्रह (Pandrah) means fifteen (15).
- It is a common number used for time, money, and dates.
- August 15th is India's Independence Day (पंद्रह अगस्त).
- It comes after chaudah (14) and before solah (16).
The Nasal N
Make sure to nasalize the 'an' in Pandrah. If you say 'Padrah', it sounds like a different word.
Independence Day
Whenever you hear 'Pandrah August', think of the Indian flag and celebrations. It's the most common use of the word.
Price Checks
Always double-check if a vendor said 'Pandrah' (15) or 'Pachas' (50). They sound similar in noisy markets.
Plural Nouns
Always use the plural form of the noun after Pandrah. Say 'Pandrah kitabein' (15 books), not 'Pandrah kitab'.
