Comment l'utiliser
When you want to express the act of weighing something, you'll use तोलना. It's a versatile verb for various weighing contexts, from buying vegetables to weighing luggage. For example, सब्जीवाला आलू तोलता है। (The vegetable seller weighs potatoes.) or मैं अपना सामान तोलता हूँ। (I weigh my luggage.)
A common mistake is confusing तोलना with verbs like 'मापना' (to measure length/volume) or 'गिनना' (to count). Remember, तोलना specifically refers to weighing. For instance, you wouldn't say पानी तोलना (to weigh water) if you mean to measure its volume; instead, you'd use पानी मापना (to measure water). Another mistake is using it incorrectly with abstract concepts; you only 'weigh' tangible items. You wouldn't say खुशी तोलना (to weigh happiness); instead, you'd use a phrase like खुशी का अनुमान लगाना (to estimate happiness).
