Overview
- 1
Find out+ Noun/Noun Phrase: यहाँ आप सीधे उस जानकारी को रखते हैं जिसे आप ढूंढ रहे हैं। उदाहरण:I need to find out the address.(मुझे पता ढूंढना है।) हिंदी में हम कहते हैं 'पता ढूंढना' या 'पता लगाना'। यहाँ 'find out' बिल्कुल 'पता लगाना' की तरह काम कर रहा है।
- 1
Find out about+ Noun: जब आप किसी विषय के बारे में विस्तार से जानना चाहते हैं। जैसे:I want to find out about the new job.(मैं नई नौकरी के बारे में पता करना चाहता हूँ।)
- 1
Find out if/whether+ Clause: यह सबसे ज़्यादा इस्तेमाल होता है। 'If' का मतलब हिंदी में 'कि क्या' जैसा होता है। जैसे:Find out if he is coming.(पता करो कि क्या वह आ रहा है।)
- 1
Find out+ Wh-word (Who, What, Where, Why, How): यह अप्रत्यक्ष प्रश्न (indirect question) पूछने का तरीका है। जैसे:Find out where he lives.(पता करो कि वह कहाँ रहता है।) ध्यान दें, यहाँ 'where does he live' नहीं होगा, क्योंकि यह सवाल नहीं बल्कि एक जानकारी का हिस्सा है।
- General Inquiries: जैसे ऑफिस में किसी मीटिंग का समय पूछना।
Can you find out when the meeting starts? - Problem Solving: जब कोई चीज़ काम नहीं कर रही हो।
I need to find out why the printer is not working. - Secrets/Truths: किसी छिपी हुई बात का पता चलना।
She found out the secret. - Verification: किसी बात की पुष्टि करना।
Let's find out if the store is open.
- 1'Find out' के साथ 'about' का गलत प्रयोग: हिंदी भाषी अक्सर 'find out' के बाद 'about' का प्रयोग करते हैं जहाँ इसकी ज़रूरत नहीं होती। जैसे:
I will find out about the time.(गलत)। यहाँ 'about' की ज़रूरत नहीं है। कारण: हिंदी में हम 'समय के बारे में' (about the time) कहते हैं, इसलिए हमें लगता है 'about' ज़रूरी है।
- 1Articles का लोप: हिंदी में आर्टिकल (a, an, the) नहीं होते। छात्र अक्सर कहते हैं:
I will find out truth.(गलत)। सही है:I will find out the truth.कारण: हिंदी में 'सच' बोलकर काम चल जाता है, लेकिन इंग्लिश में 'the' का प्रयोग अनिवार्य है।
- 1Word Order की गलती: प्रश्नवाचक संरचना का प्रयोग करना। जैसे:
Find out where does he live.(गलत)। सही है:Find out where he lives.कारण: हिंदी में हम प्रश्न पूछते समय क्रिया को कर्ता से पहले रखते हैं, और वही आदत इंग्लिश में भी आ जाती है।
- 1क्या 'find out' को अलग कर सकते हैं? नहीं, B1 स्तर पर इसे हमेशा एक साथ रखें। 'Find the truth out' सुनने में अजीब लगता है।
- 2क्या मैं 'discover' की जगह 'find out' यूज़ कर सकता हूँ? हाँ, लेकिन 'discover' थोड़ा औपचारिक (formal) है। रोज़मर्रा की बातचीत (जैसे चाय की दुकान पर) में 'find out' ज़्यादा नेचुरल लगता है।
- 3'Find' और 'Find out' में क्या अंतर है? 'Find' का मतलब है कोई खोई हुई वस्तु पाना। 'Find out' का मतलब है कोई जानकारी या तथ्य प्राप्त करना।
- 4क्या यह भूतकाल में बदलता है? हाँ, 'find' का 'found' हो जाएगा। 'I found out yesterday'।

अक्सर पूछे जाने वाले सवाल (8)
No, we usually say `find out about it` or `find it out` (though the latter is rare). Usually, we just say `find out` followed by a clause: `I found out that it was true.`
It is neutral. You can use it in conversation and in most business writing. For very formal academic papers, you might use `discover` or `ascertain`.
Use `find out` for information you get from someone else or a source. Use `figure out` for information you get by thinking or doing math.
Usually no. You say `find out the truth`, not `find the truth out`. However, if you mean 'catch someone in a lie', it is separable: `I found him out.`
Only if you mean discovering their secrets. If you are looking for a lost person, just use `find`.
No, it can be used alone. Example: `I don't know yet, but I'll find out.`
Use `about` for a general topic (`find out about the war`) and `that` for a specific fact (`find out that the war ended`).
Yes, but it's less common. `I am finding out new things every day` is correct.
