The Hindi word 'फुरसत' (fursat) directly translates to 'leisure time', 'free time', or 'spare time' in English. It refers to the time when you are not engaged in work, chores, or any other obligatory activities. It's the time you have for yourself, for relaxation, hobbies, or simply doing nothing. This word is commonly used in everyday conversations to talk about plans for the weekend, holidays, or any moment when one is free from responsibilities.
For example, if someone asks about your weekend plans and you don't have any work scheduled, you might say you have 'फुरसत'. It implies a period of freedom and a chance to unwind. People often express a desire for more 'फुरसत' in their busy lives, highlighting its value as a period of respite. It can range from a few minutes of quiet time to extended holidays. The feeling associated with 'फुरसत' is generally positive, implying enjoyment, relaxation, and personal freedom.
Consider a student who has finished their exams; they now have 'फुरसत' to relax and pursue their interests. Similarly, an employee looking forward to a vacation is anticipating a period of 'फुरसत'. It's a fundamental concept for work-life balance, and its presence or absence significantly impacts one's well-being. The word is versatile and can be used in various contexts, from casual chats to more formal discussions about personal time management.

क्या आपके पास आज शाम फुरसत होगी?
Using 'फुरसत' (fursat) in sentences is quite straightforward. It typically functions as a noun and can be the subject, object, or part of a prepositional phrase. The key is to place it in contexts that describe periods of inactivity, relaxation, or personal time.
Here are some common sentence structures:
- Possession of Free Time
- When you have free time: 'मेरे पास फुरसत है।' (Mere paas fursat hai.) - I have free time. This structure emphasizes that the time belongs to you.
- During Free Time
- When an activity happens during free time: 'फुरसत में मैं यह काम करता हूँ।' (Fursat mein main yeh kaam karta hoon.) - I do this work in my free time. The preposition 'में' (mein - in) is often used.
- Seeking or Having Free Time
- Expressing a desire for or the presence of free time: 'मुझे थोड़ी फुरसत चाहिए।' (Mujhe thodi fursat chahiye.) - I need some free time. Or 'आज मुझे फुरसत मिली।' (Aaj mujhe fursat mili.) - I got some free time today.
- Lack of Free Time
- When there is no free time: 'मेरे पास बिलकुल फुरसत नहीं है।' (Mere paas bilkul fursat nahi hai.) - I have absolutely no free time. Using 'बिलकुल' (bilkul - absolutely) intensifies the statement.
It's also common to use adjectives to describe the quality or quantity of free time, such as 'थोड़ी फुरसत' (thodi fursat - a little free time), 'बहुत फुरसत' (bahut fursat - a lot of free time), or 'ज़्यादा फुरसत' (zyada fursat - more free time).
काम ख़त्म करने के बाद, मुझे फुरसत मिलेगी।
When talking about what you do *during* your free time, you'll often see structures like:
- Activity during free time
- 'अपनी फुरसत में, मैं पेंटिंग करता हूँ।' (Apni fursat mein, main painting karta hoon.) - In my free time, I paint. Using 'अपनी' (apni - my/one's own) adds a personal touch.
- Future plans for free time
- 'अगले हफ़्ते मुझे काफी फुरसत होगी, मैं घूमने जाऊंगा।' (Agle hafte mujhe kaafi fursat hogi, main ghoomne jaunga.) - Next week I will have a lot of free time, I will go for a trip.
क्या तुम्हें काम से फुरसत मिलती है?
आजकल मुझे बिलकुल फुरसत नहीं है।
Remember to conjugate verbs according to the subject and tense. For example, 'फुरसत थी' (fursat thi - there was free time), 'फुरसत होगी' (fursat hogi - there will be free time), 'फुरसत मिली' (fursat mili - got free time).
You'll hear 'फुरसत' (fursat) frequently in everyday spoken Hindi, especially in informal and semi-formal settings. It's a fundamental word for discussing personal time and leisure activities.
Here are some common scenarios where 'फुरसत' is used:
- Among Friends and Family
- When planning get-togethers, outings, or simply chatting about daily life. For instance, 'चलो, इस वीकेंड थोड़ी फुरसत निकालते हैं और कहीं घूमने चलते हैं।' (Chalo, is weekend thodi fursat nikalte hain aur kahin ghoomne chalte hain.) - Come on, let's make some free time this weekend and go somewhere.
- At the Workplace (Informal Discussions)
- Colleagues might discuss how busy they are and express a longing for 'फुरसत'. 'आजकल काम बहुत है, बिलकुल फुरसत नहीं मिल रही।' (Aajkal kaam bahut hai, bilkul fursat nahi mil rahi.) - There's a lot of work these days, I'm not getting any free time at all.
- During Holidays and Vacations
- People often talk about enjoying their 'फुरसत' during holidays. 'छुट्टियों में मुझे ढेर सारी फुरसत मिलती है, मैं आराम करता हूँ।' (Chhuttiyon mein mujhe dher saari fursat milti hai, main aaram karta hoon.) - I get plenty of free time during holidays, I rest.
- Discussions about Hobbies and Interests
- When talking about pursuing personal interests: 'जब मुझे फुरसत मिलती है, मैं गिटार बजाता हूँ।' (Jab mujhe fursat milti hai, main guitar bajata hoon.) - When I get free time, I play the guitar.
- General Conversation about Well-being
- People might lament the lack of 'फुरसत' in modern life. 'आजकल की भागदौड़ भरी जिंदगी में फुरसत मिलना मुश्किल हो गया है।' (Aajkal ki bhagdaud bhari zindagi mein fursat milna mushkil ho gaya hai.) - In today's fast-paced life, it has become difficult to find free time.
रिटायरमेंट के बाद, मेरे दादाजी को बहुत फुरसत रहती है।
You might also hear it in media, such as in songs, movies, or advertisements that promote relaxation or vacation packages. For example, an advertisement for a resort might say, 'आइए, हमारी खूबसूरत वादियों में कुछ दिन फुरसत के बिताइए।' (Aaiye, hamari khoobsurat vaadiyon mein kuch din fursat ke bitaiye.) - Come, spend a few days of leisure in our beautiful valleys.

The word is very common among speakers of all ages and backgrounds, making it a safe and useful word to incorporate into your vocabulary.
While 'फुरसत' (fursat) is a relatively straightforward word, learners might make a few common mistakes, often related to its usage in different contexts or with other words.
Here are some potential pitfalls:
- Confusing with 'समय' (Samay - Time)
- 'समय' is a general term for 'time', whereas 'फुरसत' specifically refers to *free* or *leisure* time. Using 'फुरसत' when you mean any time at all would be incorrect. For example, saying 'मुझे काम के लिए फुरसत चाहिए' (Mujhe kaam ke liye fursat chahiye - I need free time for work) is contradictory. You would say 'मुझे काम के लिए समय चाहिए' (Mujhe kaam ke liye samay chahiye - I need time for work).
- Overusing 'बिलकुल' (Bilkul - Absolutely)
- While 'बिलकुल फुरसत नहीं है' (bilkul fursat nahi hai - absolutely no free time) is correct and common, learners might overuse it in situations where a milder statement is appropriate. Sometimes, simply saying 'फुरसत नहीं है' (fursat nahi hai - no free time) is sufficient.
- Incorrect Prepositional Usage
- While 'फुरसत में' (fursat mein - in free time) is very common, learners might incorrectly use other prepositions or omit them. For instance, saying 'फुरसत पर मैं खेलता हूँ' (fursat par main khelta hoon) would sound unnatural. Stick to 'फुरसत में' or phrases like 'जब मुझे फुरसत मिलती है' (jab mujhe fursat milti hai - when I get free time).
- Using it for 'Work Time' or 'Busy Time'
- This is the most fundamental mistake. 'फुरसत' is the opposite of busy time or work time. Saying 'आज मुझे बहुत फुरसत है' (Aaj mujhe bahut fursat hai) when you actually have a packed schedule would be factually incorrect and confusing.
- Grammatical Agreement (Less Common for Nouns)
- While 'फुरसत' is a noun and doesn't change form for gender or number, the verbs associated with it must agree. For example, 'मुझे फुरसत मिली' (Mujhe fursat mili - I got free time) is correct, but learners might incorrectly use the masculine form if the speaker is female, or vice versa, depending on the verb conjugation that follows. However, for 'फुरसत' itself, this is less of an issue.
गलत: आज मुझे बहुत फुरसत है, इसलिए मैं सो नहीं सकता।
A correct version would be: 'आज मुझे बहुत काम है, इसलिए मैं सो नहीं सकता।' (Aaj mujhe bahut kaam hai, isliye main so nahi sakta.) - Today I have a lot of work, so I cannot sleep. Or, if the intention was to say they *don't* have free time: 'आज मुझे बिलकुल फुरसत नहीं है, इसलिए मैं सो नहीं सकता।' (Aaj mujhe bilkul fursat nahi hai, isliye main so nahi sakta.) - Today I have absolutely no free time, so I cannot sleep.
गलत: मुझे अपनी फुरसत में मीटिंग करनी है।
A correct version would be: 'मुझे अपनी फुरसत में किताबें पढ़नी हैं।' (Mujhe apni fursat mein kitabein padhni hain.) - In my free time, I want to read books. Or, if the meeting is unavoidable and takes away free time: 'मुझे मीटिंग के कारण फुरसत नहीं मिलेगी।' (Mujhe meeting ke karan fursat nahi milegi.) - Due to the meeting, I will not get free time.
While 'फुरसत' (fursat) is the most common and direct word for leisure time, several other words and phrases can be used depending on the nuance and context. Understanding these alternatives will enrich your vocabulary and allow for more precise expression.
- समय (Samay)
- Meaning: Time (general)
- Usage: This is the most general term for time. You use it when referring to any duration, the clock, or a specific point in time, not necessarily free time. You can say 'मेरे पास समय है' (Mere paas samay hai - I have time), which could mean you are available but not necessarily free from obligations. 'फुरसत' implies a specific kind of time: free time.
- अवकाश (Avkash)
- Meaning: Leave, holiday, vacation, leisure
- Usage: 'अवकाश' is more formal than 'फुरसत' and often refers to officially granted leave, like a holiday from work or school. It can also mean leisure or vacation. For example, 'गर्मी की छुट्टियां' (garmi ki chhuttiyan - summer holidays) are a form of 'अवकाश'. 'मुझे कल अवकाश है' (Mujhe kal avkash hai) means 'I have leave tomorrow'. While it can imply free time, it's more about a period of absence from duty.
- राहत (Rahat)
- Meaning: Relief, comfort, rest
- Usage: 'राहत' is about the feeling of relief or comfort, often after a period of stress or hard work. While free time can bring 'राहत', 'राहत' itself is not the time, but the state of being relieved. You might say, 'यह काम खत्म करके मुझे बहुत राहत मिली।' (Yeh kaam khatm karke mujhe bahut rahat mili.) - I got a lot of relief after finishing this work. This relief might be enjoyed during 'फुरसत'.
- आराम (Aaram)
- Meaning: Rest, relaxation
- Usage: 'आराम' is about the act of resting or relaxing. It's often what people do *during* their 'फुरसत'. You can have 'आराम' in your free time. 'मैं अपनी फुरसत में आराम करूँगा।' (Main apni fursat mein aaram karunga.) - I will rest in my free time. 'आराम' is the activity, 'फुरसत' is the time for it.
- फुर्सत (Fursat - slight variation in spelling/pronunciation)
- Meaning: Leisure, free time
- Usage: This is essentially the same word as 'फुरसत', sometimes spelled or pronounced slightly differently. It carries the exact same meaning and usage.
- खाली समय (Khali Samay)
- Meaning: Empty time, free time
- Usage: This is a literal translation and a very common alternative to 'फुरसत'. 'खाली' means empty, and 'समय' means time. So, 'खाली समय' directly translates to 'empty time' or 'free time'. It's often used interchangeably with 'फुरसत' in casual conversation. 'मेरे पास थोड़ा खाली समय है।' (Mere paas thoda khali samay hai.) - I have a little free time.
'फुरसत' और 'खाली समय' लगभग एक ही बात हैं।
In summary:
- फुरसत / खाली समय: Specifically for leisure, personal time.
- अवकाश: More formal, often for official leave or vacation.
- समय: General term for time.
- आराम: The activity of resting/relaxing.
- राहत: The feeling of relief.
छुट्टी का मतलब 'अवकाश' है, लेकिन छुट्टी के दौरान जो समय मिलता है वह 'फुरसत' है।
How Formal Is It?

मुझे काम के लिए 'समय' चाहिए। (I need 'time' for work.) vs. मुझे अपनी 'फुरसत' में आराम करना है। (I want to rest in my 'free time'.)
Both relate to periods of not working.
'अवकाश' is often a formal term for officially sanctioned leave (like a holiday or vacation). 'फुरसत' is the actual personal time one has during or outside of such leaves, for their own enjoyment or relaxation. 'अवकाश' is the reason for free time, 'फुरसत' is the time itself.
सरकारी 'अवकाश' (public 'leave') के दौरान, लोगों को 'फुरसत' मिलती है। (During public 'leave', people get 'free time'.)
Both are associated with relaxation.
'आराम' refers to the act of resting or relaxing. 'फुरसत' is the time available for such activities. You do 'आराम' *in* your 'फुरसत'.
मैं अपनी 'फुरसत' में 'आराम' करूँगा। (I will 'rest' in my 'free time'.)
This is a direct literal translation and often used synonymously.
There is very little difference in common usage. 'फुरसत' might carry a slightly more positive connotation of enjoyable leisure, while 'खाली समय' can sometimes just mean 'empty time' that needs to be filled. However, they are largely interchangeable.
मेरे पास 'खाली समय' है। (I have 'free time'.) is very similar to 'मेरे पास 'फुरसत' है।'
They represent opposite states.
'व्यस्त' means busy. 'फुरसत' is the opposite of being busy; it's the state of having no obligations and free time. You are 'व्यस्त' when you don't have 'फुरसत'.
मैं बहुत 'व्यस्त' हूँ, इसलिए मेरे पास 'फुरसत' नहीं है। (I am very 'busy', so I don't have 'free time'.)

-
Using 'फुरसत' for any type of time.
→
Using 'समय' (samay) for general time, and 'फुरसत' for free/leisure time.
'फुरसत' specifically means leisure or free time, not just any time. Saying 'मुझे काम के लिए फुरसत चाहिए' (I need free time for work) is incorrect because work is an obligation. You would say 'मुझे काम के लिए समय चाहिए' (I need time for work).
-
Confusing 'फुरसत' with 'आराम' (aaram - rest).
→
'फुरसत' is the time, 'आराम' is an activity done during that time.
You have 'फुरसत' (free time) to do 'आराम' (rest). They are not interchangeable. Saying 'मुझे आराम है' (I have rest) is different from 'मुझे फुरसत है' (I have free time). You use your free time to rest.
-
Using 'फुरसत' when referring to official leave or holidays.
→
Using 'अवकाश' (avkash) for official leave and 'फुरसत' for the personal time enjoyed during or outside of it.
'अवकाश' is more formal and refers to sanctioned leave. 'फुरसत' is the personal, often informal, time for relaxation or hobbies. For example, 'छुट्टी' (holiday) is a form of 'अवकाश', but the time you spend enjoying it is 'फुरसत'.
-
Using 'फुरसत' to describe being busy.
→
Using 'व्यस्त' (vyast - busy) or 'काम' (kaam - work) when one is occupied.
'फुरसत' is the opposite of being busy. If you have a lot of work, you don't have 'फुरसत'. Saying 'आज मुझे बहुत फुरसत है' when you have a packed schedule would be factually incorrect.
-
Incorrect prepositional usage.
→
Using 'फुरसत में' (fursat mein - in free time) or 'जब फुरसत मिले' (jab fursat mile - when free time is obtained).
While other prepositions might seem logical, 'फुरसत में' is the most common and natural way to say 'in free time'. Avoid using prepositions like 'पर' (par - on) or 'से' (se - from) directly with 'फुरसत' in this context.
ヒント
Distinguish from 'समय'
Always remember that 'फुरसत' is not just any 'समय' (time), but specifically free or leisure time. Use it when you mean time for yourself, free from obligations.
Stress on the First Syllable
Place the emphasis on the first syllable: FU-rsat. This helps differentiate it from other words and makes your pronunciation clearer.
Everyday Conversations
This word is extremely common in casual chats. Don't hesitate to use it when discussing weekend plans, holidays, or simply needing a break.
Synonym Awareness
While 'फुरसत' is great, also learn 'खाली समय' (khali samay) as it's a very common alternative. Knowing both will make your Hindi richer.
Common Structures
Familiarize yourself with patterns like 'मेरे पास फुरसत है' (I have free time) and 'फुरसत में' (in free time), as these are used very frequently.
Opposite Association
Associate 'फुरसत' with its antonyms like 'काम' (work) and 'व्यस्त' (busy). Thinking of it as the 'opposite of busy' can help solidify its meaning.
Active Recall
Try to create your own sentences using 'फुरसत' daily. Write them down or say them aloud. This active recall is crucial for retention.
Social Significance
Understand that in Indian culture, 'फुरसत' is often valued for social bonding and family time, not just individual relaxation. This context can help you use it more appropriately.
Avoid Contradictions
Never use 'फुरसत' to describe time spent on work or obligations. It's the time you are free *from* such things.
Ask Questions
Practice asking 'क्या आपके पास फुरसत है?' (Do you have free time?) or 'आज शाम फुरसत मिलेगी?' (Will you get free time this evening?) to engage in natural conversations.
暗記しよう
記憶術
Imagine a person named 'Furqan' who always looks relaxed and never seems to be in a hurry. He always has time for a chat. You can associate 'Furqan' with 'फुरसत' because he embodies the idea of having plenty of free time.
視覚的連想
Picture a clock with its hands spinning slowly, or a person lounging on a beach with a drink, clearly enjoying their 'फुरसत'. You could also visualize a calendar with many days marked as 'free' or 'holiday'.

語源
The word 'फुरसत' (fursat) originates from the Arabic word 'furṣah' (فرصة), which means 'opportunity', 'chance', or 'leisure'. This word then entered Persian and subsequently Hindi.
元の意味： Opportunity, chance, leisure.
Indo-Aryan (derived from Arabic via Persian)文化的な背景
The word 'फुरसत' itself is neutral and not sensitive. However, discussions around it can sometimes touch upon socio-economic disparities, as access to quality leisure time can be influenced by one's financial situation.
In English-speaking cultures, 'leisure time' or 'free time' are the direct equivalents. The emphasis can often be on individual pursuits, hobbies, or rest, though social activities are also common. The concept of 'work-life balance' is a modern manifestation of valuing 'फुरसत'.

Yes, 'फुरसत' can refer to any duration of free time, from a few minutes to longer periods like holidays. You might say 'मुझे बस पाँच मिनट की फुरसत मिली' (Mujhe bas paanch minute ki fursat mili - I only got five minutes of free time).
'समय' (samay) is the general word for 'time', whereas 'फुरसत' specifically denotes 'free time' or 'leisure time'. You can have 'समय' to do something, but 'फुरसत' implies you have the liberty to choose what to do with that time.

While 'फुरसत' itself is positive, it can be used in contexts that highlight its absence or the negative consequences of too much of it.
