घिसना 30秒で
- Ghisna means to rub or grate, essentially applying friction between two surfaces for cleaning or preparation.
- It is the standard word for grating vegetables like carrots or ginger in Indian cooking.
- It also describes the natural wearing out of items like shoes, tires, or pencil tips over time.
- Metaphorically, it refers to the 'grind' of hard work or the struggle to achieve a goal.
The Hindi verb घिसना (Ghisna) is a versatile term primarily associated with the physical action of friction. At its core, it describes the act of rubbing one surface against another. This can be intentional, such as when you are preparing food or cleaning, or unintentional, such as when a part of a machine wears down over time due to constant use. Understanding 'Ghisna' requires looking at it through three main lenses: culinary preparation, physical maintenance, and the natural process of wear and tear.
- Culinary Context
- In the Indian kitchen, 'Ghisna' is the standard verb for grating. Whether you are grating carrots for 'Gajar ka Halwa' or grating ginger for tea, you are 'ghising' the ingredient. It implies a repetitive downward motion against a sharp or rough surface (the grater).
- Physical Interaction
- This refers to rubbing something to clean it or to generate heat. For instance, in winters, people 'ghis' their palms together to stay warm. It also applies to scrubbing a floor or a stain out of a cloth.
- Erosion and Wear
- This is the intransitive or passive sense where things become 'ghisa hua' (worn out). Your shoe soles might 'ghis' after months of walking, or a pencil 'ghises' as you write. It represents the gradual loss of material due to friction.
माँ रसोई में गाजर घिस रही हैं। (Mother is grating carrots in the kitchen.)
People use this word daily. If you go to a cobbler, you might say your shoes have 'ghis' gone (worn out). If you are helping with chores, you might be told to 'ghis' the copper vessels to make them shine. It is a word that moves from the mundane task of cooking to the scientific concept of friction effortlessly. In a metaphorical sense, it also touches upon hard work—'ghisna' yourself to achieve a goal suggests a level of intense, repetitive effort that polishes your skills but might also exhaust you.
ठंड की वजह से वह अपने हाथ घिस रहा था। (He was rubbing his hands because of the cold.)
- Metaphorical Hard Work
- Often used in academic or professional settings to describe 'grinding'. A student might say they have been 'ghising' for the exams for months.
Using घिसना correctly depends on whether you are talking about an action you are performing (transitive) or something happening to an object (intransitive). In Hindi, 'Ghisna' can serve both roles, though 'Ghisna' is primarily transitive and 'Ghisna' or 'Ghis jaana' is used for the intransitive sense of getting worn out.
1. Direct Action (Transitive)
When you are the one doing the rubbing or grating, the sentence structure follows: [Subject] [Object] [Ghisna].
मैंने पुरानी मेज़ को सैंडपेपर से घिसा। (I rubbed/sanded the old table with sandpaper.)
In this example, the action is deliberate. You are applying force to change the state of the object.
2. Passive Wear and Tear (Intransitive)
When something wears out due to time or use, we often add 'jaana' (to go) to indicate the completion of the process: 'Ghis jaana'.
चलते-चलते मेरे चप्पल घिस गए हैं। (My slippers have worn out from walking.)
3. Command and Requests
In the kitchen or while cleaning, you will use the imperative forms: 'Ghiso' (informal/neutral) or 'Ghisye' (formal).
- Instruction
- 'Thoda adrak ghis do.' (Grate some ginger.)
- Warning
- 'Zameen mat ghiso, nishaan pad jayenge.' (Don't rub the floor, marks will appear.)
The word is also used in the context of 'erasing' if you rub too hard with an eraser. 'Itna mat ghiso ki kagaz phat jaye' (Don't rub so much that the paper tears).
You will encounter घिसना in various social and functional settings in India. It is not just a vocabulary word; it's a reflection of daily life activities.
In the Household
This is the most common place. You'll hear it during meal prep. If a recipe requires 'kaddukas kiya hua paneer' (grated paneer), the action involved is 'ghisna'. You'll also hear it during deep cleaning, especially before festivals like Diwali, where brass items or floors are scrubbed (ghisa) to look new.
At the Cobbler (Mochi) or Mechanic
When you take a bicycle or a car for repair, the mechanic might say, 'Iska brake pad ghis gaya hai' (Its brake pad has worn out). Similarly, a mochi will point to the 'ghisa hua' heel of your shoe as a reason for repair. In these technical but everyday contexts, it signifies the loss of functionality due to friction.
In Education and Work (Slang/Metaphor)
Among students and young professionals, 'ghisna' is often used to describe the 'grind'. If someone is working 14 hours a day to pass a competitive exam like the IIT-JEE or UPSC, they might say, 'Main din-raat ghis raha hoon' (I am grinding day and night). It conveys a sense of struggle and repetitive, hard effort.
सरकारी दफ्तरों के चक्कर काटते-काटते मेरी चप्पलें घिस गईं। (My slippers wore out running around government offices.)
This specific sentence is a common cultural trope in India, symbolizing the frustration and long effort required to get bureaucratic work done.
For English speakers, the primary challenge with घिसना is distinguishing it from other verbs that involve physical contact or reduction.
- Ghisna vs. Ragadna
- 'Ragadna' also means to rub. However, 'Ragadna' is usually more forceful and often implies a back-and-forth motion for cleaning or massaging. 'Ghisna' is the specific word for grating food. You wouldn't 'ragad' a carrot; you 'ghis' it.
- Ghisna vs. Kaatna
- In English, you might 'cut' cheese with a grater. In Hindi, 'Kaatna' is only for knives/scissors. Using 'Kaatna' for a grater is a common beginner mistake. Always use 'Ghisna'.
- Transitive vs. Intransitive Confusion
- Saying 'Main ghis gaya' means 'I wore out' (metaphorically). If you mean 'I rubbed it', you must say 'Maine ise ghisa'. The 'ne' particle is crucial for the past tense of the active action.
Another subtle mistake is with the word 'Peesna' (to grind). 'Peesna' results in a powder or paste (like grinding spices in a mortar and pestle). 'Ghisna' results in shreds or shavings (like grated cheese). If you want shredded coconut, you 'ghis' it. If you want coconut powder, you 'pees' it.
To expand your Hindi vocabulary, it's helpful to compare घिसना with its synonyms and related actions. Each has a specific nuance.
- रगड़ना (Ragadna)
- Focuses on the force of rubbing. Used for scrubbing floors or rubbing eyes.
Example: अपनी आँखें मत रगड़ो। (Don't rub your eyes.) - पीसना (Peesna)
- To grind into a fine powder or paste.
Example: मसाला पीस लो। (Grind the spices.) - खुरचना (Khurachna)
- To scrape. Used when you use a sharp edge to remove something from a surface.
Example: पेंट खुरच दो। (Scrape off the paint.) - कद्दूकस करना (Kaddukas Karna)
- A more formal/compound verb specifically for 'to grate'. It comes from 'Kaddu' (pumpkin) + 'kas' (to tighten/grate). While 'Ghisna' is the action, 'Kaddukas karna' is the specific culinary task.
In technical settings, you might hear घर्षण (Gharshan), which is the formal noun for 'friction'. While you wouldn't use 'Gharshan' in a kitchen, a science textbook would use it to explain why things 'ghis' (wear out).
How Formal Is It?
豆知識
The word 'Gharshan' (friction) used in modern Hindi science textbooks comes from the same Sanskrit root as 'Ghisna'.
発音ガイド

ヒント
Watch the 'Ne'
In the past tense, if you did the grating, use 'Maine ghisa'. If the thing just wore out, use 'Woh ghis gaya'.
Kitchen Tip
If a recipe says 'Grated', always think 'Ghisa hua'. It's the most common culinary use.
The Grind
When someone says they are 'ghising', they are talking about their hard work. It's a sign of dedication.
Aspirate the Gh
Ensure there is a puff of air when you say 'Gh'. It distinguishes it from 'G' words.
Mechanical Use
Use it to describe any parts of a machine that are touching and wearing down.
Idiomatic Power
Using 'Eriyaan ghisna' in a conversation about a struggle will make you sound like a native speaker.
Pencils and Erasers
Both the act of writing (wearing down lead) and erasing (rubbing the paper) involve 'ghisna'.
Scrubbing
If a stain is tough, you have to 'ghis-ghis kar' clean it. The repetition is key.
Friction
Connect it to 'Gharshan' to remember it's about the physical force of friction.
Clichés
If a movie plot is predictable, call it 'ghisa-pita'. It's a very common critique.

Derived from the Sanskrit root 'घृष्' (ghṛṣ), which means to rub, polish, or grind.
元の意味： The original Sanskrit meaning was primarily about friction and the preparation of materials by grinding.
Indo-Aryan family.文化的な背景
No specific sensitivities, but be aware that 'ghisa-pita' can be dismissive when referring to someone's ideas.
English speakers might use 'grind' for work and 'grate' for food; Hindi uses 'Ghisna' for both, showing a more unified conceptualization of friction.

よくある質問
10 問Yes, 'Ghisna' is the perfect word for grating cheese. You can say 'Cheese ghis do' or 'Paneer ghis do'.
Ghisna is more about grating or wearing down. Ragadna is more about forceful scrubbing or rubbing your eyes/skin. You 'ghis' a carrot but 'ragad' a dirty floor.
You should say 'Mere jute ghis gaye hain'. 'Ghis gaye' indicates they have worn down over time.
It is neutral. In very formal cooking contexts, you might hear 'Kaddukas karna', but 'Ghisna' is used by everyone daily.
Not directly, but the action of erasing is 'ghisna'. To say 'erase the mark', you can say 'Nishaan ko rubber se ghiso'.
It's an adjective meaning cliché, overused, or boring. For example, a 'ghisa-pita' joke is one everyone has heard before.
Yes, 'Tyre ghis gaye hain' is the standard way to say car tires have lost their tread.
It's used for hard work. 'Main exam ke liye ghis raha hoon' means 'I am grinding/studying hard for the exam'.
Yes, 'Ghisai' (the act of rubbing/polishing) and 'Ghisawat' (wear and tear).
No, for teeth we use 'Brush karna' or 'Manjan karna'. Using 'Ghisna' would sound like you are trying to grind your teeth down!

Summary
Ghisna is a versatile verb covering everything from grating cheese to wearing out shoes. Remember: use it for friction-based actions. Example: 'Gajar ghiso' (Grate the carrot) vs. 'Jute ghis gaye' (Shoes wore out).
- Ghisna means to rub or grate, essentially applying friction between two surfaces for cleaning or preparation.
- It is the standard word for grating vegetables like carrots or ginger in Indian cooking.
- It also describes the natural wearing out of items like shoes, tires, or pencil tips over time.
- Metaphorically, it refers to the 'grind' of hard work or the struggle to achieve a goal.
Watch the 'Ne'
In the past tense, if you did the grating, use 'Maine ghisa'. If the thing just wore out, use 'Woh ghis gaya'.
Kitchen Tip
If a recipe says 'Grated', always think 'Ghisa hua'. It's the most common culinary use.
The Grind
When someone says they are 'ghising', they are talking about their hard work. It's a sign of dedication.
Aspirate the Gh
Ensure there is a puff of air when you say 'Gh'. It distinguishes it from 'G' words.
