解説 खिन्नता in your Level:

At the A1 level, 'Khinnata' is a bit advanced. Think of it as a very strong 'Udaas' (Sad). If you are very, very sad because something didn't go your way, that is Khinnata. For now, you can just remember that it means 'being very sad' or 'feeling down'. You might see it in stories. It is a feminine word, so we say 'Khinnata hoti hai'. Practice saying: 'Mujhe khinnata hai' (I am sad/dejected). It's a formal way to say you are not happy about something. Just like you learn 'happy' and 'sad', this is like 'very disappointed'.

At the A2 level, you can start to distinguish between simple sadness and 'Khinnata'. Use 'Khinnata' when you are talking about a feeling that lasts a little longer. For example, if you fail a test, you don't just feel 'udaas' (sad), you feel 'khinnata' (dejection). It is a noun. In English, we say 'I feel sadness'. In Hindi, we say 'Mujhe khinnata ho rahi hai'. Notice that we use 'ho rahi hai' because Khinnata is feminine. It helps you talk about your feelings in a more serious way than just using basic words.

At the B1 level, you should use 'Khinnata' to describe a lack of enthusiasm or spirits. It's that feeling when you are discouraged. If your favorite team loses a match, the fans feel 'khinnata'. It's more than just a moment; it's a mood. You can use it in sentences like 'Uske chehre par khinnata thi' (There was dejection on his face). It's a great word for writing essays about emotions or describing characters in a story. It shows you know more than just the basic vocabulary and can express complex human moods.

At the B2 level, 'Khinnata' is an essential word for nuanced expression. It represents a state of being dispirited or dejected, often as a result of disappointment or a somber environment. You should understand its grammatical behavior—being a feminine abstract noun—and its collocation with verbs like 'vyapt hona' (to pervade) or 'prakat karna' (to express). B2 learners should use this word to describe social moods or deep personal disappointments in formal writing and debates. It distinguishes a mature speaker from a beginner by adding a layer of psychological depth to their descriptions.

At the C1 level, you should appreciate the literary and philosophical weight of 'Khinnata'. It is often used in Hindi literature to describe the 'ennui' or 'malaise' of modern life. You should be able to use it to discuss complex themes like the public's dejection with political systems or a character's internal struggle with existential gloom. At this level, you should also know its synonyms like 'vishaad' or 'glāni' and choose 'khinnatā' specifically when the context implies a 'pressed down' or 'disheartened' spirit. Your usage should be effortless and grammatically perfect in complex sentence structures.

At the C2 level, 'Khinnata' is a tool for precision. You understand its Sanskrit roots and how it differs from other shades of sorrow in classical and modern Hindi. You can use it to analyze texts, write sophisticated critiques, or engage in high-level academic discussions about psychology and sociology. You recognize the subtle difference between 'khinnatā' (the state) and being 'khinn' (the person's condition). At this level, the word is not just vocabulary; it's a way to capture the subtle textures of human suffering and disappointment with the eloquence of a native scholar.

खिन्नता 30秒で

Khinnata is a formal Hindi word for dejection or low spirits.
It is a feminine noun, requiring feminine grammatical agreements.
Commonly used in literature and news to describe serious moods.
It differs from simple sadness by implying a deeper sense of being let down.

The Hindi word खिन्नता (Khinnatā) is a sophisticated noun that describes a profound state of dejection, melancholy, or low spirits. While simple words like 'उदासी' (udāsī) cover general sadness, khinnatā implies a more complex emotional state often triggered by disappointment, a sense of failure, or a persistent feeling of gloom. It is a CEFR B2 level word because it requires an understanding of emotional nuances beyond basic 'happy' or 'sad' labels. In the vast landscape of Hindi literature and formal discourse, this word serves as a bridge between the physical sensation of being 'down' and the psychological weight of existential or situational sorrow. It is derived from the Sanskrit root 'खिद्' (khid), which literally means to strike, press down, or depress, which perfectly encapsulates the feeling of being emotionally weighed down by circumstances.

Literary Context: In Hindi prose, particularly in the works of Munshi Premchand or Jaishankar Prasad, khinnatā is often used to describe the internal state of a protagonist who has lost hope or is struggling with the unfairness of society. It isn't just a fleeting moment of sadness; it is a lingering atmosphere of the soul.
Modern Usage: Today, you might hear this in news reports describing the mood of a nation after a tragic event or a sports team's fan base after a devastating loss. It conveys a sense of collective or individual 'let-down' that is more dignified than a mere 'dukh' (sorrow).

परीक्षा में विफल होने के बाद, उसके मन में एक गहरी खिन्नता व्याप्त हो गई। (After failing the exam, a deep dejection pervaded his mind.)

— Example of situational dejection.

Understanding khinnatā involves recognizing its weight. It is a feminine noun, so it takes feminine modifiers like 'गहरी' (deep) or 'बढ़ती' (increasing). When someone feels this emotion, they aren't necessarily crying; they might be silent, withdrawn, and reflecting on their dissatisfaction. This is why the word is so powerful in psychological descriptions—it captures the quiet, heavy stillness of a broken heart or a discouraged mind.

नेताओं के झूठे वादों ने जनता में खिन्नता पैदा कर दी है। (The false promises of leaders have created dejection among the public.)

Furthermore, khinnatā is often paired with verbs like 'छा जाना' (to spread/overshadow) or 'प्रकट करना' (to express). If a room is filled with khinnatā, the atmosphere is somber. If a person expresses khinnatā, they are voicing their disappointment and lack of enthusiasm for a situation. It is the opposite of 'प्रसन्नता' (happiness/cheerfulness). By using this word, you elevate your Hindi from basic communication to nuanced emotional expression, allowing you to describe states of mind that are common in human experience but often hard to name precisely.

Psychological Nuance: Psychologically, khinnatā is closer to 'ennui' or 'malaise' than just 'sadness'. It involves a lack of interest in the surroundings because of internal dissatisfaction.

उसकी आँखों में छिपी खिन्नता को पहचानना मुश्किल नहीं था। (It was not difficult to recognize the dejection hidden in her eyes.)

Using खिन्नता (Khinnatā) correctly requires attention to its grammatical gender and the verbs it typically associates with. As a feminine noun, any adjectives modifying it must be in the feminine form. For example, 'deep dejection' is 'गहरी खिन्नता' (gahrī khinnatā), not 'गहरा खिन्नता'. This subtle grammatical detail is crucial for sounding natural in Hindi. The word functions primarily as a subject or an object representing an emotional state.

Subject Position: When khinnatā is the subject, it often 'pervades' or 'spreads'. Example: 'उसके चेहरे पर खिन्नता थी' (There was dejection on his face). Here, the dejection is a visible state.
Object Position: When used as an object, it follows verbs like 'महसूस करना' (to feel) or 'प्रकट करना' (to express). Example: 'उसने अपनी खिन्नता व्यक्त की' (He expressed his dejection).

लगातार हार से खिलाड़ियों में खिन्नता का भाव पैदा हो गया। (A feeling of dejection arose among the players due to continuous losses.)

One of the most common ways to use the word is to describe an atmosphere. You might say 'वातावरण में खिन्नता व्याप्त थी' (The atmosphere was pervaded by dejection). This is particularly useful in descriptive writing or storytelling where you want to set a somber mood. Unlike the word 'दुख' (dukh), which can be used for physical pain or acute grief, khinnatā is almost exclusively psychological and mood-oriented.

उसकी बातों में एक अजीब सी खिन्नता झलक रही थी। (A strange dejection was reflecting in his words.)

In formal Hindi, you will see it in administrative or social contexts. For instance, 'जनता की खिन्नता' (the public's dejection/discontent) is a common phrase in editorials. It implies a collective feeling of being let down by the system. In these contexts, it is more than just sadness; it is a lack of morale. When building sentences, try to connect khinnatā to a cause using 'के कारण' (due to) or 'से' (from/by) to provide context for the emotion.

असफलता की खिन्नता से उबरना आसान नहीं होता। (It is not easy to recover from the dejection of failure.)

Finally, remember that khinnatā is an abstract noun. It doesn't have a plural form that is commonly used. You wouldn't say 'खिन्नताएं'; instead, you would describe the intensity or duration of the single state of khinnatā. By mastering this word, you can accurately depict the low-energy, heavy-hearted moments of life in your Hindi conversations and writing.

While खिन्नता (Khinnatā) might not be the first word a teenager uses on a casual phone call, it is omnipresent in specific high-level environments. Understanding where this word lives will help you recognize it in the wild. It is a staple of 'Shuddh Hindi' (pure/formal Hindi) and literary works. If you are reading a classic Hindi novel or watching a serious drama (like those on Doordarshan or high-quality streaming services), you will encounter this word frequently to describe the inner turmoil of characters.

News and Media: In news broadcasts, especially during discussions about social issues, economic downturns, or political scandals, anchors use khinnatā to describe the public mood. 'देश भर में इस घटना को लेकर खिन्नता है' (There is dejection across the country regarding this incident).
Literature and Poetry: Poets use it to convey 'vishaad' (deep sorrow) or 'niraasha' (hopelessness). It fits perfectly into the rhythmic and emotional structure of Hindi poetry that deals with the human condition.

समाचार पत्र ने आर्थिक मंदी के कारण युवाओं में बढ़ती खिन्नता पर लेख लिखा। (The newspaper wrote an article on the increasing dejection among youth due to the economic recession.)

You will also hear this word in formal speeches. A teacher might address a class that has performed poorly by saying, 'मुझे आपकी प्रगति देखकर खिन्नता हो रही है' (I am feeling dejection seeing your progress). Here, it conveys a sense of being let down or disappointed rather than just being 'sad'. It carries a weight of authority and serious reflection.

रेडियो पर वक्ता ने समाज में व्याप्त खिन्नता को दूर करने के उपाय बताए। (The speaker on the radio suggested ways to remove the dejection pervading society.)

In professional settings, khinnatā might appear in formal feedback or reports. If a project fails to meet expectations, the resulting 'employee morale' issue might be described as khinnatā in a Hindi-language business report. It suggests a lack of spirit or enthusiasm. Even in religious or spiritual discourses (Satsangs), the word is used to describe the state of a person who is 'sansar-khinn'—weary or dejected by the worldly life, seeking spiritual solace. Thus, the word spans from the mundane (news) to the profound (spirituality).

फिल्म के अंत ने दर्शकों को एक अजीब सी खिन्नता में छोड़ दिया। (The end of the film left the audience in a strange dejection.)

Because खिन्नता (Khinnatā) is a B2-level word, learners often make specific errors in its application, gender, and intensity. The most common mistake is confusing it with 'क्रोध' (krodh - anger) or 'चिड़चिड़ापन' (chiṛchiṛāpan - irritability). While khinnatā can sometimes involve a bit of annoyance, its core is sadness and dejection, not outward aggression. If you are angry at someone, you are 'क्रोधित' (angry), not necessarily 'खिन्न' (dejected).

Gender Errors: Many learners treat abstract nouns as masculine by default. Remember: Khinnatā is feminine. Saying 'उसका खिन्नता' is wrong; it must be 'उसकी खिन्नता'. Adjectives must also match: 'गहरी खिन्नता' (Correct) vs 'गहरा खिन्नता' (Incorrect).
Overuse for Small Issues: Using khinnatā to describe being slightly upset because your coffee is cold sounds overly dramatic. It's like saying 'I am in a state of existential despair' when you just mean 'I'm a bit bummed'. Use 'उदास' or 'परेशान' for minor things.

Incorrect: मुझे बहुत खिन्नता हो रहा है। (Muje bahut khinnatā ho rahā hai.)
Correct: मुझे बहुत खिन्नता हो रही है। (Muje bahut khinnatā ho rahī hai.)

Another mistake is using it as an adjective. Khinnatā is the noun (dejection); 'Khinn' (खिन्न) is the adjective (dejected). You can say 'वह खिन्न है' (He is dejected) or 'उसके मन में खिन्नता है' (There is dejection in his mind). Learners often mix these up, saying 'वह खिन्नता है', which would mean 'He is dejection'—a personification that usually isn't intended.

Incorrect: उसकी खिन्नता का कारण बहुत बड़ा था। (Correct grammar, but check context).
Wait, the error often lies in confusing it with 'घृणा' (hatred). Khinnatā is inward-facing sorrow; ghṛṇā is outward-facing hate.

Finally, ensure you don't confuse khinnatā with 'थकान' (thakān - tiredness). While dejection can make you feel tired, the word itself refers to the mental state. If you are physically exhausted after a run, do not use khinnatā. Use it only when the 'heaviness' is in the heart and mind due to life's circumstances or disappointments.

Hindi is rich in vocabulary for emotions. To use खिन्नता (Khinnatā) effectively, you must know how it compares to its synonyms. Each word has a specific 'register' (formality level) and a slightly different emotional 'flavor'. While 'उदासी' is the most common word for sadness, khinnatā suggests a deeper, more intellectualized dejection.

उदासी (Udāsī) vs. खिन्नता: Udāsī is general sadness. Anyone from a child to an adult can feel udāsī. Khinnatā is more formal and implies a state of being 'downcast' or 'dispirited' often due to a specific disappointment.
निराशा (Nirāshā) vs. खिन्नता: Nirāshā means 'hopelessness' or 'disappointment'. While khinnatā is the feeling you have, nirāshā is often the state of having no hope. They are close, but khinnatā focuses more on the 'gloom' of the mood.
विषाद (Vishād) vs. खिन्नता: Vishād is very formal/literary, often translated as 'despair' or 'deep melancholy'. It is even heavier than khinnatā and is used in high literature or philosophical texts (like the 'Arjun-Vishad-Yoga' in the Gita).

तुलना:
1. मुझे उदासी महसूस हो रही है। (I feel sad - General)
2. मुझे अपनी हार पर खिन्नता है। (I feel dejection at my defeat - Specific/Formal)

Other alternatives include 'ग्लानि' (glāni), which means 'remorse' or 'self-reproach'—a specific type of dejection where you feel bad about your own actions. There is also 'मैल' (mail) in a metaphorical sense (मन का मैल), though that is more about bitterness. If you want to express a lighter version, you might use 'मन खराब होना' (to have a bad mood), which is very common in spoken Hindi.

उसके मन की खिन्नता उसकी चुप्पी से झलक रही थी। (The dejection of his mind was reflecting from his silence.)

In summary, while 'sadness' is the broad category, khinnatā is the specific shade of that emotion that comes from being disheartened or dispirited. Knowing these alternatives allows you to choose the exact 'color' of emotion for your sentence, making your Hindi much more expressive and precise.

よくある間違い

Using 'Mera Khinnata' → Using 'Meri Khinnata'
Khinnatā is feminine, so the possessive pronoun must be 'meri'.
Saying 'Khinnata ho raha hai' → Saying 'Khinnata ho rahi hai'
The verb must agree with the feminine gender of the noun.
Confusing with 'Gussa' (Anger) → Using it for sadness/dejection
Khinnata is a low-energy emotion, not an aggressive one like anger.
Using it for physical tiredness → Using 'Thakan' for tiredness
Khinnata is mental dejection, not physical exhaustion.
Treating it as a countable noun → Using it as an abstract state
You don't usually have 'three dejections'; you just have 'dejection'.

ヒント

Gender Agreement

Always remember that Khinnatā is feminine. This is the most common mistake for learners. Practice saying 'Badi Khinnata' (Big dejection).

Literary Flair

Use Khinnata instead of Udasi in your writing to instantly make your Hindi sound more advanced and literary.

The 'Kh' Sound

Make sure to aspirate the 'Kh'. It's not a 'K' sound. Imagine you are clearing your throat slightly or sighing.

Social Mood

Use this word when talking about the 'vibe' of a place that feels gloomy or disappointed, like a city after a disaster.

Suffix Power

Learn the '-ta' suffix. It turns adjectives like 'Khinn' into abstract nouns like 'Khinnata'. This works for many Hindi words!

Emotional Weight

When you use 'Khinnata', speak a bit more slowly. It's a heavy word and sounds better with a serious tone.

Spot the Root

When you see 'Khinnata', look for the cause in the sentence. It usually follows a reason given with 'se' or 'ke karan'.

Avoid Repetition

In an essay, alternate between 'Khinnata', 'Nirasha', and 'Udasi' to keep your writing engaging.

Character Depth

In Indian stories, a character feeling 'Khinnata' is often seen as deep or thoughtful. Use it to describe such characters.

News Keywords

If you hear 'Khinnata' in the news, you know the story is about something disappointing or somber.

暗記しよう

記憶術

Think of 'Khinnata' as being 'Pinned' down by sadness. The 'kh' sound is like a sigh of disappointment.

視覚的連想

Imagine a heavy grey cloud sitting right on top of someone's head, pressing them down.

チャレンジ

Try to use 'Khinnata' in a sentence describing a character in a movie you recently watched.

語源

Derived from the Sanskrit word 'खिन्नता' (Khinnatā), which comes from the root 'खिद्' (khid).

元の意味： The root 'khid' means to strike, press down, or be weary/depressed.

Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit descendant).

文化的な背景

It is a safe, formal word. It doesn't carry negative social stigma, but rather implies a deep and valid emotional state.

It is closest to the English literary term 'dejection' or 'melancholy', rather than just 'sadness'.

Used frequently in the novels of Munshi Premchand to describe the plight of the poor. Appears in many Bollywood songs that have a philosophical or sad theme. Often found in Hindi translations of Russian literature (Dostoevsky, Tolstoy) to capture existential gloom.

It is less common than 'Dil', 'Dard', or 'Gham', but you will find it in more poetic or philosophical songs from the golden era or indie artists.

You can say 'मैं खिन्न हूँ' (adjective) or 'मुझे खिन्नता महसूस हो रही है' (noun).
