解説 लालसा रखना in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't need to use 'लालसा रखना' yet. It is a bit too complex. Instead, you use 'चाहना' (chāhnā). For example, 'मैं पानी चाहता हूँ' (I want water). 'लालसा रखना' is like saying 'I have a deep hunger in my soul for water,' which is too much for a beginner! Just focus on basic 'want' words for now. However, it's good to know that 'लालसा' means a very strong 'want.' If you see this word in a book, just think of it as a very, very big 'इच्छा' (wish). You usually see the 'की' (kī) word before it. This 'की' is important because 'लालसा' is a feminine word. Even at A1, you can start noticing how Hindi uses 'ki' with feminine nouns.

At the A2 level, you are starting to learn more specific words. 'लालसा रखना' is a step above 'चाहना.' You might use it if you are talking about a big dream, like 'मैं डॉक्टर बनने की लालसा रखता हूँ' (I hold a desire to become a doctor). Notice the 'की' (kī) and the 'ने' (nē) ending on 'बनने.' This is because 'लालसा' is a feminine noun and it follows an action. You should try to recognize this word when you hear it in stories or songs. It's often used when someone is talking about their heart's desire. It's different from 'लालच' (greed), which is a bad thing. 'लालसा' is usually okay or even a good feeling of wanting something special.

At the B1 level, 'लालसा रखना' is a perfect word to add to your vocabulary. It shows that you can express complex emotions. You should use it when describing long-term goals or deep feelings. For example, 'वह अपने परिवार से मिलने की लालसा रखता है' (He longs to meet his family). At this level, you must be careful with grammar. Remember that in the past tense, you use 'ने' with the subject: 'उसने शांति की लालसा रखी' (He/She desired peace). The verb 'रखी' matches 'लालसा' (feminine). You can use this word in essays or when talking about your passions. It sounds much more mature than just saying 'मुझे यह चाहिए' (I want this).

At the B2 level, you should be able to distinguish 'लालसा रखना' from its synonyms like 'अभिलाषा' or 'तरसना.' You use 'लालसा रखना' to describe a persistent, intense desire that might be internal or spiritual. It's common in formal writing and literature. You should also be comfortable using it in various complex tenses, such as the future subjunctive: 'शायद वह सफलता की लालसा रखे' (Perhaps he may hold a desire for success). You can use this word to discuss social issues, like the public's longing for reform. It adds a layer of 'Shuddh Hindi' (pure Hindi) to your speech, which is expected at this level of fluency. You should also understand its use in poetic contexts.

You are also aware of the word's etymology (from Sanskrit) and how it fits into the broader landscape of Indo-Aryan vocabulary. You can use it to create specific rhetorical effects in your writing, contrasting it with more mundane terms to emphasize a point.

You can seamlessly switch between this and its Urdu counterparts like 'तमन्ना' depending on the audience and the desired tone.

You can play with the word's associations, using it to evoke specific cultural or emotional responses in your listeners or readers. You might even use it to discuss the linguistics of desire itself.

लालसा रखना 30秒で

Intense longing or yearning.
Used for deep, soulful desires.
Grammatically feminine (uses 'ki').
Formal and poetic register.

The Hindi verb लालसा रखना (Lālsā rakhnā) is a sophisticated expression that transcends the simple English word 'to want.' At its core, it describes a profound psychological and emotional state of intense longing, yearning, or a deep-seated desire for something that is often perceived as precious, elusive, or transformative. While 'चाहना' (chāhnā) might suffice for wanting a cup of tea, 'लालसा रखना' is reserved for those burning ambitions, soulful cravings, and spiritual hungers that define human experience. In Hindi literature and high-register conversation, this term carries a weight of persistence; it is not a fleeting whim but a sustained state of being where the heart is constantly leaning toward an object, person, or ideal.

Emotional Depth: This phrase implies a certain level of vulnerability. When one 'लालसा रखता है', they are admitting that their current state is incomplete without the object of their desire. It is often used in the context of freedom, success, or enlightenment.
Grammarian's Note: Structurally, 'लालसा' is a feminine noun meaning 'longing,' and 'रखना' is the verb 'to keep' or 'to hold.' Thus, literally, you are 'holding a longing' for something. This suggests that the desire is something you carry within you as a possession of the heart.

वह वर्षों से अपनी मातृभूमि लौटने की लालसा रखता है। (He has been longing to return to his motherland for years.)

Example of persistent, deep-seated desire.

In contemporary settings, you might hear this in political speeches where a leader speaks of the public's 'लालसा' for change, or in romantic poetry where the lover 'लालसा रखता है' for a single glimpse of the beloved. It is a word that elevates the conversation, signaling that the speaker is discussing matters of the soul rather than mere material needs. However, it can also have a negative connotation if used to describe greed or 'लोभ' (lobh), though 'लालसा' usually retains a more poetic and poignant flavor than the more base 'लालच' (lālach).

एक कलाकार हमेशा अपनी कला में पूर्णता की लालसा रखता है। (An artist always desires perfection in their art.)

The frequency of this word in Bollywood lyrics is notable. Songwriters often use it to describe the 'तड़प' (taḍap) or the restless ache of the heart. It provides a more formal and rhythmic alternative to 'इच्छा' (ichhā). When you use 'लालसा रखना' in your Hindi, you signal to native speakers that you have moved beyond basic communication into the realm of expressing complex human sentiments. It is particularly effective in writing—journals, letters, or essays—where you want to emphasize the duration and intensity of a feeling.

Colloquial Usage: While less common in slang, it appears in serious discussions about life goals. You might hear a parent say they have a 'लालसा' to see their child settled and happy.

Using लालसा रखना correctly requires an understanding of its transitive nature and its requirement for the postposition 'की' (kī). Because 'लालसा' is a feminine noun, the object of your desire must be linked to it using 'की'. The basic formula is: [Subject] + [Object] + की + लालसा + रखना/रखती/रखते + [Auxiliary Verb]. This structure remains consistent across most tenses, though the verb 'रखना' conjugates to match the subject's gender and number.

हर मनुष्य सुख और शांति की लालसा रखता है। (Every human holds a desire for happiness and peace.)

When conjugating for different tenses, focus on the 'रखना' part. For example, in the past tense: 'उसने सफलता की लालसा रखी' (He/She held a desire for success). Note that because this is a transitive construction with 'ने' in the perfective aspect, the verb 'रखी' agrees with the feminine noun 'लालसा', not the subject. This is a common point of confusion for B1 learners. In the continuous tense, it becomes 'वह विदेश जाने की लालसा रख रहा है' (He is keeping/nurturing a desire to go abroad).

The 'Ki' (की) Connection: Always remember that 'लालसा' is the target of the 'ki'. If you are desiring an action (a verb), that verb must be in its oblique infinitive form ending in 'ने'. Example: 'खेलने की लालसा' (desire to play).

In formal writing, you can use it to express national or collective aspirations. A journalist might write, 'देश विकास की नई ऊंचाइयों को छूने की लालसा रखता है' (The country desires to touch new heights of development). Here, the 'लालसा' is not just a personal wish but a collective drive. It functions almost like the English phrase 'to harbor a desire,' suggesting that the feeling is kept safe and nurtured within.

क्या तुम अब भी उससे मिलने की लालसा रखते हो? (Do you still desire to meet her/him?)

Negative constructions are also powerful. 'वह अब किसी भी चीज़ की लालसा नहीं रखता' (He no longer desires anything) suggests a state of renunciation or perhaps deep disappointment. The absence of 'लालसा' is often used in philosophical texts to describe the state of 'Moksha' or liberation, where one has overcome all worldly cravings. Thus, mastering this word gives you access to both the most passionate and the most stoic ends of the Hindi linguistic spectrum.

You will encounter लालसा रखना in several specific contexts in the Hindi-speaking world. First and foremost is Literature and Poetry. From the classical works of Premchand to modern Hindi poets, this phrase is used to describe the internal struggles of characters. It is the language of the 'Antarmann' (inner mind). If a character is driven by a secret ambition or a tragic unrequited love, the author will likely use 'लालसा' to describe their state.

Bollywood and Media: In soulful ballads or intense dramatic monologues, 'लालसा' adds a layer of 'Shuddh Hindi' (pure Hindi) that sounds more poetic than everyday speech. News anchors might use it when discussing the 'long-awaited' desires of a community for justice or infrastructure.

'मुक्ति की लालसा' (Desire for liberation) is a common theme in Indian philosophical discourse.

Secondly, it appears frequently in Religious and Spiritual Discourses. Gurus and preachers often talk about 'सांसारिक लालसा' (worldly desires) and how one should strive to keep a 'लालसा' only for the divine. In this context, the word helps distinguish between 'Vasana' (base lust/desire) and a more elevated 'Lalsa' (spiritual yearning). It is a key term in understanding the Indian worldview of desire and its impact on the soul.

Thirdly, you will find it in Motivational and Self-Help Content in Hindi. When speakers encourage their audience to 'dream big,' they often tell them to 'सफलता की तीव्र लालसा रखो' (keep an intense desire for success). It is used here as a positive, driving force—the engine of achievement. It implies that without this deep-seated yearning, one cannot overcome the obstacles of life.

उसकी आँखों में जीत की लालसा साफ दिख रही थी। (The desire for victory was clearly visible in his eyes.)

Lastly, in Formal Speeches and Essays, students and professionals use it to add gravitas to their language. Using 'लालसा रखना' instead of 'चाहना' in a college application essay about why you want to study medicine would immediately signal a higher level of linguistic proficiency and a more serious intent. It shows you understand the 'vazan' (weight) of Hindi words.

The most frequent mistake learners make with लालसा रखना involves the gender of the noun and its subsequent impact on the sentence structure. Since 'लालसा' is always feminine, the linking word must be 'की' (kī), never 'का' (kā) or 'के' (kē). Many students mistakenly say 'सफलता का लालसा' because they assume 'लालसा' is masculine like 'लक्ष्य' (goal) or 'विचार' (thought). This is a giveaway that the speaker is not yet comfortable with Hindi noun genders.

The 'Ne' (ने) Trap: In the past tense, beginners often forget to use the 'ने' particle with the subject. Because 'रखना' is transitive, you must say 'उसने लालसा रखी' (He/She held a desire). Furthermore, the verb 'रखी' must agree with 'लालसा' (feminine), not the person who had the desire.

❌ गलत: वह शांति का लालसा रखता है।
✅ सही: वह शांति की लालसा रखता है।

Another error is using 'लालसा' for trivial things. You wouldn't typically say 'मुझे पिज्जा खाने की लालसा है' unless you were being intentionally dramatic or had been deprived of pizza for months. Using it for mundane desires makes the speaker sound unnatural or overly formal in a way that feels 'kitabi' (bookish). Stick to 'मन है' or 'इच्छा है' for daily cravings.

Finally, watch out for the verb conjugation in compound sentences. If you are using 'लालसा रखना' as part of a list of actions, ensure the 'रखना' part is conjugated correctly for the subject's gender in the non-perfective tenses. For example, 'लड़कियाँ आगे बढ़ने की लालसा रखती हैं' (The girls desire to move forward). Notice the 'रखती' (feminine plural) and 'हैं'.

❌ गलत: मैंने एक घर का लालसा रखा।
✅ सही: मैंने एक घर की लालसा रखी।

A subtle mistake is omitting the auxiliary verb 'है' or 'था' in present or past continuous forms. 'वह जाने की लालसा रख रहा' is incomplete; it needs 'है' to finish the thought. This is a general Hindi error but very common when learners are focusing on a complex new vocabulary item like 'लालसा रखना'.

To truly master लालसा रखना, you must understand where it sits in the hierarchy of Hindi words for 'desire.' Hindi is rich with synonyms, each carrying a different flavor of intensity, morality, and formality. The most common alternative is इच्छा करना (Ichhā karnā). This is the neutral, standard word for 'to wish' or 'to desire.' It is safe to use in almost any context but lacks the poetic 'ache' that 'लालसा' provides.

लालसा vs. अभिलाषा (Abhilāshā): 'अभिलाषा' is even more formal and often used in literature. It translates to 'aspiration' or 'cherished desire.' While 'लालसा' can feel like a hunger from within, 'अभिलाषा' feels like a noble goal you are looking up toward.
लालसा vs. चाहना (Chāhnā): 'चाहना' is the simplest verb, meaning 'to want' or 'to love.' It is the workhorse of the language. Use it for everyday wants. 'लालसा रखना' is for when 'चाहना' isn't strong enough.

तरसना (Tarasnā): This means 'to pine for' or 'to crave desperately.' It is more emotional and visceral than 'लालसा रखना.' If 'लालसा' is a deep desire, 'तरसना' is the painful feeling of that desire being unfulfilled.

Another important comparison is with आकांक्षा (Ākānkshā), which means 'ambition' or 'expectation.' This is commonly used in professional and academic settings. If you have a 'लालसा' for a job, it sounds like a dream; if you have an 'आकांक्षा' for a job, it sounds like a career plan. Similarly, कामना (Kāmnā) is often used in the context of well-wishes or prayers, such as 'मेरी शुभकामनाएँ' (my best wishes).

For those interested in Urdu-influenced Hindi, the word तमन्ना (Tamannā) is a beautiful alternative. It is used extensively in Ghazals and songs. 'मेरी तमन्ना है' (It is my desire) is almost identical in meaning to 'मेरी लालसा है,' but 'तमन्ना' carries a more romantic, Persianate flair. Choosing between 'लालसा' and 'तमन्ना' often depends on the overall 'vibe' or 'zabaan' (language style) you are aiming for—Sanskrit-derived or Persian-derived.

लोभ (Lobh) / लालच (Lālach): These are the negative counterparts. They imply greed. Avoid these when you want to describe a positive or neutral deep desire.

In summary, 'लालसा रखना' is your go-to phrase for expressing a 'hunger of the heart' that is persistent and significant. By understanding its synonyms, you can choose the exact shade of desire you wish to convey, making your Hindi more precise and evocative.

Derived from the Sanskrit root 'Lal' (लल्) which means to play, dally, or desire. The suffix '-asā' creates the noun form.

元の意味： Intense desire, playfulness of the mind toward an object.
