At the A1 level, learners should recognize 'नब्ज़' as a basic word related to health. It is usually taught alongside body parts and simple ailments. The focus is on the literal meaning: the pulse you check when you are sick. Phrases like 'डॉक्टर नब्ज़ देखते हैं' (The doctor checks the pulse) are common. Learners should know it is a feminine noun and usually follows 'की'. At this stage, avoid complex idioms and focus on the physical sensation of the pulse.
At the A2 level, learners begin to use 'नब्ज़' in simple sentences about their health or the health of others. They should be able to describe the pulse using basic adjectives like 'तेज़' (fast) or 'धीमी' (slow). They should also understand the basic metaphorical use, such as 'feeling the pulse' of a small situation or a friend's mood. This is the stage where the distinction between 'नब्ज़' (pulse) and 'धड़कन' (heartbeat) becomes important for clear communication with a doctor.
By B1, learners should be comfortable with common idioms involving 'नब्ज़'. 'नब्ज़ पहचानना' (to know the pulse/nature) should be part of their vocabulary. They should be able to read news articles that use 'नब्ज़' in a political or economic context (e.g., the pulse of the market). They understand that 'नब्ज़' is not just a medical term but a tool for social analysis. Their grammar should be precise, consistently treating the word as feminine in all tenses.
B2 learners can use 'नब्ज़' in nuanced arguments. They might use it to describe the 'vibe' of a cultural movement or the underlying tension in a social scenario. They are familiar with more obscure collocations and can distinguish between 'नब्ज़ टटोलना' (probing/guessing) and 'नब्ज़ पकड़ना' (catching/finding the exact issue). They can use the word effectively in creative writing to add depth to a character's observational skills.
At the C1 level, the word 'नब्ज़' becomes a stylistic tool. The learner can use it in literary analysis, discussing how an author captures the 'नब्ज़' of an era. They are aware of the Persian and Arabic roots of the word and how it fits into the 'Ghazal' tradition of Urdu poetry, where the physician (maseeha) checks the pulse of the love-sick poet. They can use the word in formal speeches to sound sophisticated and culturally grounded.
C2 speakers use 'नब्ज़' with the ease of a native speaker, employing it in complex metaphors, philosophical discussions, and technical medical discourse. They understand the subtle difference between 'नब्ज़' and its Sanskrit counterpart 'नाड़ी' in terms of register and cultural weight. They can play with the word in puns or high-level rhetoric, using it to signify the very essence of existence or the turning point of a historical event.

नब्ज़ 30秒で

  • नब्ज़ means 'pulse' and is used both medically and metaphorically.
  • It is a feminine noun of Arabic origin, widely used in Hindi and Urdu.
  • Commonly paired with verbs like 'देखना' (check) and 'पहचानना' (recognize).
  • Essential for discussing health, politics, and understanding people's nature.

The Hindi word नब्ज़ (Nabz) is a fascinating loanword from Arabic that has become an integral part of the Hindi-Urdu lexicon. At its most literal level, it refers to the physiological pulse—the rhythmic expansion and contraction of an artery as blood is pumped through it by the heart. However, in the rich tapestry of South Asian communication, its utility extends far beyond the doctor's clinic. It is a word of intuition, diagnosis, and deep understanding.

Literal Medical Usage
In a medical context, 'नब्ज़' is the primary word used to describe the pulse. When someone feels faint or ill, the first action is often 'नब्ज़ टटोलना' (feeling the pulse). It represents the vital spark of life.
Metaphorical Understanding
Metaphorically, 'नब्ज़' refers to the inner workings, the mood, or the 'vibe' of a person, a situation, or even a nation. To 'know someone's nabz' means to understand their deepest inclinations and reactions.

डॉक्टर ने मरीज़ की नब्ज़ जाँची और दवाई दी। (The doctor checked the patient's pulse and gave medicine.)

Understanding 'नब्ज़' is crucial for A2 learners because it bridges the gap between basic survival Hindi and expressive, idiomatic Hindi. While 'धड़कन' (dhadkan) refers specifically to the heartbeat, 'नब्ज़' is what you feel at the wrist. This distinction is important in both health and literature. In poetry, a lover might claim to know the 'नब्ज़' of their beloved, signifying a psychological connection rather than a medical one.

वह राजनीति की नब्ज़ पहचानता है। (He understands the pulse of politics.)

In daily life, you will hear this word in pharmacies, hospitals, and news debates. A journalist might talk about 'जनता की नब्ज़' (the pulse of the public), referring to the prevailing public opinion. This versatility makes it a high-frequency word despite its seemingly technical origin. It captures the essence of rhythm—not just of the body, but of life itself.

Using 'नब्ज़' correctly requires an understanding of its feminine gender and its common verb pairings. Most commonly, it is used with 'देखना' (to see/check), 'टटोलना' (to feel/probe), and 'पहचानना' (to recognize/know). Here we explore various sentence structures across different levels of complexity.

Simple Physical State
Used to describe the physiological pulse. Example: 'उसकी नब्ज़ तेज़ चल रही है' (His pulse is running fast).

क्या आप मेरी नब्ज़ देख सकते हैं? (Can you check my pulse?)

In metaphorical sentences, 'नब्ज़' often takes the possessive 'की'. For example, 'शहर की नब्ज़' (the pulse of the city). This implies looking for the underlying energy or trend of a location. If you are describing a person's expertise in understanding others, you would say they 'know the pulse'.

एक अच्छा नेता जनता की नब्ज़ जानता है। (A good leader knows the pulse of the people.)

Emergency Situations
'नब्ज़ नहीं मिल रही' (Pulse cannot be found) is a common phrase used in emergencies to indicate a critical condition.

'नब्ज़' is a word that straddles the line between formal medical terminology and everyday idiomatic speech. You will hear it in various settings, from the high-stress environment of a hospital to the analytical atmosphere of a newsroom.

In Healthcare
Nurses and doctors use it constantly. 'नब्ज़ गिर रही है' (The pulse is falling/dropping) is a phrase used when a patient's condition is deteriorating.

नर्स हर घंटे नब्ज़ चेक करती है। (The nurse checks the pulse every hour.)

In the media, journalists use 'नब्ज़' to describe the 'mood' of a demographic. During elections, you will frequently hear 'वोटरों की नब्ज़ टटोलना' (probing the pulse of the voters). This refers to opinion polls or ground-level reporting to understand which way the wind is blowing.

बाज़ार की नब्ज़ को समझना आसान नहीं है। (It is not easy to understand the pulse of the market.)

Learners often struggle with 'नब्ज़' due to its gender and its phonetic similarity to other words. Here are the most common pitfalls to avoid.

Gender Confusion
Many learners assume 'नब्ज़' is masculine because it doesn't end in the typical feminine 'i' sound. However, it is feminine. Incorrect: 'उसका नब्ज़'. Correct: 'उसकी नब्ज़'.

गलत: डॉक्टर ने मेरा नब्ज़ देखा।
सही: डॉक्टर ने मेरी नब्ज़ देखी।

Another mistake is confusing 'नब्ज़' (pulse) with 'नस्' (nas - vein/nerve). While they are related in medical contexts, 'नब्ज़' is the rhythmic beat, whereas 'नस्' is the physical vessel or nerve itself. You feel the 'नब्ज़', but you might have pain in a 'नस्'.

While 'नब्ज़' is widely used, Hindi offers several synonyms depending on the register (formal, poetic, or common).

नाड़ी (Naadi)
This is the Sanskrit-derived term. It is used in formal medical contexts (Ayurveda) and is also feminine. It is often interchangeable with 'नब्ज़' but feels more 'pure Hindi'.
धड़कन (Dhadkan)
Refers specifically to the heartbeat. You feel the 'नब्ज़' at the wrist but hear the 'धड़कन' in the chest.
स्पंदन (Spandan)
A highly formal and poetic word meaning 'vibration' or 'pulsation'. Used in literature to describe the 'throbbing' of life or emotions.

उसकी नाड़ी बहुत कमज़ोर है। (Her pulse is very weak - using the Sanskrit synonym.)

How Formal Is It?

よくある質問

10 問

It is feminine. You should always use feminine verbs and adjectives with it, like 'नब्ज़ चल रही है' (the pulse is running).

Technically no. Heartbeat is 'Dhadkan'. 'Nabz' is the pulse you feel at your wrist or neck.

It literally means 'to feel the pulse', but metaphorically it means to try and figure out someone's hidden thoughts or the mood of a situation.

Yes, it is very common in formal Hindi, though 'Naadi' is sometimes used in highly Sanskritized or Ayurvedic contexts.

You can say 'नब्ज़ देखना' (Nabz dekhna) or 'नब्ज़ जाँचना' (Nabz jaanchma).

The plural is 'नब्ज़ें' (Nabzein), but it is almost always used in the singular form.

It is of Arabic origin and came to Hindi through Urdu/Persian. It is now a standard word in both Hindi and Urdu.

No, 'vein' is 'Nas'. 'Nabz' is only the rhythm or the pulse.

It means 'the pulse of the people', referring to public opinion or the common mood of the citizens.

The dot (nukta) changes the 'j' sound to a 'z' sound, which is required for the correct pronunciation of this Arabic loanword.
