설명 इंतकाम in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't really need the word 'इंतकाम'. It is too complex and dramatic for basic needs. Instead, you should learn the word 'बदला' (badla), which means 'change' or 'revenge'. If you want to say 'I want my money back', you use 'badla' in the sense of exchange. 'इंतकाम' is specifically for serious hurt, which you won't usually talk about when you are just learning to say 'Hello' and 'Where is the bathroom?'. Just remember that 'Intakaam' is a big word for 'Revenge' that you might hear in movies.

You can start to see the difference between 'बदला' (common) and 'इंतकाम' (dramatic). A simple sentence like 'वह इंतकाम चाहता है' (He wants revenge) is something you can understand. You should also notice that it is a masculine word, so we say 'मेरा इंतकाम' (my revenge).

At the C1 level, you should be able to appreciate the stylistic choice of using 'इंतकाम' over other synonyms.

연습하기 예시 노트와 팁

इंतकाम 30초 만에

Intakaam means revenge or retribution.
It is a masculine noun of Arabic origin used in Hindi and Urdu.
It carries a more dramatic and formal tone than 'badla'.
Frequently used with verbs like 'lena' (take) or 'poora karna' (complete).

The word इंतकाम (Intakaam) is a powerful, evocative noun used to describe the act of seeking retribution or vengeance. While the common Hindi word for revenge is 'badla', 'intakaam' carries a much heavier, often more poetic or dramatic connotation. It suggests a deep-seated desire for justice or payback for a perceived wrong, often involving a long-standing grievance or a significant injury to one's honor or family. In the spectrum of Hindi vocabulary, 'intakaam' sits at a higher register, often associated with literature, cinema, and formal discourse rather than casual daily conversation.

Semantic Depth: Unlike 'badla', which can be used for small exchanges (like getting back at a friend in a game), 'intakaam' implies a serious, life-altering pursuit of justice through retaliation. It is the resolution of a conflict that has caused deep emotional or physical scarring.

मैं अपनी बेइज्जती का इंतकाम लेकर रहूँगा। (I will definitely take revenge for my insult.)

Emotional Intensity: The word is frequently paired with fire imagery, such as 'intakaam ki aag' (the fire of revenge), highlighting the consuming nature of the emotion behind the word.

In contemporary settings, you might hear this word in news reports regarding political feuds or in high-stakes legal battles. It evokes a sense of finality. If someone says they are seeking 'intakaam', they are not just looking for an apology; they are looking for a balancing of the scales that is often proportional to the pain they suffered. It is a word that demands attention and signals a shift from ordinary conflict to a more profound struggle.

Literary Usage: In Urdu poetry (Ghazals), 'intakaam' is often the subject of the lover's grievance against the beloved or the world, though 'badla' is rarer in such high-art contexts.

इश्क में इंतकाम की गुंजाइश नहीं होती। (There is no room for revenge in love.)

Using 'इंतकाम' (Intakaam) correctly requires understanding its role as a masculine noun and its common verbal pairings. It is most frequently used with the verb 'लेना' (lena - to take) or 'पूरा करना' (poora karna - to fulfill/complete). Because it is a noun of Arabic origin, it fits naturally into sentences that use other Perso-Arabic vocabulary, though it is perfectly acceptable in standard Modern Hindi.

Structure: [Subject] + [Object] + का + इंतकाम + [Verb]: This is the standard formula for taking revenge for something. For example, 'उसने अपने पिता की मौत का इंतकाम लिया' (He took revenge for his father's death).

वह सालों से अपने इंतकाम का इंतज़ार कर रहा था। (He had been waiting for his revenge for years.)

You can also use 'इंतकाम' in the context of 'जुनून' (passion) or 'आग' (fire). For example, 'उसके सिर पर इंतकाम का जुनून सवार है' (He is obsessed with the passion for revenge). This highlights the psychological state of the person seeking vengeance. In more formal or legalistic contexts, one might speak of the 'इंतकाम की भावना' (feeling/sentiment of revenge) which needs to be controlled for the sake of social order.

Passive Usage: While less common, you can say 'इंतकाम लिया गया' (Revenge was taken). This distances the action from a specific individual, focusing on the act itself.

इतिहास गवाह है कि इंतकाम से सिर्फ विनाश होता है। (History is witness that only destruction comes from revenge.)

The word 'इंतकाम' is a staple of Hindi cinema (Bollywood). If you watch any action movie or drama from the 1970s to the present day, you are almost guaranteed to hear this word. It is the driving force behind many iconic plots. In fact, many movies are titled with this word, such as the 1969 film 'Intaqam' or more recent thrillers. It evokes a sense of epic struggle that the word 'badla' sometimes fails to capture.

Cinematic Tropes: The 'hero' often spends the entire movie preparing for 'intakaam' against a villain who destroyed his village or family. The climax is usually the moment this 'intakaam' is fulfilled.

मेरे इंतकाम की कहानी अभी शुरू हुई है। (The story of my revenge has just begun.)

Beyond the screen, you'll find 'intakaam' in literature, particularly in 'Shayari' (poetry) and 'Dastangoi' (storytelling). It is used to express the pain of betrayal. When a lover is jilted, they might speak of 'intakaam', though usually in a metaphorical sense—perhaps succeeding in life to show the other person what they lost. This nuance makes it a versatile word for expressing intense human resolve.

Daily Life: In daily life, people might use it jokingly among friends after a prank: 'अब मैं तुमसे इंतकाम लूँगा!' (Now I will take revenge on you!), though 'badla' is more common for lighthearted situations.

One of the most common mistakes learners make is using 'इंतकाम' in trivial situations. Because the word is so heavy and dramatic, using it because someone took your pen or forgot to call you back can sound overly melodramatic or even sarcastic. For everyday grievances, stick to 'बदला' (badla). 'इंतकाम' should be reserved for serious matters.

Gender Confusion: Learners often treat all abstract nouns as feminine. Remember, 'इंतकाम' is masculine. Saying 'मेरी इंतकाम' is incorrect; it must be 'मेरा इंतकाम'.

Incorrect: उसने अपनी इंतकाम पूरी की।
Correct: उसने अपना इंतकाम पूरा किया।

Another mistake is the preposition usage. In English, we take revenge 'on' someone. In Hindi, you take revenge 'from' someone (से इंतकाम लेना) or take revenge 'for' something (का इंतकाम लेना). Using the wrong postposition can change the clarity of your sentence. For instance, 'दुश्मन का इंतकाम' usually means 'the enemy's revenge' (revenge taken by the enemy), whereas 'दुश्मन से इंतकाम' means 'revenge from the enemy' (revenge you take against them).

Hindi has several words for revenge, each with a different nuance and origin. Choosing the right one depends on the context and the level of formality you wish to convey. Here is a comparison of 'इंतकाम' with its closest relatives.

बदला (Badla): The most common and versatile word. It can mean 'revenge', 'exchange', or 'return'. It is used in both casual and serious contexts. If you are unsure which word to use, 'badla' is usually the safest bet.
प्रतिशोध (Pratishodh): A high-register Sanskrit-derived word. It is very formal and often used in historical texts, literature, or formal speeches. It has a 'pure' or 'righteous' feel to it, often used when the revenge is seen as a moral duty.
वैर (Vair): This refers more to the state of 'enmity' or 'hostility' rather than the specific act of taking revenge. It is the underlying feeling that leads to 'intakaam'.

बदला = Common/Neutral
इंतकाम = Dramatic/Urdu-origin
प्रतिशोध = Formal/Sanskrit-origin

When choosing between 'intakaam' and 'pratishodh', consider the flavor of your speech. If you are using many Urdu words (like 'mohabbat', 'dosti', 'dushman'), 'intakaam' fits perfectly. If you are using more Sanskrit-derived words (like 'prem', 'mitrata', 'shatru'), 'pratishodh' is the better linguistic match. This awareness of 'register' is what separates intermediate learners from advanced speakers.

How Formal Is It?

어원

The word 'इंतकाम' originates from the Arabic root 'N-Q-M' (نقم), which relates to dislike, disdain, or punishment. It entered Hindi through Persianized Urdu during the Mughal era and subsequent cultural syntheses.

원래 의미: In Arabic, 'Intiqam' (اِنْتِقَام) literally means 'to take vengeance' or 'retribution'. It refers to the act of punishing someone for their transgressions.

Afro-Asiatic -> Semitic -> Arabic -> Persian -> Urdu -> Hindi.

문화적 맥락

Be careful using this word in real-life conflicts as it can sound threatening or overly aggressive. It is better suited for discussing fiction or history.

English speakers might relate it to 'Vendetta' or 'Eye for an eye'. It's more intense than just 'getting back' at someone.
