설명 क्लांत in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't need to use the word 'क्लांत' (klānta) actively. Instead, you should focus on the basic word 'थका हुआ' (thaka hua), which means 'tired.' However, it is good to recognize 'क्लांत' if you see it in a simple story. Think of it as a 'fancy' way to say you are very tired. At this stage, just remember that if a word starts with 'kl-' and looks like this, it probably means someone needs to sleep or rest very badly. You will mostly see this in picture books or very simple poems. Don't worry about using it in your daily 'Hello' and 'How are you' conversations yet. Focus on building your foundation with common verbs and nouns, but keep this word in the back of your mind as a special, descriptive term for later.

At the A2 level, you are starting to read slightly more complex sentences. You might encounter 'क्लांत' in short stories or simplified news snippets. You should understand that 'क्लांत' is an adjective. In Hindi, adjectives usually come before the noun they describe. So, if you see 'क्लांत यात्री' (klānta yātrī), you know it means 'a weary traveler.' You can start to distinguish between 'thaka' (tired) and 'klaant' (weary). Imagine 'thaka' is what you feel after a 10-minute walk, and 'klaant' is what you feel after walking for 5 hours. You might not use it when talking to your teacher, but you should be able to identify it as a word for exhaustion when you see it in text.

At the B1 level, this is a 'target word' for you. You should be able to both recognize and use 'क्लांत' in appropriate contexts. You are now moving beyond basic communication and into 'descriptive' communication. When writing an essay about a difficult journey or a hard-working person, using 'क्लांत' instead of 'thaka' will show that you have a more advanced vocabulary. You should understand its formal tone. For example, if you are writing a formal letter or a creative story, 'क्लांत' is a perfect choice. You should also be aware that it doesn't change much for gender in modern usage, making it easier to plug into sentences. Practice using it to describe people's faces or eyes, as this is a very common way the word is used in Hindi.

At the B2 level, you should have a firm grasp of the nuance between 'क्लांत' and its synonyms like 'पस्त' (past) or 'श्रमिक' (shramit). You should be able to use it in discussions about abstract topics like 'mental fatigue' (मानसिक क्लांति). You will notice that the word often appears in literature to describe a state of being that is not just physical but also emotional. You should be comfortable hearing this in news broadcasts or podcasts about social issues. At this level, you should also be able to recognize related forms like the noun 'क्लांति' (fatigue/weariness). Your goal is to use 'क्लांत' to add texture and emotion to your speaking and writing, ensuring you use it in formal or literary settings rather than casual ones.

At the C1 level, you should be able to appreciate the poetic and historical resonance of 'क्लांत.' You will encounter it in classical Hindi literature and high-level academic texts. You should understand how it can be used metaphorically—for example, a 'weary nation' or a 'weary tradition.' You should be able to use it effortlessly in a formal debate or a literary analysis. You should also be aware of its Sanskrit roots and how it fits into the broader family of Indo-Aryan languages. At this stage, you should be able to use 'क्लांत' to express subtle shades of meaning, such as the difference between being exhausted by work versus being weary of life. Your use of the word should feel natural and well-timed within a sophisticated discourse.

At the C2 level, you have a near-native command of the word. You can use 'क्लांत' in all its literary glory, perhaps even in your own Hindi poetry or advanced creative writing. You understand the specific 'vibe' the word creates in a sentence—a sense of gravity, history, and deep human experience. You can distinguish between its use in various dialects and historical periods of Hindi literature. You might use it to critique a piece of art, describing a character as 'eternally weary' (शाश्वत रूप से क्लांत). At this level, the word is not just a vocabulary item; it is a tool for precise emotional and intellectual expression. You can use it to evoke a specific mood in your audience, knowing exactly how a native speaker would react to its formal and heavy connotations.

क्लांत 30초 만에

Klaant (क्लांत) is a formal Hindi adjective meaning 'weary' or 'deeply fatigued.'
It is a Tatsama word (from Sanskrit) used mostly in literature and news.
It differs from the common 'thaka' by implying a more severe or visible state of exhaustion.
It can describe both physical tiredness and mental or emotional weariness.

The Hindi word क्लांत (klānta) is a sophisticated adjective that translates most accurately to 'weary,' 'fatigued,' or 'exhausted.' While the more common word for 'tired' in everyday Hindi is थका हुआ (thakā huā), क्लांत carries a heavier, more literary weight. It describes a state of deep physical or mental exhaustion that often implies a long period of struggle or labor. When you use this word, you aren't just saying you need a quick nap; you are conveying a sense of being drained to the core.

Register and Tone: This is a Tatsama word, meaning it is borrowed directly from Sanskrit. Consequently, it is found more frequently in literature, poetry, formal speeches, and high-register journalism than in casual street conversation. Using it in a casual setting might make you sound poetic or overly dramatic, which can be useful if that is your intention.
Nuance of Exhaustion: Unlike 'thaka,' which can be used for minor tiredness after a walk, क्लांत suggests a visible state of weariness. It often describes the look on someone's face or their physical posture after a monumental task. It evokes the image of a traveler who has walked for days or a laborer who has worked under the scorching sun.

दिन भर की कड़ी धूप में काम करने के बाद, वह अत्यंत क्लांत दिख रहा था। (After working in the harsh sun all day, he looked extremely weary.)

In modern contexts, you might hear this word in news reports discussing the condition of refugees or workers, or in a deep, meaningful conversation about burnout. It serves as an excellent bridge for intermediate learners to move from basic vocabulary to a more nuanced command of the language. Understanding क्लांत allows you to appreciate the texture of Hindi prose and the emotional depth it can convey. When you see a friend who looks beyond just 'tired'—perhaps they have dark circles under their eyes and a slow gait—calling them क्लांत acknowledges the gravity of their fatigue.

लंबी यात्रा ने यात्रियों को क्लांत कर दिया था। (The long journey had made the travelers weary.)

Using क्लांत (klānta) requires an understanding of its role as an adjective. It usually precedes the noun it modifies or follows a linking verb. Because it is an adjective, it must agree in gender and number with the noun it describes in many Indo-Aryan languages, but in modern Hindi, क्लांत is generally treated as an invariable adjective (it doesn't change to 'klāntī' for females), though some very traditional Sanskrit-heavy contexts might show variation.

Predictive Usage: When used after a verb like 'to be' (hona) or 'to appear' (dikna), it describes the subject's state. Example: 'Main klaant hoon' (I am weary).
Attributive Usage: When placed directly before a noun. Example: 'Klaant yatri' (The weary traveler). This usage is very common in descriptive writing and storytelling.

उसकी क्लांत आँखों में गहरी उदासी थी। (There was deep sadness in her weary eyes.)

One important aspect of using क्लांत is the adverbs that accompany it. Since it is already a strong word, using 'bahut' (very) or 'atyant' (extremely) makes it even more powerful. However, 'thoda' (a little) feels slightly mismatched with क्लांत because the word itself implies a significant level of tiredness. If you are only a little tired, stick to 'thaka hua.'

सैनिक युद्ध के बाद क्लांत होकर भूमि पर गिर पड़ा। (The soldier fell to the ground, weary after the war.)

While you might not hear क्लांत (klānta) at a vegetable market or during a casual cricket match, it is a staple in specific environments. Understanding these contexts will help you recognize the word and use it appropriately without sounding out of place.

Literature and Novels: Hindi literature is rich with descriptions of human suffering and perseverance. Authors use क्लांत to paint a vivid picture of a character's internal and external state. If you read a Hindi novel, you will likely encounter it in chapters where a protagonist is facing great odds.
News and Documentaries: Serious journalism uses higher-register Hindi. A news report on labor conditions or a documentary about the migration of workers will use क्लांत to evoke empathy and underscore the severity of the situation.

कवि ने अपनी कविता में क्लांत मन की व्यथा का वर्णन किया है। (The poet has described the agony of a weary mind in his poem.)

In Bollywood, you will find this word in the lyrics of soulful, melancholic, or 'Sufi' influenced songs. Songwriters often choose क्लांत over 'thaka' because it has a softer, more phonetic flow that fits better with classical or semi-classical melodies. It adds a layer of 'dard' (pain) or 'tadap' (longing) that simple words cannot achieve.

समाचार वाचक ने क्लांत मज़दूरों की स्थिति पर चर्चा की। (The news anchor discussed the condition of the weary laborers.)

Even for native speakers, the nuances of high-vocabulary words like क्लांत (klānta) can sometimes lead to misuse. For a learner, being aware of these pitfalls is key to sounding natural.

Misuse in Casual Conversation: The most common mistake is using क्लांत when you just mean you're a bit sleepy. If you tell a friend 'Main bahut klaant hoon' because you stayed up late watching a movie, it sounds like you're speaking from a 19th-century drama. Stick to 'thaka hua' for daily life.
Confusing with 'Shant': To the untrained ear, क्लांत (klānta) might sound slightly like शांत (shānt), which means 'quiet' or 'peaceful.' However, the two states are very different. While a weary person might be quiet, 'shant' is a positive or neutral state, whereas क्लांत usually implies a negative state of depletion.

Incorrect: मैं थोड़ा क्लांत हूँ, चलो चाय पीते हैं। (Sounds too formal for tea time.)
Correct: मैं थोड़ा थका हुआ हूँ, चलो चाय पीते हैं।

Another mistake is spelling and pronunciation. The 'kl' sound is a conjunct consonant (samyukt akshar). Some learners might accidentally separate them and say 'kalānt,' which is incorrect. It should be a crisp 'kl' sound, similar to 'clean' in English but with the Hindi 'a' sound.

Hindi has a spectrum of words for tiredness. Choosing the right one depends on the level of fatigue and the context of the situation.

थका हुआ (Thaka hua): The standard, all-purpose word for 'tired.' Use this 90% of the time. It is neutral and works in all social settings.
श्रमिक / श्रमित (Shramit): Derived from 'shram' (labor). This specifically means tired from physical work or toil. It is also a formal word.
पस्त (Past): An Urdu-origin word meaning 'defeated' or 'exhausted.' It is often used in the phrase 'himmat past hona' (to lose courage/strength). It implies you are so tired you can't go on.

वह मानसिक रूप से क्लांत महसूस कर रहा था। (He was feeling mentally weary.)

When comparing क्लांत to its antonyms, think of words like प्रफुल्लित (praphullit - joyful/blooming) or ऊर्जस्वित (urjasvit - energetic). While क्लांत is the closing of a flower at the end of a long day, प्रफुल्लित is the opening of a flower at dawn. Understanding these opposites helps solidify the meaning of the word in your mental map of the Hindi language.

How Formal Is It?

재미있는 사실

The root 'klām' is also related to the concept of 'fading' in nature. So, a 'klaant' person is metaphorically like a flower that has wilted under the sun.

Adjective Agreement

While 'klaant' is mostly invariable, in high Sanskritized Hindi, it could become 'klaantaa' for females, though rare now.

Conjunct Consonants

The 'kl' in 'klaant' is a 'Samyukt Akshar'. The half 'k' must be pronounced quickly.

Tatsama Usage

Tatsama words like 'klaant' are used with other Tatsama words (e.g., 'atyant klaant') rather than Tadbhava words.

Predicative Adjectives

When 'klaant' follows the noun (e.g., 'Vah klaant hai'), it functions as a complement to the verb.

Intensifiers

Use 'atyant' or 'purnatah' for formal intensification instead of just 'bahut'.

어원

The word 'क्लांत' is derived from the Sanskrit word 'क्लान्त' (klānta). It is the past participle of the root 'क्लाम्' (klām), which means 'to be weary,' 'to fade,' or 'to wither.'

원래 의미: Originally, it referred to something that had lost its freshness or vitality, like a withered flower or a fatigued person.

Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit -> Hindi).

문화적 맥락

There are no major sensitivities, but using it for someone who is just lazy might be seen as sarcastic because the word usually implies honest exhaustion from effort.

English speakers might find 'klaant' similar to 'weary' or 'laden'. It lacks the casual vibe of 'beat' or 'pooped'.

Used in Harivansh Rai Bachchan's poetry to describe the journey of life. Common in the 'Ramayana' to describe the state of the brothers during their exile. Found in the lyrics of A.R. Rahman's more soulful Hindi compositions.

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

Rarely. It is a formal and literary word. In daily life, Hindi speakers use 'थका हुआ' (thaka hua). Using 'क्लांत' with friends might make you sound like a character from a movie or a book.

Yes, but it sounds very poetic. For example, 'क्लांत बच्चा सो गया' (The weary child fell asleep) sounds like a line from a storybook. In real life, you'd say 'Bachcha thak gaya hai'.

In modern Hindi, it is generally treated as an invariable adjective. So, you can say 'Vah (male) klaant hai' and 'Vah (female) klaant hai'. Some very formal Sanskrit contexts might use 'klaantaa' for females, but this is not common in standard Hindi.

'Thaka' is basic tiredness. 'Klaant' is deep, visible, or soulful weariness. Think of 'thaka' as 'tired' and 'klaant' as 'weary' or 'fatigued'.

It is a conjunct. You start the 'k' sound but immediately move into the 'l' without a vowel in between. It sounds like the 'cl' in 'cloud'.

No, they are completely unrelated. 'Klaant' comes from the root for fatigue, while 'Kalank' comes from a root meaning a spot or mark.

Yes, metaphorically. You can say 'क्लांत शाम' (a weary evening) or 'क्लांत सभ्यता' (a weary civilization) in poetic writing.

The most common opposites are 'ताज़ा' (taza - fresh) or 'ऊर्जस्वित' (urjasvit - energetic).

No, it is a Sanskrit (Tatsama) word. The Urdu equivalent would be something like 'farsuda' or 'manda'.

Not directly. If you are 'weary' of something because it's boring, you can say 'Main isse klaant hoon', but 'ub gaya hoon' (bored) is more common.
