खीझ
खीझ 30초 만에
- Khījh is a feminine noun meaning annoyance or exasperation.
- It is less intense than anger (gussā) and often more internal.
- Commonly used with verbs like 'honā' (to happen) and 'ānā' (to come).
- It is a key word for describing daily frustrations in Hindi.
The Hindi word खीझ (Khījh) is a nuanced feminine noun that captures a specific spectrum of human emotion ranging from mild irritation to deep, suppressed exasperation. Unlike 'Gussa' (anger), which is often explosive and externalized, khījh is frequently internal, reflecting a state of being 'fed up' or 'piqued' by repetitive, annoying, or unsuccessful actions. It is the feeling you get when you can't find your keys for the third time in a morning, or when a slow internet connection interrupts an important meeting. In the tapestry of Hindi emotions, it sits comfortably between chirchirāhaṭ (irritability) and jhunjhlāhaṭ (frustration). Understanding khījh is essential for learners because it describes the everyday friction of life that isn't quite 'anger' but is certainly not 'peace.'
- Grammatical Gender
- Feminine. It is used with feminine verbs like 'हो रही है' (is happening) or 'निकल रही है' (is coming out).
- Emotional Intensity
- Low to Medium. It denotes a prickling sense of annoyance rather than a violent outburst.
बार-बार एक ही सवाल सुनकर मुझे खीझ होने लगी। (I started feeling annoyed hearing the same question over and over.)
Culturally, khījh is often depicted in Indian literature and cinema as the reaction of a protagonist facing bureaucratic hurdles or the persistent nagging of a relative. It is a very 'human' emotion that connects the speaker to the listener through a shared understanding of life's minor inconveniences. When you use this word, you are communicating that your patience is wearing thin, but you are still maintaining a level of social decorum. It is less confrontational than saying you are 'angry,' making it a useful word in professional or semi-formal settings where expressing full-blown anger might be inappropriate.
उसकी बातों में छिपी खीझ साफ़ दिख रही थी। (The annoyance hidden in his words was clearly visible.)
- Common Verb Pairings
- खीझ होना (to feel annoyance), खीझ निकालना (to vent annoyance), खीझ उठना (to feel a sudden surge of annoyance).
In modern urban Hindi, this word is frequently used in the context of traffic, technology, and social interactions. For example, if someone keeps interrupting you while you are trying to work, the emotion you feel is khījh. It is also a common reaction to one's own mistakes. If you drop your phone for the second time in a day, the sound you make—a sharp exhale or a tsk—is the vocalization of khījh. It is a word of self-reflection and observation of others' temperaments.
अपनी असफलता पर उसे खुद से खीझ हुई। (He felt exasperated with himself over his failure.)
Using खीझ (Khījh) correctly requires an understanding of its role as a noun. Because it is a feminine noun, any adjectives or verbs modifying it must agree with its gender. For instance, you would say 'बड़ी खीझ' (big annoyance) rather than 'बड़ा खीझ'. It is most commonly paired with the auxiliary verbs 'होना' (to be/happen) and 'आना' (to come). When you say 'मुझे खीझ आ रही है' (literally: To me, annoyance is coming), you are expressing that you are currently being annoyed by something external.
- Sentence Structure 1: Subject + को + खीझ + होना/आना
- This is the most common way to express the feeling. 'राम को खीझ हुई' (Ram felt annoyed).
ट्रैफिक जाम की वजह से ड्राइवर को खीझ आ रही थी। (The driver was feeling annoyed because of the traffic jam.)
Another sophisticated use of the word involves the construction 'खीझ निकालना' (to vent annoyance). This is used when someone is already annoyed and they take it out on someone or something else. For example, if a boss is annoyed at work and comes home to shout at the kids, we say 'वह बच्चों पर अपनी खीझ निकाल रहा है'. This highlights the transitive nature of the emotion—how it can be transferred from one situation to another. It is a very descriptive way to talk about human behavior and displacement of emotions.
उसने अपनी सारी खीझ उस बेचारे क्लर्क पर निकाल दी। (He vented all his exasperation on that poor clerk.)
In more literary or formal Hindi, khījh can be used to describe an atmosphere. A room can be filled with khījh if everyone is tired and irritable. Authors use it to set a tone of restlessness. For example, 'कमरे में एक अजीब सी खीझ फैली हुई थी' (A strange kind of annoyance was spread in the room). This usage elevates the word from a personal feeling to a descriptive environmental quality. It helps the reader understand the tension in a scene without using the word 'tension' itself.
उसकी आवाज़ में खीझ का पुट था। (There was a tinge of annoyance in his voice.)
- Adjective Agreement
- Use 'थोड़ी' (a little), 'बहुत' (a lot), or 'असहनीय' (unbearable) with 'खीझ'. Example: 'असहनीय खीझ' (unbearable exasperation).
You will encounter खीझ (Khījh) in a variety of real-world contexts, from the mundane to the dramatic. In Indian households, it is perhaps most common during the morning rush. Parents might express khījh when children are slow to get ready for school. It’s the word used for that specific 'grumpiness' that comes from being hurried. If you listen to conversations in public transport, especially during peak hours in cities like Mumbai or Delhi, you will hear people using this word to describe their frustration with the crowd or delays. It is a word that validates the shared struggle of urban life.
ऑफिस की फाइलों का ढेर देखकर उसे खीझ होने लगती है। (Seeing the pile of office files, he starts feeling exasperated.)
In Hindi television serials (soap operas), khījh is a cornerstone emotion. It is used to depict the friction between a mother-in-law and a daughter-in-law, or between rival business partners. In these contexts, the word is often used in dialogue to describe someone's temperament. A character might say, 'वह हमेशा खीझ में रहता है' (He is always in a state of annoyance). This helps define a character as irritable or hard to please. In news debates, you might hear a moderator express khījh when participants talk over each other, often saying, 'मेरी खीझ को समझने की कोशिश करें' (Try to understand my frustration).
- News & Media
- Often used in editorials to describe public sentiment regarding policy delays or infrastructure issues.
In literature, especially in the works of Munshi Premchand or modern Hindi novelists like Krishna Sobti, khījh is used to explore the psychological depth of characters. It is used to show the slow erosion of patience in the face of poverty or social injustice. When a character cannot fight back against a larger system, their anger turns inward and becomes khījh. This makes it a powerful word for expressing the 'quiet desperation' of the human condition. In poetry, it might be used to describe the annoyance of a lover waiting for their beloved.
इंतज़ार की वह लंबी घड़ियाँ खीझ पैदा कर रही थीं। (Those long hours of waiting were creating annoyance.)
- Workplace Context
- Used when discussing 'burnout' or 'annoyance' with repetitive tasks or micromanagement.
One of the most common mistakes learners make is confusing खीझ (Khījh) with गुस्सा (Gussā). While they are related, they are not interchangeable. Gussā is anger—it is hot, outward-facing, and often aggressive. Khījh is annoyance—it is cooler, often inward-facing, and characterized by a loss of patience rather than a desire to attack. If you say 'मुझे तुम पर खीझ है' (I am annoyed at you), it sounds less severe than 'मुझे तुम पर गुस्सा है' (I am angry at you). Using the wrong one can change the emotional weight of your sentence significantly.
- Mistake 1: Gender Confusion
- Learners often treat 'खीझ' as masculine. Correct: 'उसकी खीझ' (Her annoyance). Incorrect: 'उसका खीझ'.
गलत: मुझे बहुत बड़ा खीझ हुआ। सही: मुझे बहुत बड़ी खीझ हुई।
Another mistake is confusing khījh with jalan (jealousy). Because both can involve a sense of bitterness, learners sometimes swap them. However, khījh never implies wanting what someone else has; it only implies being bothered by a situation or person. Additionally, be careful with the verb 'खीझना' (to be annoyed) versus the noun 'खीझ'. 'वह खीझ रहा है' (He is getting annoyed) is a verb usage, while 'उसकी खीझ बढ़ रही है' (His annoyance is increasing) is the noun usage. Mixing these up can lead to grammatically awkward sentences.
सावधान: 'खीझ' और 'चिड़चिड़ापन' में अंतर है। 'खीझ' एक भावना है, जबकि 'चिड़चिड़ापन' एक स्वभाव (trait) है।
- Mistake 2: Using with 'करना'
- We usually don't 'do' (karnā) annoyance; it 'happens' (honā) or 'comes' (ānā). Avoid 'मैंने खीझ की'.
Hindi has a rich vocabulary for negative emotions, and knowing the alternatives to खीझ (Khījh) will make your Hindi sound more natural and precise. The closest synonym is झुंझलाहट (Jhunjhlāhaṭ). While khījh is often a quiet annoyance, jhunjhlāhaṭ usually involves some outward sign of frustration, like muttering to oneself or making gestures. If khījh is the fire, jhunjhlāhaṭ is the smoke that others can see. Another similar word is चिड़चिड़ाहट (Chiṛchiṛāhaṭ), which refers more to a general state of irritability or crankiness.
- खीझ vs. झुंझलाहट
- 'खीझ' is more internal/mental; 'झुंझलाहट' is more expressive/physical frustration.
- खीझ vs. चिड़चिड़ाहट
- 'खीझ' is usually caused by a specific event; 'चिड़चिड़ाहट' is often a mood or personality trait.
उसे अपनी कमज़ोरी पर कुढ़न (Kuṛhan) होने लगी। (He started feeling a gnawing resentment/annoyance at his own weakness.)
For a more formal or literary alternative, you can use क्षोभ (Kṣobh). This word implies a deeper agitation or distress, often due to moral or social reasons. If you are 'annoyed' at a political scandal, kṣobh is the better word. On the other hand, if you want to sound very casual, you might just say 'परेशानी' (pareshānī - trouble/botheration), though it lacks the specific emotional 'sting' of khījh. Understanding these levels allows you to tailor your speech to the context and the intensity of your feeling.
- Antonyms
- संतोष (Satisfaction), धैर्य (Patience), प्रसन्नता (Happiness).

Summary
खीझ (Khījh) is the perfect word to describe that specific 'mental itch' of irritation. Example: 'मुझे उसकी बातों से खीझ हो रही है' (I am getting annoyed by his words). Remember it is feminine!
- Khījh is a feminine noun meaning annoyance or exasperation.
- It is less intense than anger (gussā) and often more internal.
- Commonly used with verbs like 'honā' (to happen) and 'ānā' (to come).
- It is a key word for describing daily frustrations in Hindi.
Gender Agreement
Always pair 'khījh' with feminine adjectives like 'thoṛī' or 'baṛī'. Never use 'baṛā' or 'thoṛā'.
Aspirated 'Jh'
Ensure you release a puff of air when saying the 'jh' at the end. It distinguishes the word from 'khīj'.
Use with 'ānā'
Using 'khījh ānā' sounds more natural than 'khījh honā' when describing a sudden feeling.
Suppressed Emotion
Use 'khījh' to describe frustration you are trying to hide. It's culturally more accurate than 'gussā'.
예시
उसकी हर बात में दखल देने की आदत से मुझे खीझ होती है।
