When using ख़ाली to describe something as 'empty' or 'vacant', it's quite straightforward. For instance, if you want to say 'the box is empty', you would say डिब्बा ख़ाली है (ḍibbā ḵẖālī hai). It can also describe a vacant seat, like यह कुर्सी ख़ाली है (yah kursī ḵẖālī hai), meaning 'this seat is vacant'.
Beyond physical emptiness, ख़ाली can refer to being free or having spare time. If someone asks if you are free, they might say क्या आप ख़ाली हैं? (kyā āp ḵẖālī haiṁ?). This flexibility makes it a very useful word in everyday conversation. Pay attention to the context to understand if it refers to an empty space or free time.
발음 가이드
- pronouncing 'ख़' as 'k' instead of a voiceless velar fricative
- not lengthening the 'aa' sound
