It is a basic action verb. At this stage, focus on the simple present and past tenses: 'मैं पुकारता हूँ' (I call) and 'उसने पुकारा' (He called). It's helpful to remember that it involves using your voice loudly.

पुकारना 30초 만에

Vocalizing a name or shout to get attention.
Used for nicknames and addressing people specifically.
Implies distance, volume, or emotional urgency.
Transitive verb requiring an object in Hindi grammar.

The Hindi verb पुकारना (Pukārnā) is a multifaceted term primarily meaning 'to call out,' 'to shout a name,' or 'to summon.' Unlike the generic 'to speak' (बोलना) or 'to say' (कहना), पुकारना implies a certain level of volume, distance, or emotional urgency. It is the act of using one's voice to get someone's attention from a distance or to address them by a specific name or title. In a spiritual or poetic context, it often refers to a soul's cry for help or a devotee's call to the divine. Understanding this word requires recognizing that it focuses on the *vocal projection* of a name or a plea.

Literal Calling: The most common usage is simply shouting someone's name to get their attention across a room or a street. Example: 'उसने मुझे दूर से पुकारा' (He called me from afar).
Naming and Addressing: It is used when discussing what someone is 'called' or 'named,' especially regarding nicknames. Example: 'सब उसे प्यार से छोटू पुकारते हैं' (Everyone affectionately calls him Chhotu).
Summoning for Help: In times of distress, 'पुकारना' signifies a desperate cry for assistance or 'गुहार' (plea). Example: 'मदद के लिए पुकारना' (To call out for help).

माँ ने रसोई से बच्चों को खाने के लिए पुकारा। (Mother called the children from the kitchen for food.)

In literature, you will find this word used to describe the wind 'calling' or the heart 'calling' for a loved one. It carries a resonance that 'बोलना' lacks. When you use पुकारना, you are describing an action that breaks silence. Whether it is a formal summons in a courtly setting or a mother calling her child in a park, the essence remains the vocalization of an identity or a need. Culturally, in India, names are often seen as powerful, and to 'pukār' someone is to invoke their presence or essence. This is why in devotional songs (Bhajans), the devotee 'pukārs' the deity with various names.

भीड़ में किसी ने मेरा नाम पुकारा। (Someone called out my name in the crowd.)

Context: Spiritual: In Sufi and Bhakti traditions, the act of 'पुकार' is the ultimate form of prayer—a raw, vocalized yearning for the divine.

Using पुकारना correctly involves understanding its transitive nature. In Hindi grammar, it is a Sakarman Kriya (transitive verb), meaning it takes a direct object—the person or thing being called. When used in the past tense with a perfective aspect, the subject takes the 'ने' (ne) particle. For example, 'उसने मुझे पुकारा' (He called me). Here, 'उसने' is the subject with 'ne', and 'मुझे' is the object.

क्या तुम मुझे पुकार रहे हो? (Are you calling me?)

The verb can be conjugated in all tenses. In the continuous tense, it becomes 'पुकार रहा/रही/रहे'. In the future, 'पुकारूँगा/पुकारेगा'. It is also frequently used in the passive voice or in causative forms like 'पुकरवाना' (to have someone called), though that is less common than 'बुलवाना'. One interesting usage is in the context of 'nicknames.' In English, we say 'They call him Tiger.' In Hindi, this translates to 'वे उसे टाइगर कहकर पुकारते हैं' (They call him by saying 'Tiger').

Sentence Structure: Subject + Object + (Name) + पुकारना: Example: लोग उसे 'महात्मा' पुकारते थे। (People used to call him 'Mahatma'.)

दूर पहाड़ों से कोई मुझे पुकार रहा है। (Someone is calling me from the distant mountains.)

In complex sentences, 'पुकारना' can act as a participle. For instance, 'पुकारते हुए' (while calling). 'वह मेरा नाम पुकारते हुए भागा' (He ran while calling my name). It is also used in the abstract sense of a 'vocation' or 'calling,' though Hindi often uses 'बुलावा' or 'आह्वान' for more formal 'callings.' However, 'अंतरात्मा की पुकार' (The call of the inner soul) is a very common idiomatic expression used in moral and philosophical discussions.

You will encounter पुकारना in a variety of real-life and cultural settings across India. In a bustling Indian market, you might hear a vendor pukārning (calling out) the prices of vegetables to attract customers. In a household, a grandmother might pukār a grandchild who is playing too far away. However, its most evocative use is found in Bollywood and folk music.

'पुकारो, मेरा नाम लेकर पुकारो...' (Call out, call out using my name...) - A famous song sentiment.

In Cinema: There is even a famous movie titled 'Pukar' (The Call), which deals with themes of patriotism and duty—essentially the 'call' of the nation.
In Religious Gatherings: During 'Kirtans' or 'Satsangs,' the leader will often ask the crowd to 'Bhagwan ko pukarana' (Call out to God) with devotion.

In daily news, you might read 'विपक्ष ने सरकार को घेरा और इंसाफ के लिए पुकारा' (The opposition surrounded the government and called out for justice). In literature, particularly in the works of Premchand or modern poets, 'पुकारना' is used to symbolize the voice of the marginalized or the silent cry of the oppressed. It is a word that bridges the gap between a simple physical action and a deep emotional expression. If you are in a crowded Indian railway station and lose your companion, the act of shouting their name is 'पुकारना'.

The most frequent mistake learners make is confusing पुकारना (Pukārnā) with बुलाना (Bulānā). While both can be translated as 'to call' in English, their usage in Hindi is distinct. Bulānā usually implies an invitation or a request for someone to come to a location. Pukārnā is specifically about the vocalization of the name or the shout itself.

Incorrect Usage: 'मैंने उसे पार्टी में पुकारा।' (I called him in the party - sounds like you shouted his name at the party).
Correct Usage: 'मैंने उसे पार्टी में बुलाया।' (I invited/called him to the party).

Another mistake is using 'पुकारना' when you mean 'to phone' someone. In modern Hindi, 'to call someone on the phone' is 'फोन करना' (phone karnā) or 'कॉल करना' (call karnā). Using 'पुकारना' in this context would sound very strange, as if you are shouting into the phone or shouting for the phone itself.

गलती: 'उसने मुझे फोन पर पुकारा।' (Wrong: He shouted my name on the phone.)
सही: 'उसने मुझे फोन किया।' (Right: He called me on the phone.)

Learners also sometimes forget the 'ne' particle in the past tense. Since 'पुकारना' is transitive, you must say 'उसने पुकारा' (He called) rather than 'वह पुकारा'. Lastly, avoid using it for 'to say' (कहना). If you want to say 'He said my name,' use 'उसने मेरा नाम लिया' (He took my name) or 'उसने मेरा नाम बोला'. 'पुकारना' implies he shouted it or addressed you by it loudly.

Hindi offers several synonyms and related terms for पुकारना, each with a slightly different nuance. Choosing the right one depends on the level of formality and the specific action you are describing.

आवाज़ देना (Āvāz denā): Literally 'to give voice.' This is the most common colloquial alternative to 'पुकारना' when you want to get someone's attention. 'उसे आवाज़ दो' (Give him a call/shout).
बुलाना (Bulānā): To call or invite. Focuses on the destination of the person being called (they should come to you).
आह्वान करना (Āhvān karnā): A formal/Sanskritized term meaning 'to invoke' or 'to summon.' Used for gods, spirits, or calling a meeting/strike.
चिल्लाना (Chillānā): To scream or shout. Unlike 'पुकारना', this doesn't necessarily involve a name or a message; it could just be a loud noise.

तुलना: 'पुकारना' (vocalizing a name) vs 'आवाज़ देना' (shouting to get attention) vs 'बुलाना' (asking to come).

In poetry, you might see टेरना (Ṭernā), which is a dialectal or archaic version of calling out loudly. In legal or administrative contexts, तलब करना (Talab karnā) is used for 'summoning' someone to court. Understanding these alternatives helps in fine-tuning your Hindi expression. For instance, if you are calling a waiter, 'आवाज़ देना' is more natural than 'पुकारना'. If you are naming a child, 'पुकारना' is appropriate.

어원

Derived from the Sanskrit root 'पुक्कार' (pukkāra), which means a shout or a cry. It has evolved through Prakrit into modern Hindi.

원래 의미: To make a loud sound or to shout out.

Indo-Aryan

문화적 맥락

Calling someone by a disrespectful nickname (pukārū nām) can be offensive; always ensure the name used is appropriate for the relationship.

In English, 'to call' covers both phoning and shouting. In Hindi, 'pukārnā' is strictly for the vocal act, not for using a telephone.

Movie: 'Pukar' (2000) starring Anil Kapoor. Song: 'Pukaro mera naam lekar pukaro' from the film Anupama. Poetry: Numerous verses by Kabir and Meera mention 'pukār' to the divine.

No, for phone calls use 'फोन करना' or 'कॉल करना'. 'पुकारना' is strictly for vocal shouting or addressing.

'आवाज़ देना' is more colloquial and common in daily life (e.g., calling someone in the next room). 'पुकारना' is slightly more formal or poetic.

Yes, because it is a transitive verb (e.g., 'मैंने पुकारा', 'उसने पुकारा').

You say: 'लोग आपको क्या पुकारते हैं?' or 'लोग आपको किस नाम से पुकारते हैं?'

In a way, yes. 'ईश्वर को पुकारना' means to call out to God in prayer or distress.

It is not usually a person's name, but it is a very common title for movies, books, and poems.

It means 'nickname'—the name people use to 'call' you at home.

Yes, if you are shouting their name to call them (e.g., 'मैंने अपने कुत्ते को पुकारा').

Both are correct. 'मुझे' is the contracted form of 'मुझको'.

There is no direct single-word opposite, but 'मौन रहना' (staying silent) or 'अनसुना करना' (ignoring a call) are contextual opposites.
