- धक्का दीजिए (Dhakka dijiye) - Please push (formal, to one person or to multiple people)
Example Sentences (Imperative):
Remember to match the verb ending with the gender and number of the subject. This is a crucial aspect of Hindi grammar. The object being pushed is usually preceded by the postposition 'को' (ko) if it's specific or animate, but often omitted for inanimate objects in simple sentences. However, when using "धक्का देना", the object of the push is often directly stated without 'को' if it's a general inanimate object. For example, 'दरवाज़े को धक्का देना' (push the door) or simply 'दरवाज़ा धक्का देना'. Context is key.
The phrase "धक्का देना" can also be used metaphorically. For instance, "उसे आगे बढ़ने के लिए धक्का देना" (use dhakka dena to push him forward) means to encourage or motivate someone. This metaphorical usage is also common and adds another layer to the phrase's utility.
Practice constructing sentences with different tenses and subjects to solidify your understanding. Try describing everyday actions you perform, like pushing a shopping cart or a swing. The more you actively use the verb, the more comfortable you will become with its conjugations and applications. Pay attention to how native speakers use it; this will provide invaluable insights into natural phrasing and common sentence structures. The verb "देना" is a workhorse in Hindi, and its combination with nouns like "धक्का" creates many essential verbs. Understanding this pattern will help you learn other similar verbs more easily.
1. Public Transportation:
When buses or trains are crowded, people might say, "थोड़ा आगे धक्का दो" (Thoda aage dhakka do - Push a little forward) or describe how they were pushed, "भीड़ ने मुझे धक्का दिया" (Bheed ne mujhe dhakka diya - The crowd pushed me). If a vehicle breaks down, someone might ask, "क्या कोई गाड़ी धक्का दे सकता है?" (Kya koi gaadi dhakka de sakta hai? - Can someone push the car?).
2. Household Chores and Moving Furniture:
When rearranging a room, you might hear, "यह सोफ़ा बहुत भारी है, हमें इसे धक्का देना पड़ेगा।" (Yeh sofa bahut bhaari hai, humein ise dhakka dena padega. - This sofa is very heavy, we will have to push it.) Or, "क्या तुम इस अलमारी को धक्का दे सकते हो?" (Kya tum is almaari ko dhakka de sakte ho? - Can you push this cupboard?).
3. Construction Sites and Manual Labor:
Workers might use it to coordinate moving heavy materials. "इस ईंट के ढेर को धक्का देना है।" (Is eent ke dher ko dhakka dena hai. - This pile of bricks needs to be pushed.)
4. Children Playing:
You'll hear parents or children saying things like, "अपने खिलौनों को धक्का दो" (Apne khilaunon ko dhakka do - Push your toys) or observing, "बच्चे झूले को धक्का दे रहे हैं।" (Bachche jhoole ko dhakka de rahe hain. - The children are pushing the swing.)
5. Marketplaces and Crowded Areas:
In busy bazaars, you might hear, "रास्ता दो, धक्का मत दो!" (Rasta do, dhakka mat do! - Make way, don't push!) or someone complaining, "मुझे ज़ोर से धक्का दिया गया।" (Mujhe zor se dhakka diya gaya. - I was pushed hard.)
6. Doors and Gates:
Simple instructions like "दरवाज़ा धक्का दो" (Darwaza dhakka do - Push the door) or "गेट को धक्का देना" (Gate ko dhakka dena - To push the gate) are very common.
7. Metaphorical Use:
While less frequent at the A1 level, you might hear it used figuratively, like "उसे नौकरी पाने के लिए धक्का देना पड़ रहा है।" (Use naukri paane ke liye dhakka dena pad raha hai. - He is being pushed to get a job, implying encouragement or pressure.)
8. Emergency Situations:
In situations where something needs to be moved quickly, like clearing a path or moving a stuck object, "धक्का देना" will be used.
9. Sports and Games:
In some physical games or sports, the act of pushing might be described using this phrase.
10. Everyday Interactions:
Any situation where one person or object needs to be moved by applying force. This could be anything from pushing a shopping cart to helping someone up.
Actively listening for this phrase in Hindi movies, TV shows, songs, or conversations will greatly enhance your comprehension. You'll start to notice its context and how it's used naturally by native speakers. It's a verb that truly reflects the physical interactions we have with our environment. The more you expose yourself to authentic Hindi content, the more you'll hear "धक्का देना" in its various forms and contexts, making it a familiar and easily recognizable part of your vocabulary.
The phrase is so common that it's often used without much thought, making it a perfect example of everyday Hindi. Whether it's a polite request or an urgent command, "धक्का देना" is the go-to verb for conveying the action of pushing. Its presence is ubiquitous in any environment where physical movement is involved.
1. Incorrect Verb Conjugation:
The most frequent error is using the wrong form of the verb based on tense, gender, or number. For example, a female speaker might incorrectly say "मैं धक्का देता हूँ" (main dhakka deta hoon) instead of "मैं धक्का देती हूँ" (main dhakka deti hoon). Or using the present tense form in a past tense situation: "कल मैंने धक्का देता" (kal maine dhakka deta) instead of "कल मैंने धक्का दिया" (kal maine dhakka diya).
Mistake: तुम धक्का देता है। (Tum dhakka deta hai.)
Correct: तुम धक्का देते हो। (Tum dhakka dete ho.)
2. Misplacing or Omitting 'को' (ko):
While "धक्का देना" can sometimes be used without 'को' before the object (especially inanimate ones), learners might be unsure when to use it. Sometimes it's used incorrectly, or omitted when it would sound more natural with it, especially with animate objects or specific contexts.
Mistake: मैंने भारी बक्से को धक्का दिया। (Maine bhaari bakse ko dhakka diya.) - This can be acceptable, but sometimes the 'को' might be omitted.
More Natural: मैंने भारी बक्सा धक्का दिया। (Maine bhaari baksa dhakka diya.) - For inanimate objects, direct object is common.
Mistake: मैंने उसे धक्का दिया। (Maine use dhakka diya.) - This is correct.
Incorrect: मैंने उसे को धक्का दिया। (Maine use ko dhakka diya.) - Adding 'को' after a pronoun like 'उसे' is redundant and incorrect.
3. Confusing 'धक्का देना' with Similar Verbs:
Sometimes learners might use "धक्का देना" when another verb would be more appropriate, or vice-versa. For instance, confusing it with verbs related to 'pulling' or 'lifting'.
Mistake: उसने दरवाज़े को खींचा। (Usne darwaze ko kheencha.) - This means 'pulled'. If the action was pushing, it should be 'धक्का दिया'.
4. Overuse or Underuse:
Beginners might overuse "धक्का देना" for any kind of forceful interaction, or conversely, avoid it altogether due to uncertainty.
Example of Overuse: Saying "मैंने उसे धक्का दिया" when a softer nudge was intended, and "ठोकर मारना" (thokar maarna - to nudge/tap) might have been more precise.
5. Literal Translation from English:
Directly translating English phrases can lead to unnatural Hindi. For example, trying to force an English sentence structure into Hindi.
English thought: "I need to give a push to this."
Literal Hindi attempt: "मुझे एक धक्का देना है।" (Mujhe ek dhakka dena hai.) - While grammatically possible, it might sound slightly less natural than simply saying "मुझे इसे धक्का देना है।" (Mujhe ise dhakka dena hai. - I need to push it.)
6. Incorrect Tense Usage for Continuous Actions:
Confusing simple past with past continuous or present simple with present continuous.
Mistake: कल मैं धक्का दिया। (Kal main dhakka diya.) - Implies a single past action.
Correct for ongoing action: कल मैं धक्का दे रहा था। (Kal main dhakka de raha tha.) - Yesterday I was pushing.
To avoid these mistakes, focus on:
- Practicing verb conjugations extensively.
- Listening to native speakers and noting how they use "धक्का देना" in different contexts.
- Learning the common patterns for direct and indirect objects.
- Understanding the subtle differences between "धक्का देना" and other related verbs.
Consistent practice and attention to detail will help you master this useful phrase.
1. धकेलना (Dhakelna):
This is a very close synonym to "धक्का देना" and is often used interchangeably. "धकेलना" also means "to push." It can sometimes imply a slightly more continuous or forceful push than "धक्का देना." It's a single verb form, making it potentially simpler for learners.
Usage: वह भारी दरवाज़े को धकेलता है। (Vah bhaari darwaze ko dhakelta hai.) - He pushes the heavy door.
Comparison: Both are widely understood. "धक्का देना" might feel slightly more colloquial in some contexts, while "धकेलना" is a direct verb form.
2. ठोकर मारना (Thokar Maarna):
This phrase literally means "to strike with a foot" or "to kick," but it's often used to mean "to nudge," "to tap," or "to give a slight push," usually with the foot or a light touch. It's less forceful than "धक्का देना."
Usage: उसने धीरे से गेंद को ठोकर मारी। (Usne dheere se gend ko thokar maari.) - He gently nudged the ball.
Comparison: "धक्का देना" is for a more substantial push. "ठोकर मारना" implies a light, often foot-initiated, tap or nudge.
3. आगे बढ़ाना (Aage Badhaana):
This means "to move forward" or "to advance." While not a direct synonym for "push," it can sometimes be used in contexts where pushing is the means to advance something. It's more about facilitating progress.
Usage: हमें इस प्रोजेक्ट को आगे बढ़ाना है। (Humein is project ko aage badhaana hai.) - We need to advance this project. (This could involve pushing it forward metaphorically or literally.)
Comparison: "धक्का देना" is the physical action; "आगे बढ़ाना" is the result or intention of progress.
4. उकसाना (Uksaana):
This means "to instigate," "to provoke," or "to incite." In a metaphorical sense, it can mean to "push" someone to do something, but it carries a negative connotation of urging someone to do something they shouldn't.
Usage: उसने मुझे झगड़ा करने के लिए उकसाया। (Usne mujhe jhagda karne ke liye uksaaya.) - He provoked me to fight.
Comparison: This is a metaphorical 'push' with a negative intent, unlike the physical or neutral encouragement of "धक्का देना."
5. प्रोत्साहित करना (Protsahit Karna):
This means "to encourage," "to motivate," or "to stimulate." This is the positive, metaphorical counterpart to "धक्का देना" when used for encouragement.
Usage: शिक्षक छात्रों को प्रोत्साहित करते हैं। (Shikshak chhatron ko protsahit karte hain.) - Teachers encourage students.
Comparison: This is a mental or emotional 'push' towards positive action, distinct from the physical "धक्का देना."
6. जोर लगाना (Zor Lagaana):
Literally "to apply force" or "to exert effort." This can be used in the context of pushing, but it's more general and refers to the effort itself rather than the specific action of pushing.
Usage: दरवाज़ा खोलने के लिए ज़ोर लगाओ। (Darwaza kholne ke liye zor lagao.) - Apply force to open the door. (This implies pushing or pulling with effort.)
Comparison: "धक्का देना" specifies the direction of the force (away from oneself). "ज़ोर लगाना" is broader.
7. सरकाना (Sarkaana):
This means "to slide," "to move sideways," or "to shift." If you push something to slide it, then "सरकाना" might be the more precise verb.
Usage: कृपया इस मेज़ को थोड़ा सरकाओ। (Kripya is mez ko thoda sarkao.) - Please slide this table a bit.
Comparison: "धक्का देना" is the general act of pushing; "सरकाना" describes the resulting sliding motion.
Key Takeaway:
While "धक्का देना" and "धकेलना" are almost interchangeable for the physical act of pushing, other words offer more specific nuances. "ठोकर मारना" is for nudging, "उकसाना" and "प्रोत्साहित करना" are for metaphorical pushes with different intentions, and "ज़ोर लगाना" and "सरकाना" describe the force or the resulting motion.
For CEFR A1 learners, focusing on "धक्का देना" and "धकेलना" is sufficient for understanding and expressing the basic concept of pushing.

어원
The word 'धक्का' (dhakka) is believed to have originated from the Sanskrit word 'धट्ट' (dhaṭṭa) or 'धट्टन' (dhaṭṭana), which also referred to a push or a jolt. The verb 'देना' (dena) means 'to give'. The combination 'धक्का देना' is a common Hindi construction where a noun is paired with 'देना' to form a verb phrase.
원래 의미: To give a push.
Indo-Aryan (Indo-European)문화적 맥락
While 'धक्का देना' can be used for aggressive actions, it's also used neutrally. Be mindful of the context when describing interactions between people to avoid implying aggression unless intended. Gentle nudges or helpful pushes are common and not considered offensive.
In English-speaking cultures, 'pushing' can sometimes carry a more negative connotation of aggression or unwanted advance, especially when referring to people. While Hindi also has this aspect, the word 'धक्का देना' is also used very neutrally for everyday actions like opening doors or moving furniture.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문Both 'धक्का देना' (dhakka dena) and 'धकेलना' (dhakelna) mean 'to push'. They are often used interchangeably in everyday Hindi. 'धक्का देना' is a compound verb formed from the noun 'धक्का' (push) and the verb 'देना' (to give). 'धकेलना' is a single, direct verb. While they are largely synonymous, 'धक्का देना' might sometimes feel slightly more colloquial or emphasize the act of 'giving' the push, whereas 'धकेलना' is a straightforward verb form. For beginners, learning either is sufficient to convey the meaning of 'pushing'.
You can say 'धक्का मत दो!' (Dhakka mat do!) in an informal context, or 'धक्का मत दीजिए!' (Dhakka mat dijiye!) in a formal context. The word 'मत' (mat) is used for negative commands in Hindi.
No, 'धक्का देना' can also be used metaphorically. For example, 'खुद को धक्का देना' (khud ko dhakka dena) means to push oneself to work harder or overcome challenges. 'किसी को आगे धक्का देना' (kisi ko aage dhakka dena) means to encourage someone to progress. The context will tell you whether it's a literal physical push or a figurative one.
The past tense form is typically 'धक्का दिया' (dhakka diya). The form of 'दिया' (diya) changes based on the gender and number of the subject. For example: मैंने धक्का दिया (Maine dhakka diya - I pushed, masculine/feminine), उसने धक्का दिया (Usne dhakka diya - He/She pushed), उन्होंने धक्का दिया (Unhone dhakka diya - They pushed).
The use of 'को' (ko) can be a bit nuanced. With inanimate objects, it's often omitted in simple sentences: 'मैंने बक्सा धक्का दिया' (Maine baksa dhakka diya - I pushed the box). However, with pronouns or animate objects, 'को' is usually used: 'मैंने उसे धक्का दिया' (Maine use dhakka diya - I pushed him/her). It's best to learn common patterns and pay attention to how native speakers use it.
The word is pronounced 'dhak-ka de-na'. The initial 'ध' (dh) is aspirated, meaning there's a puff of air, similar to the 'th' in 'thin' but with a 'd' sound. The stress is on the first syllable of 'धक्का' (DHAK-ka) and the first syllable of 'देना' (DE-na).
While 'धक्का देना' can range from a gentle nudge to a forceful shove, for a very light tap or nudge, especially with the foot, 'ठोकर मारना' (thokar maarna) is often a more precise term.
The direct opposite of 'धक्का देना' (to push) is 'खींचना' (kheenchna), which means 'to pull'.
Yes, 'धक्का देना' is a very common and frequently used verb in Hindi. You will hear it in many everyday situations, from moving objects to describing crowded spaces.
Yes, it can. A forceful push can be aggressive or unwelcome. The phrase 'धक्का मत दो!' (Don't push!) is a common way to stop someone from pushing you. Metaphorically, it can also imply negative pressure or coercion.
