설명 ज़ख़्म in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should understand 'Zakhm' as a basic word for a 'cut' or 'wound'. It is a masculine noun. You might see it in simple sentences about health or accidents. For example, if a child falls, they might have a 'zakhm' on their knee. At this stage, just focus on the physical meaning and the fact that it is something that needs a bandage or medicine. You should know that 'Zakhm' is masculine, so we say 'bada zakhm' (big wound) and not 'badi zakhm'. It is a useful word for basic communication in a pharmacy or a doctor's office. You don't need to worry about the metaphorical or poetic meanings yet. Just remember that it usually involves blood or a break in the skin. Pronunciation is key: try to make a 'z' sound like in 'zebra', not a 'j' sound like in 'jam'.

At the A2 level, you can start using 'Zakhm' in more descriptive sentences. You should be able to describe how the wound happened and its current state. For instance, 'I got a wound from a knife' (Chaku se zakhm laga). You should also learn common verbs that go with it, like 'zakhm bharna' (to heal) and 'zakhm par patti bandhna' (to tie a bandage). You will start to notice this word in simple news headlines or stories. You should be comfortable with the plural form in basic sentences, like 'mere haath par do zakhm hain' (there are two wounds on my hand). This level is about connecting the word to daily actions and basic healthcare descriptions. You are beginning to see the difference between a simple 'chot' (injury) and a 'zakhm' (open wound).

At the B1 level, you should be able to use 'Zakhm' metaphorically. This is where you understand sentences like 'Time heals all wounds' (Samay har zakhm bhar deta hai). You can use it to talk about feelings, like the pain of a friendship ending. You should also be aware of the 'nuqta' in writing and the Persian origin of the word. At this stage, you can distinguish between 'Zakhm' and 'Ghaav' (its Sanskrit synonym), knowing that 'Zakhm' is more common in songs and conversation. You can form more complex sentences using postpositions, like 'Zakhmon ki wajah se' (because of the wounds). Your ability to use the word in different contexts—medical, personal, and slightly abstract—should be developing well.

At the B2 level, you should have a firm grasp of the idiomatic uses of 'Zakhm'. Phrases like 'zakhmon par namak chidkana' (to rub salt in wounds) should be part of your active or at least passive vocabulary. You can understand more complex literature and news reports where 'Zakhm' is used to describe societal issues or historical traumas. You should be able to use the word with a variety of sophisticated adjectives like 'nasoor' (a non-healing wound/canker) or 'jaanleva' (deadly). Your understanding of the word should include its nuances in Urdu-Hindi poetry (Shayari), where it is a central theme. You can participate in discussions about health or emotional well-being using this word fluently and correctly with its masculine gender.

At the C1 level, you are exploring the philosophical and deeply literary applications of 'Zakhm'. You can analyze how different authors use the word to symbolize different aspects of the human condition. You understand the historical weight the word carries in the context of the Partition of India or other major events often described in literature as 'unhealing wounds'. You can use the word in formal debates, academic writing, or creative storytelling with perfect grammatical precision. You are also aware of the subtle differences in tone when 'Zakhm' is used versus more formal Sanskrit terms like 'Aaghaat'. Your vocabulary around this word is extensive, including related terms for healing, scarring, and the psychological impact of trauma.

At the C2 level, you possess a native-like intuition for the word 'Zakhm'. You can appreciate the finest nuances in classical poetry where 'Zakhm' might be used to describe the 'wound of the soul' in a mystical sense (Sufi influence). You can use the word to express complex, multi-layered ideas in high-level discourse. You are a master of its idiomatic expressions and can even play with the word in puns or sophisticated metaphors. Your pronunciation is perfect, maintaining the subtle Persian 'Z' sound. You can switch between registers—from the clinical precision of a surgeon to the evocative passion of a poet—using 'Zakhm' and its synonyms with absolute ease and cultural awareness.

ज़ख़्म 30초 만에

Zakhm is a masculine noun meaning physical wound or emotional injury.
It comes from Persian and is used in both medical and poetic contexts.
Commonly paired with 'bharna' (to heal) and 'gehra' (deep).
It is more intense and specific than the general word 'chot'.

The Hindi word ज़ख़्म (Zakhm) is a loanword from Persian that has become deeply integrated into the Hindi and Urdu languages. At its most literal level, it refers to a physical injury, a cut, or a wound on the body. However, its usage extends far beyond the medical clinic. In the rich tapestry of Indian literature, music, and daily conversation, ज़ख़्म is frequently used metaphorically to describe emotional pain, heartache, or psychological trauma. Understanding this word requires an appreciation for both its biological and its poetic dimensions. While a doctor might examine a physical ज़ख़्म on a patient's arm, a poet might write about a ज़ख़्म on the soul caused by betrayal. This duality makes it a versatile and essential word for any learner.

Literal Usage: Used for cuts, gashes, or surgical incisions. For example, 'The wound is deep' translates to 'ज़ख़्म गहरा है'.

Metaphorical Usage: Used for emotional suffering. For example, 'Time heals all wounds' is often translated as 'वक़्त हर ज़ख़्म को भर देता है'.

साइकिल से गिरने पर मेरे घुटने में एक गहरा ज़ख़्म हो गया। (I got a deep wound on my knee after falling from the bicycle.)

In daily life, you will hear this word in hospitals, news reports about accidents, and very commonly in Bollywood songs. The word carries a certain weight and gravity that the more common Hindi word 'चोट' (chot) sometimes lacks. While 'chot' can refer to a minor bump or bruise, ज़ख़्म usually implies something that has broken the skin or caused significant distress.

पुराने ज़ख़्म फिर से ताज़ा हो गए। (The old wounds have become fresh again—often used for memories.)

Grammatical Note: It is a masculine noun. Therefore, adjectives and verbs must agree with its masculine gender. For example, 'gehra' (deep) instead of 'gehri'.

डॉक्टर ने उसके ज़ख़्म पर पट्टी बाँधी। (The doctor tied a bandage on his wound.)

धोखे का ज़ख़्म आसानी से नहीं भरता। (The wound of betrayal does not heal easily.)

युद्ध के ज़ख़्म अभी भी हरे हैं। (The wounds of war are still green/fresh.)

Overall, ज़ख़्म is a powerful noun that bridges the gap between physical reality and emotional expression. It is one of those words that allows a speaker to convey depth and intensity.

Using ज़ख़्म (Zakhm) correctly involves understanding its collocation with specific verbs. In Hindi, nouns often pair with 'doing' or 'becoming' verbs to create meaning. For 'Zakhm', the most common verbs are 'dena' (to give/inflict), 'khana' (to receive/get - literally 'to eat'), 'bharna' (to heal/fill), and 'lagna' (to get hit/occur). When you want to say someone was wounded, you might say 'unhe zakhm laga' or 'unhe zakhm hua'. When talking about the healing process, you use 'zakhm bharna'. This section will explore these patterns in detail to help you sound more like a native speaker.

Common Verb: Dena (To Give): Used when someone causes an injury. 'उसने मुझे बहुत गहरा ज़ख़्म दिया' (He gave me a very deep wound).

Common Verb: Bharna (To Heal): Used for the recovery process. 'धीरे-धीरे ज़ख़्म भर रहा है' (Slowly the wound is healing).

मेरे पैर का ज़ख़्म अभी तक भरा नहीं है। (The wound on my leg hasn't healed yet.)

It is also important to note the plural form. In the direct case, the plural remains ज़ख़्म, but in the oblique case (when followed by a postposition like 'mein', 'par', 'ko'), it becomes 'ज़ख़्मों' (zakhmon). For example, 'ज़ख़्मों पर नमक' (salt on the wounds). This is a very common idiom in Hindi.

उसके शरीर पर कई ज़ख़्म थे। (There were many wounds on his body.)

Adjective Agreement: Since it is masculine, use: Gehra (deep), Purana (old), Taaza (fresh), Chota (small), Bada (big).

यह एक ज़ख़्म है, खरोंच नहीं। (This is a wound, not a scratch.)

क्या तुम मेरे ज़ख़्म को साफ कर सकते हो? (Can you clean my wound?)

समय के साथ ज़ख़्म भर जाते हैं। (Wounds heal with time.)

In summary, focus on the gender agreement and the specific verbs that accompany the noun. Whether you are describing a physical injury or an emotional one, the sentence structure remains largely consistent, providing a reliable framework for learners.

The word ज़ख़्म (Zakhm) is ubiquitous in Hindi-speaking environments, but the tone varies significantly depending on the setting. In a medical or clinical setting, such as a hospital (aspataal), you will hear doctors and nurses use it in a very literal, matter-of-fact way. They might discuss the 'infection' in a ज़ख़्म or the need for 'taanke' (stitches). In this context, it is a technical term used for diagnosis and treatment. However, step into a cinema hall or listen to a radio station playing 'Ghazals' or 'Shayari', and the word takes on a romanticized, melancholic hue. Here, it represents the pain of unrequited love or the scars of the past.

In News and Media: News anchors use it when reporting on accidents or conflicts. 'धमाके में कई लोग ज़ख़्मी हुए' (Many people were wounded in the blast).

In Poetry (Shayari): Poets like Ghalib or Gulzar use 'Zakhm' to describe the beauty and pain of life. It is often paired with 'marham' (ointment/balm).

अखबार में लिखा था कि चोर के शरीर पर ज़ख़्म के निशान थे। (It was written in the newspaper that there were wound marks on the thief's body.)

In daily life, you might hear a mother telling her child not to touch a ज़ख़्म because it might get infected. Or you might hear a friend consoling another after a breakup, saying that 'dil ke zakhm' take time to heal. It is also found in legal documents when describing injuries sustained during a crime. The word's presence in both high literature and gritty reality makes it a perfect example of how Hindi absorbs and utilizes Persian vocabulary.

फिल्म के अंत में हीरो अपने ज़ख़्म दिखाता है। (At the end of the movie, the hero shows his wounds.)

In Sports: Commentators might use it for a player who is playing despite an injury. 'ज़ख़्मी होने के बावजूद खिलाड़ी मैदान पर डटा रहा' (Despite being injured, the player stayed on the field).

तुम्हारे ज़ख़्म से खून बह रहा है। (Blood is flowing from your wound.)

क्या इस ज़ख़्म के लिए ऑपरेशन की ज़रूरत है? (Is surgery needed for this wound?)

Whether you are reading a classic novel, watching the evening news, or listening to a soulful song, ज़ख़्म is a word that will frequently appear, each time carrying a specific emotional or descriptive weight.

For learners of Hindi, the word ज़ख़्म (Zakhm) presents a few common pitfalls, ranging from pronunciation to grammar. The most frequent mistake is the pronunciation of the first letter 'ज़' (Za). Many beginners, and even some native speakers from certain regions, pronounce it as 'ज' (Ja), making it sound like 'Jakhm'. While this might be understood, the correct Persianized pronunciation involves a buzzing 'Z' sound. Another common error is regarding the gender of the word. In Hindi, nouns are either masculine or feminine, and 'Zakhm' is masculine. Learners often mistakenly treat it as feminine, especially if they are translating from a language where 'wound' is feminine.

Mistake 1: Pronunciation: Saying 'Jakhm' instead of 'Zakhm'. Focus on the 'nuqta' (the dot) which indicates the 'Z' sound.

Mistake 2: Gender Confusion: Using feminine adjectives like 'Gehri' or 'Purani'. Correct: 'Gehra Zakhm', 'Purana Zakhm'.

Incorrect: यह ज़ख़्म बहुत गहरी है। (This wound is very deep - using feminine adjective).

Another area of confusion is the distinction between ज़ख़्म and 'चोट' (chot). While they are related, they are not always interchangeable. 'Chot' is a general term for injury, including bruises and internal pain, while 'Zakhm' specifically refers to an open wound or a deep emotional scar. Using 'Zakhm' for a minor stubbed toe might sound overly dramatic to a native speaker.

Correct: मेरे ज़ख़्म पर दवाई लगाओ। (Apply medicine on my wound.)

Mistake 3: Pluralization: Forgetting the oblique plural 'Zakhmon' when using prepositions. Incorrect: 'Zakhm par namak'. Correct: 'Zakhmon par namak'.

सावधान! ज़ख़्म को गंदे हाथों से मत छुओ। (Careful! Don't touch the wound with dirty hands.)

उसका ज़ख़्म अभी भी कच्चा है। (His wound is still raw/fresh.)

Lastly, be careful with the verb 'bharna'. Remember that it can be both 'the wound heals' (zakhm bharta hai) and 'to fill/heal the wound' (zakhm bharna). Context usually clears this up, but it's good to be aware of the dual nature of the verb. By avoiding these common errors, you will communicate much more effectively and naturally in Hindi.

Hindi is a language rich in synonyms, often drawing from Sanskrit, Persian, and Arabic roots. ज़ख़्म (Zakhm) has several close relatives that you should know to expand your vocabulary and understand different registers of the language. The most common alternative is 'घाव' (Ghaav), which is of Sanskrit origin and is used almost identically to 'Zakhm' in literal contexts. However, 'Ghaav' is often perceived as slightly more formal or 'pure' Hindi (Shuddh Hindi), while 'Zakhm' is more common in conversational Hindi-Urdu (Hindustani).

घाव (Ghaav): The direct Sanskrit-derived synonym. Very common in technical or formal writing. 'घाव गहरा है' means the same as 'ज़ख़्म गहरा है'.

चोट (Chot): A more general term for injury. It includes bruises, sprains, and internal pain. 'मुझे चोट लगी' (I got hurt).

डॉक्टर ने कहा कि घाव को सूखने में समय लगेगा। (The doctor said the wound will take time to dry/heal.)

Other related words include 'आघात' (Aaghaat), which means a blow or trauma, often used in psychological or very formal contexts (e.g., 'mansik aaghaat' - mental trauma). Then there is 'पीड़ा' (Peeda) or 'दर्द' (Dard), which refer to the pain resulting from the ज़ख़्म. While 'Zakhm' is the physical or metaphorical entity, 'Dard' is the sensation you feel because of it.

मानसिक आघात से उबरना मुश्किल होता है। (It is difficult to recover from mental trauma.)

Register Differences: 'Zakhm' is very common in Bollywood lyrics; 'Ghaav' is common in textbooks; 'Chot' is common in playgrounds.

क्या तुम्हें कोई अंदरूनी चोट आई है? (Have you sustained any internal injury?)

उसका ज़ख़्म अब एक निशान बन गया है। (His wound has now become a scar.)

Understanding these nuances allows you to choose the right word for the right situation. If you are writing a poem, ज़ख़्म is your best friend. If you are reporting a clinical finding, 'Ghaav' might be more appropriate. If you just tripped and hurt your knee, 'Chot' is the most natural choice. Learning these synonyms helps you navigate the diverse linguistic landscape of Hindi with confidence.

팁

Master the Nuqta

Don't ignore the dot under the 'Z'. It changes the sound from 'J' to 'Z', which is essential for the correct Persian-origin pronunciation.

Gender Check

Always treat 'Zakhm' as masculine. This means saying 'Mera zakhm' and not 'Meri zakhm', regardless of your own gender.

Idiom Power

Learn the salt-on-wounds idiom early. It's a very common way to describe someone being mean in a difficult situation.

Bollywood Context

Listen for 'Zakhm' in sad Bollywood songs. It will help you understand the emotional weight the word carries.

The 'Kh' Sound

The 'kh' in Zakhm is aspirated and fricative. Practice making a raspy sound in the throat to get it right.

Don't Overuse

Don't use 'Zakhm' for a tiny scratch. It sounds a bit too dramatic. Use 'Kharonch' for small scratches.

Poetic Flair

If you are writing a story, use 'Zakhm' to describe a character's past trauma. It's a very evocative word.

News Reports

Watch Hindi news reports on accidents. You will hear 'zakhmi' (wounded) used as an adjective frequently.

Zakhm vs Ghaav

Remember that 'Zakhm' is Persian and 'Ghaav' is Sanskrit. This helps you understand the linguistic mix of Hindi.

Visual Link

Visualize a 'Z' shape being cut into something. That 'Z' is for 'Zakhm'.

시각적 연상

Imagine a deep red cut being covered by a white 'Marham' (ointment). The contrast between the 'Zakhm' and the 'Marham' helps remember both words.

어원

Borrowed from Persian 'zakhm'. The word has Indo-European roots, connected to the idea of striking or hitting.

원래 의미: A strike, a blow, or the resulting wound.

Indo-Iranian -> Persian -> Hindustani.

문화적 맥락

Be sensitive when using it metaphorically; it implies serious pain, not just a minor inconvenience.

Similar to how English uses 'wound' for both physical cuts and emotional trauma (e.g., 'a wounded ego').

Movie: 'Zakhm' (1998) starring Ajay Devgn. Song: 'Zakhm bharta nahi' from various Bollywood films. Poetry: Numerous couplets by Mirza Ghalib mentioning 'Zakhm'.

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

It is a masculine noun. You should use masculine adjectives like 'gehra' (deep) and 'purana' (old) with it. For example, 'Voh ek gehra zakhm hai'.

The 'Z' (ज़) is pronounced with a buzzing sound, like the 'z' in 'zoo'. It is not a 'J' sound. In Devanagari, this is indicated by a dot (nuqta) under the letter 'J' (ज).

Chot is a general word for any injury, including bruises or internal pain. Zakhm specifically refers to an open wound, a cut, or a deep metaphorical scar. Zakhm sounds more serious.

Yes, absolutely! Metaphorical usage is very common in Hindi. 'Dil ka zakhm' (wound of the heart) is a standard way to describe heartbreak.

In the direct case, the plural is also 'Zakhm'. However, in the oblique case (when followed by postpositions like 'par', 'mein', 'ko'), it becomes 'Zakhmon'.

The most common verb for healing is 'bharna'. You can say 'Zakhm bhar raha hai' (The wound is healing).

Neither is 'better', but they have different flavors. 'Ghaav' is more formal/Sanskritized. 'Zakhm' is more common in daily life, songs, and Urdu-influenced Hindi.

It is an idiom meaning 'to rub salt in the wounds'. It refers to making someone's existing pain or bad situation worse by being insensitive.

No, it is a noun. To use it as an action, you must combine it with a verb, like 'Zakhm dena' (to wound) or 'Zakhm hona' (to be wounded).

While doctors use it, they often prefer 'Ghaav' or more technical terms in official written reports. However, in conversation, 'Zakhm' is perfectly acceptable.
