खारिज करना

You use खारिज करना when you want to formally reject something. This could be a proposal, a complaint, an application, or even a suggestion. It's often used in official settings like courts, government offices, or businesses. You can also use it in everyday life, but it sounds a bit serious. The key is that the rejection is firm and often based on rules or logic. You're not just disagreeing; you're invalidating it. It’s like when your favorite show gets cancelled – the network खारिज कर दिया (khārij kar diyā) the renewal. Sad, but that's the phrase!

• A company might खारिज करना (khārij karnā) a job application.
• A court can खारिज करना (khārij karnā) a lawsuit.
• A boss might खारिज करना (khārij karnā) an employee's request for leave.
• You could tell a friend you खारिज कर दिया (khārij kar diyā) their crazy business idea.
• The government might खारिज करना (khārij karnā) a new development project.

Use खारिज करना when you need to show a strong, official rejection. It's perfect for formal situations. Think of a manager rejecting a project proposal. Or a landlord rejecting a tenant's application. Use it when the reason for rejection is clear and justifiable. It’s also good when you want to sound decisive and authoritative. If you're reviewing documents, this phrase fits right in. It signals that something is officially deemed unacceptable. It's like a bouncer saying 'you're not coming in.'

Avoid खारिज करना for casual disagreements with friends. Saying you खारिज कर दिया (khārij kar diyā) your friend's movie choice sounds way too harsh. Don't use it for minor rejections or simple 'no's. It's too strong for everyday stuff like rejecting a song on a playlist. If you're just politely declining an invitation, this isn't the phrase. It’s also not for emotional rejections, like breaking up. That needs softer words. Think of it as a formal 'you shall not pass!' — not for everyday chit-chat.

Learners often use it in casual settings where it sounds overly aggressive. Or they might confuse it with simply disagreeing. It's more than just saying 'I don't like it.' It implies a formal rejection.

✗ I खारिज किया your idea. (Too harsh for friends)

✓ I reject किया your idea. (More neutral, still a bit formal)

✓ I didn't like your idea. (Casual disagreement)

✗ The proposal was खारिज by the committee. (Grammatically awkward, needs 'karna')

✓ The proposal was खारिज कर दिया गया by the committee. (Correct passive voice)

• अस्वीकार करना (asvīkār karnā): This also means to reject or refuse. It's very similar but can sometimes feel slightly less formal or official than खारिज करना. It’s a good general-purpose rejection word.
• नामंज़ूर करना (nāmanzūr karnā): This means to disapprove or reject, often used for official sanctions or approvals. Like a government rejecting a plan.
• रद्द करना (radd karnā): This means to cancel. It’s used for things that were planned or active, like cancelling an event or an order. It’s not exactly rejection, but it ends something.
• इनकार करना (inkār karnā): This means to deny or refuse. It's often a personal refusal, like refusing to do something. It’s less about invalidating something and more about personal unwillingness.

The phrase is usually used as खारिज करना. The past tense is खारिज किया (khārij kiyā) or खारिज कर दिया (khārij kar diyā). The passive voice is खारिज कर दिया गया (khārij kar diyā gayā) – meaning 'was rejected'. You might hear it shortened in very informal contexts, but it loses its official punch. Sticking to the full phrase is usually best for clarity. It’s like calling your friend by their full name when you’re serious.
