चिंतित करना in 30 Seconds
- A transitive verb meaning to cause worry in someone else.
- Used in serious contexts like health, economy, and family matters.
- Requires conjugation of 'karna' and often the 'ne' particle in past tense.
- Distinct from 'chinta karna' (to worry) which is what the person feels.
The Hindi verb चिंतित करना (chintit karnā) is a transitive verb that literally translates to 'to make someone worried' or 'to cause anxiety.' In the spectrum of Hindi emotions, it sits firmly in the realm of external influence. While chinta karna means 'to worry' (an internal action one does themselves), chintit karna involves a subject causing that state in an object. This distinction is crucial for English speakers because in English, the word 'worry' can be both transitive ('You worry me') and intransitive ('I worry'). In Hindi, these roles are split between two different verbal constructions.
- Core Meaning
- The act of inducing a state of apprehension, nervousness, or concern in another person or a group of people.
You will encounter this word in a variety of contexts, ranging from casual family conversations to formal news broadcasts. For instance, a doctor might use it to describe a symptom that is causing concern, or a politician might use it to describe a rising economic trend that is worrying the public. It carries a weight of seriousness; it is not usually used for trivial annoyances (for which pareshan karna might be better), but rather for things that weigh on the mind and spirit.
आपकी लंबी खामोशी मुझे चिंतित कर रही है। (Your long silence is worrying me.)
In contemporary Hindi, the word is often used in social commentary. When journalists speak about climate change or economic inflation, they frequently use chintit karna to describe how these global issues affect the populace. It implies a deeper, more cognitive form of worry than simple fear; it is a worry born of thought (chinta).
- Cultural Nuance
- In Indian culture, where family bonds are tight, one's actions are often evaluated by how much they might 'chintit' their elders. It is a powerful emotional motivator in social ethics.
बढ़ती महंगाई मध्यम वर्ग को चिंतित कर रही है। (Rising inflation is worrying the middle class.)
Using चिंतित करना correctly requires an understanding of Hindi's causative structure. Because it is a compound verb consisting of an adjective (चिंतित - worried) and a verb (करना - to do), the conjugation follows the rules of karna. The gender and number of the subject determine the ending of karna in most tenses, while the 'object' is the person who feels the worry.
- Sentence Structure
- [Subject/Cause] + [Object/Person] + [चिंतित] + [Conjugated करना]
Let's look at the present continuous: 'The news is worrying me.' Here, 'The news' (Samachar) is the subject. 'Me' (Mujhe) is the object. The sentence becomes: Samachar mujhe chintit kar raha hai. Note that raha hai agrees with Samachar (masculine singular).
क्या मेरी बातें आपको चिंतित कर रही हैं? (Are my words worrying you?)
It is also common to see this verb used in the passive sense or as a participle, but when you want to emphasize that something is actively causing distress, chintit karna is your primary tool. It creates a direct link between the source of the problem and the emotional response of the individual.
- Negative Construction
- To say 'Don't worry me,' you would say: Mujhe chintit mat karo. This is a common imperative used when someone is sharing bad news unnecessarily.
परीक्षा के परिणामों ने छात्रों को बहुत चिंतित कर दिया। (The exam results worried the students a lot.)
In the real world, चिंतित करना is heard in formal environments and serious interpersonal exchanges. If you are watching a Hindi news channel like NDTV India or Aaj Tak, you will hear news anchors say, 'Desh ki arthvyavastha visheshagyon ko chintit kar rahi hai' (The country's economy is worrying the experts). This highlights the formal, analytical tone the word carries.
- Medical & Professional Context
- Doctors use it to discuss patient reports. 'Aapki report mein ye khoon ki kami humein chintit kar rahi hai' (This lack of blood in your report is worrying us).
In Hindi cinema (Bollywood), this phrase often appears in dramatic scenes where a parent is talking about a child's future or a protagonist is dealing with a looming threat. It adds a layer of 'gravitas' to the dialogue. While 'pareshan' (disturbed) is more common in daily street slang, 'chintit' suggests a more intellectual or deep-seated anxiety.
शहर में बढ़ती चोरी की घटनाएं पुलिस को चिंतित कर रही हैं। (The increasing incidents of theft in the city are worrying the police.)
You will also find this in literature and editorials. When an author wants to describe a situation that is not just problematic but deeply concerning on a moral or social level, chintit karna is the preferred verb. It evokes a sense of responsibility and the need for reflection.
आपका व्यवहार मुझे चिंतित कर रहा है। (Your behavior is worrying me.)
The most frequent mistake learners make is confusing चिंतित करना (chintit karnā) with चिंता करना (chintā karnā). While they look similar, their grammatical roles are opposite. Chinta karna is what you do when you are worried (e.g., 'Main chinta kar raha hoon' - I am worrying). Chintit karna is what something else does to you (e.g., 'Ye baat mujhe chintit kar rahi hai' - This matter is worrying me).
- Mistake: Subject-Verb Agreement
- Learners often make the verb agree with the person feeling the worry rather than the thing causing it. Correct: 'Baarish (fem) kisanon ko chintit kar rahi (fem) hai.' Incorrect: 'Baarish kisanon ko chintit kar rahe hain.'
Another mistake is using chintit karna for small, annoying things. If someone is tapping their pen and it's bothering you, don't use chintit karna. That is pareshan karna. Using chintit here would make you sound overly dramatic, as if the pen-tapping is causing you a deep existential crisis.
गलत: मैं तुम्हें चिंतित करता हूँ (I worry you - usually meant as 'I am worried about you'). सही: मैं तुम्हारी चिंता करता हूँ।
Lastly, be careful with the past tense. Because karna is transitive, the subject needs 'ne'. If you say 'Wah mujhe chintit kiya,' it is grammatically incomplete. It must be 'Usne mujhe chintit kiya.'
Hindi has a rich vocabulary for distress. Understanding the nuances between चिंतित करना and its synonyms will help you sound more like a native speaker. While chintit karna is the most direct way to say 'to worry someone,' other words might fit better depending on the intensity or type of worry.
- Comparison: Chintit vs. Pareshan
- Pareshan karna: To disturb, annoy, or trouble. It is broader and used for everything from a mosquito to a difficult exam. Chintit karna: Specifically implies causing mental anxiety and thought-based concern.
Another alternative is bechain karna (to make restless). This is used when the worry is physical—you can't sit still, you can't sleep. Chintit karna is more about the 'thinking' aspect of worry. If you want to say someone is 'scaring' you into worry, you might use darana.
उसकी बीमारी हमें विचलित कर रही है। (His illness is disturbing/distracting us - a stronger alternative to chintit karna.)
- Formal Alternative
- चिंताजनक होना (chintājanak honā): To be worrisome. Instead of saying 'The situation worries me,' you can say 'The situation is worrisome' (Stithi chintājanak hai).
How Formal Is It?
Fun Fact
The root 'chint' is also the source of the word 'Chintamani', a mythological jewel that grants all desires (literally 'thought-gem').
Pronunciation Guide
- Pronouncing 't' as a retroflex 'T' (like in 'table'). It should be soft dental.
- Making the 'i' in 'chintit' too long like 'ee'.
- Confusing the pronunciation with 'chinta' (dropping the 'it').
Difficulty Rating
Easy to recognize in texts once the root 'chinta' is known.
Requires knowledge of transitive verb conjugation and 'ne' particle.
Requires distinguishing from 'chinta karna' in real-time.

Derived from the Sanskrit root 'चिन्त्' (chint), which means to think, reflect, or be anxious. The suffix '-it' makes it a past participle adjective.
Original meaning: Thought-filled or reflecting with anxiety.
Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit -> Prakrit -> Hindi).Cultural Context
Be careful when using this with elders. Telling an elder 'Aap mujhe chintit kar rahe hain' can sound slightly disrespectful depending on the tone; usually, a more humble phrasing is preferred.
In English, we often say 'You're worrying me.' In Hindi, this is strictly 'Tum mujhe chintit kar rahe ho.' The emotional weight is slightly heavier in Hindi.
