Explicação घिन करना in your Level:

At the A1 level, you don't need to master the complex verb 'घिन करना' yet, but you should recognize the noun 'घिन' (ghin) as a way to say 'yuck' or 'gross'. Think of it as a step beyond 'bad' (बुरा). You might hear a parent say 'छी' (chee) to a baby. At this stage, focus on the physical feeling of seeing something dirty. Just knowing that 'ghin' means 'disgust' is enough. You can use it in very simple sentences like 'यह घिन है' (This is disgust/gross), though even that is a bit advanced for absolute beginners. Mostly, you will encounter it in the context of cleanliness and food.

At the A2 level, you should begin to see how 'घिन' combines with 'आना' (to come) or 'करना' (to do). You can use it to describe things you really don't like because they are dirty. For example, 'मुझे गंदगी से घिन आती है' (I feel disgust from dirt). You are learning to express basic feelings beyond 'happy' or 'sad'. You can use 'ghin' to explain why you don't want to go to a certain place or eat a certain thing. It helps you set boundaries regarding hygiene. Remember to use the word 'से' (se) before 'ghin'.

As a B1 learner, you should be able to use 'घिन करना' comfortably in both physical and social contexts. You can use it to describe your reaction to a person's bad behavior or a messy situation. You understand that 'ghin' is a visceral, strong emotion. You can distinguish between 'ghin' (disgust), 'nafrat' (hate), and 'chid' (irritation). You can conjugate 'ghin karna' in present, past, and future tenses. For example, 'अगर तुम सफाई नहीं रखोगे, तो लोग तुमसे घिन करेंगे' (If you don't keep clean, people will be disgusted by you). You are starting to use the word to express personal values.

At the B2 level, you use 'घिन करना' with nuance. You understand the moral implications of the word. You can use it to talk about corruption, hypocrisy, or cruelty. You are also familiar with the adjective 'घिनौना' (ghinaunā - disgusting/heinous) and can use it to describe complex situations. You can engage in discussions about social issues where 'ghin' is a common reaction. Your sentences are more complex: 'उसकी घिनौनी बातों ने मुझे उससे घिन करने पर मजबूर कर दिया' (His disgusting words forced me to feel disgusted by him). You understand the difference between active 'karna' and passive 'aana' perfectly.

At the C1 level, 'घिन करना' is part of your sophisticated vocabulary for discussing human psychology and social ethics. You can use it in literary analysis or deep philosophical debates. You might discuss how 'ghin' acts as a social regulator or how it appears in Hindi literature to depict class or caste dynamics (critically). You understand the etymological roots and can use related Sanskritized terms like 'घृणा' or 'वीभत्स' (loathsome/grotesque) to add variety to your speech. You can use the word in metaphors and complex idiomatic expressions without hesitation.

At the C2 level, you have a native-like grasp of 'घिन करना'. You use it with perfect timing and tone, knowing exactly when it will sound powerful and when it might be too harsh. You can use it to express existential revulsion or deep-seated cultural critiques. You are aware of the subtle regional variations in how the word is used across the Hindi-speaking world. You can effortlessly switch between 'ghin karna', 'ghin aana', and high-register synonyms depending on your audience, whether you are writing a legal brief, a poem, or chatting in a bazaar.

घिन करना em 30 segundos

A verb meaning to feel disgust or revulsion.
Used for physical dirt and moral badness.
Requires the 'se' postposition for the object.
Often interchangeable with 'ghin aana' in daily speech.

The Hindi verb घिन करना (Ghin Karnā) translates most directly to 'to feel disgust' or 'to feel a sense of revulsion.' It is a compound verb formed by the noun 'घिन' (ghin), which represents the internal feeling of nausea or strong dislike, and the auxiliary verb 'करना' (karnā), which means 'to do' or 'to perform.' However, in practical Hindi usage, it describes a visceral reaction—the kind of feeling you get when you see something unhygienic, smell something foul, or witness an act that is morally repulsive.

Semantic Range: This term covers everything from physical nausea caused by rotting food to the social disgust felt toward corrupt behavior. It is more intense than simple 'dislike' (नापसंद करना) and carries a weight of rejection.

वह कूड़े के ढेर से घिन करता है। (He feels disgusted by the pile of garbage.)

In everyday conversation, you will often hear a variation: घिन आना (Ghin Ānā). While 'Ghin Karnā' implies the person is actively feeling or expressing disgust, 'Ghin Ānā' suggests that the feeling of disgust is coming upon them involuntarily. For English speakers, understanding this distinction is key to sounding natural. Use 'Ghin Karnā' when you want to emphasize the subject's ongoing attitude of aversion toward a specific object or habit.

Cultural Nuance: In Indian society, hygiene and ritual purity are historically significant. Consequently, words like 'ghin' are used frequently to describe violations of cleanliness, whether in a kitchen, a public space, or in personal conduct.

झूठ बोलने वालों से मुझे घिन आती है। (I feel disgusted by liars.)

The word is versatile. It can be used by a child refusing to touch a slimy vegetable, or by a politician condemning a scandal. It is a B1 level word because it moves beyond basic needs and desires into the realm of complex emotional and moral evaluation. If you find yourself in a situation where 'hate' (नफरत) feels too angry and 'dislike' (नापसंद) feels too weak, 'घिन करना' is often the perfect middle ground that expresses 'revulsion.'

Grammar Note: The object of disgust is usually followed by the postposition 'से' (se), which functions here like 'from' or 'with'. So, it is 'X से घिन करना' (To feel disgust from/with X).

गंदी आदतों से घिन करना अच्छी बात है। (It is a good thing to be disgusted by bad habits.)

Using घिन करना correctly involves understanding its grammatical structure as a transitive verb phrase. Because it is a compound verb ending in 'करना', it follows the standard conjugation patterns of 'karnā'. In the present tense, it becomes 'करता हूँ / करती हूँ / करते हैं'. In the past tense, it often takes the 'ne' (ने) construction if used transitively, though the 'ghin' itself acts as the object.

Pattern 1: Physical Disgust: When talking about physical things like mud, insects, or bad smells.
Example: 'बच्चा कीचड़ से घिन कर रहा है।' (The child is feeling disgusted by the mud.)

वह बासी खाने से घिन करता है। (He feels disgusted by stale food.)

The 'से' (se) postposition is mandatory. It links the source of the disgust to the action of feeling it. Without 'से', the sentence would be grammatically incomplete. For instance, 'मैं गंदगी घिन करता हूँ' is incorrect; it must be 'मैं गंदगी *से* घिन करता हूँ'.

Pattern 2: Moral Disgust: When referring to behaviors, corruption, or betrayal.
Example: 'समाज भ्रष्टाचार से घिन करता है।' (Society is disgusted by corruption.)

ईमानदार लोग धोखेबाज़ी से घिन करते हैं। (Honest people feel disgusted by cheating.)

You can also use it in the imperative form to tell someone not to be so squeamish. For example, 'घिन मत करो, यह सिर्फ मिट्टी है' (Don't be disgusted, it's just soil). This is a common way to encourage someone to be less sensitive to minor messes.

Negative Constructions: To say someone is NOT disgusted, simply add 'नहीं'.
Example: 'वह किसी भी काम से घिन नहीं करता।' (He is not disgusted by any kind of work.)

हमें मेहनत के काम से घिन नहीं करनी चाहिए। (We should not feel disgusted by hard labor.)

In summary, 'घिन करना' requires a subject (who feels), an object (what is disgusting), and the particle 'से'. It is a powerful way to express a strong negative reaction that is both emotional and physical.

In North India, घिन करना and its counterpart घिन आना are ubiquitous. You will hear them in kitchens, on the streets, in Bollywood dramas, and during political debates. It is a word that bridges the gap between high-register literature and raw, street-level expression.

In the Household: Parents often use this word with children. If a child is playing in a drain or touching something dirty, the parent might shout, 'छी! घिन नहीं आती तुम्हें?' (Yuck! Don't you feel disgusted?). Here, 'ghin' acts as a tool for teaching hygiene and social norms.

रसोई में गंदगी देखकर माँ घिन करने लगी। (Seeing the mess in the kitchen, mother started feeling disgusted.)

In Bollywood movies, this word is frequently used during scenes of betrayal or when a villain's true nature is revealed. A character might say, 'मुझे तुम्हारी शक्ल से घिन आती है' (I am disgusted by your face). It conveys a deep loss of respect, implying that the other person is no longer even worthy of being looked at.

In News and Media: News anchors use the adjective form 'घिनौना' (ghinaunā - disgusting) to describe crimes. They might say, 'यह एक घिनौना अपराध है' (This is a disgusting/heinous crime). The verb 'ghin karnā' might then be used to describe the public's reaction: 'पूरा देश इस घटना से घिन कर रहा है।' (The whole country is disgusted by this incident.)

उसकी ओछी हरकतों से सब घिन करते हैं। (Everyone is disgusted by his petty actions.)

You will also encounter this in literature when an author wants to describe a character's internal state of revulsion. It is a very 'human' word—it describes a feeling that is universal but expressed with a specific Hindi intensity. Whether it's the smell of a fish market or the sight of a corrupt deal, 'ghin' is the go-to word for that 'ugh' feeling.

बिना हाथ धोए खाना खाने से मुझे घिन आती है। (I feel disgusted by eating without washing hands.)

Learning to use घिन करना involves avoiding several common pitfalls that English speakers often encounter due to direct translation.

Mistake 1: Forgetting the Postposition 'से': In English, we say 'I disgust him' (meaning I cause him disgust) or 'I am disgusted by him'. In Hindi, the source MUST be followed by 'से'.
❌ Incorrect: मैं वह गंदगी घिन करता हूँ।
✅ Correct: मैं उस गंदगी *से* घिन करता हूँ।

झूठ से घिन करना सीखो। (Learn to be disgusted by lies.)

Another frequent error is confusing घिन करना (to feel disgust) with नफरत करना (to hate). While they are related, 'ghin' is about revulsion and nausea, whereas 'nafrat' is about anger and deep-seated animosity. You might 'hate' your enemy, but you feel 'ghin' toward a cockroach or a slimy politician.

Mistake 2: Confusing 'Karnā' with 'Ānā': 'Ghin karnā' is an active choice or a state of being. 'Ghin ānā' is a reaction that happens to you. If you say 'Mujhe ghin karti hai', it's grammatically weird. It should be 'Main ghin karta hoon' (I feel disgust) OR 'Mujhe ghin aati hai' (Disgust comes to me/I feel disgusted).

मुझे इस कीड़े से घिन आ रही है। (I am feeling disgusted by this insect - more common than 'karnā' in this context.)

Finally, learners often over-apply this word. Don't use 'ghin' for things you simply dislike, like a movie you found boring or a vegetable you don't enjoy eating. Use it only when there is a sense of 'yuck' or moral bankruptcy involved. If a movie is just bad, use 'bekaar' (useless) or 'naapasand' (dislike).

वह अपनी पुरानी गलतियों से घिन करता है। (He feels disgusted by his old mistakes - suggests deep regret and revulsion.)

Hindi has a rich vocabulary for negative emotions. Knowing the alternatives to घिन करना will help you express precise levels of aversion.

1. नफरत करना (Nafrat Karnā): Meaning: To hate.
Comparison: 'Nafrat' is emotional and often involves anger. 'Ghin' is visceral and involves revulsion. You 'nafrat' a person who hurt you; you 'ghin' a person who is slimy or gross.
2. घृणा करना (Ghrinā Karnā): Meaning: To loathe or detest.
Comparison: This is the formal/Sanskritized version of 'ghin'. You will find it in literature, formal speeches, or news reports. It sounds more sophisticated and serious than 'ghin'.

वह अन्याय से घृणा करता है। (He detests injustice - high register.)

If you want to describe a milder feeling of not being interested or having a slight aversion, use अरुचि (Arūchi) or विमुख होना (Vimukh Honā). These mean 'lack of interest' or 'turning away from' and lack the 'gross-out' factor of 'ghin'.

3. चिढ़ना (Chidhnā): Meaning: To be irritated or annoyed.
Comparison: If someone is clicking a pen and it bothers you, you are 'chidh' (irritated), not 'ghin' (disgusted).

उसे छोटी-छोटी बातों से चिढ़ होती है। (He gets irritated by small things.)

Finally, the slang term छी (Chee!) is the exclamation most associated with 'ghin'. If you feel 'ghin', you almost always say 'Chee!'. It is the equivalent of 'Eww!' or 'Gross!'. Using them together makes you sound very native: 'छी! मुझे इससे घिन आती है!'

Put your hand in front of your mouth; you should feel a puff of air when saying 'Ghin'.

Be Careful with People

Avoid saying 'I am disgusted by you' (Mujhe tumse ghin aati hai) unless you mean to end the relationship.

Learn 'Ghinauna'

The adjective form 'Ghinauna' is just as useful as the verb.

Moral vs Physical

Realize that 'ghin' is used for both a dirty toilet and a corrupt bribe.

The 'Chee' Factor

Start your sentence with 'Chee' to sound like a local when expressing disgust.

The 'Grin' Mnemonic

Ghin is the opposite of a Grin. One is happy, one is yucky.

Try to find three things today that make you feel 'ghin' and describe them in Hindi using 'ghin karna'.

Origem da palavra

Derived from the Sanskrit word 'घृणा' (ghṛṇā). In Sanskrit, 'ghṛṇā' originally carried meanings related to both 'compassion' and 'contempt/disgust'. Over time, in Prakrit and then Hindi, the sense of 'compassion' was lost, and it evolved into the modern 'ghin' meaning revulsion.

Significado original: Contempt, hatred, or physical revulsion.

Indo-Aryan

Contexto cultural

Be careful when using 'ghin' regarding people. Calling a person's work or lifestyle 'ghin' can be very offensive and classist/casteist.

English speakers might use 'grossed out' or 'revolted'. 'Ghin karna' is slightly more formal than 'grossed out' but less formal than 'revolted'.

Premchand's stories often use 'ghin' to describe the reaction of the upper class to the poor, highlighting social injustice. Bollywood songs occasionally use 'ghin' in a playful way to describe a lover's 'fake' disgust at a compliment. Public service announcements in India use 'ghin' to discourage littering.
