सक्रिय em 30 segundos
- सक्रिय (Sakriya) is a common Hindi adjective meaning 'active' or 'engaged' in various physical, social, and technical contexts.
- It is used for people (active lifestyle), objects (active volcano), and digital states (active account or SIM card).
- The word is formal yet accessible, suitable for both daily conversation and professional or academic writing across all levels.
- Its antonym is 'निष्क्रिय' (Nishkriya), meaning passive or inactive, which is essential for contrasting states of being.
The Hindi word सक्रिय (Sakriya) is a versatile adjective that primarily translates to 'active' in English. It is derived from the Sanskrit roots 'Sa' (with) and 'Kriya' (action/process), literally meaning 'with action.' In everyday Hindi, it describes someone or something that is not just functional, but energetically engaged in a process. Whether you are talking about a student participating in class, a volcano ready to erupt, or a chemical ingredient that is potent, 'सक्रिय' is your go-to term.
- Physical Activity
- Refers to being physically energetic or involved in sports and exercise. Example: वह खेलकूद में बहुत सक्रिय है।
- Functional State
- Indicates that a system, machine, or account is currently operational. Example: आपका बैंक खाता अब सक्रिय है।
- Social/Political Engagement
- Describes being involved in social causes or political movements. Example: वह राजनीति में सक्रिय भूमिका निभा रहा है।
"स्वस्थ रहने के लिए हमें शारीरिक रूप से सक्रिय रहना चाहिए।" (To stay healthy, we must remain physically active.)
"यह ज्वालामुखी पिछले सौ वर्षों से सक्रिय है।" (This volcano has been active for the last hundred years.)
"सोशल मीडिया पर सक्रिय रहना आज की ज़रूरत है।" (Staying active on social media is a necessity today.)
Using 'सक्रिय' correctly involves understanding its role as an adjective that modifies nouns. It doesn't change based on gender or number in its base form, making it relatively easy for learners. However, it is often paired with the verb 'होना' (to be) or 'रहना' (to remain).
- As a Predicative Adjective: Placing it after the noun. "वह सक्रिय है" (He is active).
- As an Attributive Adjective: Placing it before the noun. "सक्रिय सदस्य" (Active member).
In formal contexts, you will see it combined with 'भूमिका' (role) to mean 'active role' (सक्रिय भूमिका). This is a very common collocation in news and professional settings.
You will encounter 'सक्रिय' in various domains of Hindi life. In News Broadcasts, it is used for political activists (सक्रिय कार्यकर्ता) or militants (सक्रिय उग्रवादी). In Science and Nature, it describes active volcanoes (सक्रिय ज्वालामुखी) or active ingredients in medicine (सक्रिय तत्व). In Technology, it refers to active users or active accounts on a platform.
A common mistake for English speakers is using 'सक्रिय' when they mean 'working' in a general sense. For example, if a clock is working, you say 'घड़ी चल रही है' (The clock is moving/running), not 'घड़ी सक्रिय है'. 'सक्रिय' implies a state of engagement or readiness, not just the mechanical act of functioning. Another mistake is confusing it with 'फुर्तीला' (agile/quick). While an active person might be agile, 'सक्रिय' focuses on the involvement, while 'फुर्तीला' focuses on the speed and ease of movement.
Several words share a semantic field with 'सक्रिय'. क्रियाशील (Kriyasheel) is a close synonym often used in more formal or scientific contexts to mean 'functional' or 'dynamic'. चुस्त (Chust) means smart, tight, or active in a physical sense, often used for someone who is alert. कर्मठ (Karmath) is a high-praise word for someone who is hardworking and dedicated to their actions. Understanding these nuances helps in choosing the right word for the right level of formality.

Active vs. Busy
Don't use 'सक्रिय' when you just mean you have a lot of work. Use 'व्यस्त' for 'busy'. Use 'सक्रिय' for being 'involved' or 'energetic'. There is a subtle but important difference in meaning.
The 'Kri' Sound
The 'kri' in 'sakriya' is a blend of 'k' and a tapped 'r'. Practice saying it quickly without adding an extra vowel between 'k' and 'r'. It should sound like the 'cri' in 'critical'.
Tech Context
In apps and websites, 'Activate' is usually translated as 'सक्रिय करें'. If you see this on a button, it means you are turning something on or enabling a feature. It's a key word for navigating Hindi interfaces.
Lifestyle Talk
When talking about health, 'सक्रिय जीवनशैली' is the standard term for an active lifestyle. It's a great phrase to use in essays or conversations about fitness. It sounds much more natural than 'चलने वाला जीवन'.

Adverbial Use
To use it as an adverb, always use 'सक्रिय रूप से'. For example, 'वह सक्रिय रूप से भाग लेता है'. This is the most common way to describe how an action is being performed.

Perguntas frequentes
10 perguntasNo, 'सक्रिय' is an invariant adjective in Hindi. It remains the same regardless of the gender of the noun it describes. For example, 'वह लड़का सक्रिय है' and 'वह लड़की सक्रिय है' are both correct. This makes it easier for learners to use without worrying about gender agreement.
Usually, no. For a clock or a machine that is simply running, Hindi speakers prefer 'चल रहा है' (running). 'सक्रिय' is used more for systems, accounts, or biological/geological states like a volcano or an immune system. Using 'सक्रिय' for a clock would sound overly technical or unnatural.
'सक्रिय' is the most common word for 'active' in almost all contexts. 'क्रियाशील' is slightly more formal and often refers to something being 'functional' or 'in a state of action'. In most daily conversations, 'सक्रिय' is the better choice. 'क्रियाशील' is more common in scientific or philosophical texts.
To say 'actively', you add 'रूप से' (roop se) after 'सक्रिय'. So, 'सक्रिय रूप से' means 'actively'. For example: 'वह सक्रिय रूप से काम कर रहा है' (He is working actively). This is a very common way to turn the adjective into an adverbial phrase.
No, the term for 'active voice' in Hindi grammar is 'कर्तृवाच्य' (Kartrivachya). While 'सक्रिय' means active in a general sense, grammatical terms in Hindi have their own specific Sanskrit-derived vocabulary. However, in a general discussion about language, you might describe a vocabulary as 'सक्रिय शब्दावली' (active vocabulary).
Yes, it can describe a state of being energetic. If someone is feeling ready to take on tasks, they might say 'आज मैं बहुत सक्रिय महसूस कर रहा हूँ' (I am feeling very active today). It implies a positive, high-energy state rather than just being busy.
The direct opposite is 'निष्क्रिय' (Nishkriya), which means 'inactive' or 'passive'. Just like 'सक्रिय' comes from 'Sa' (with) + 'Kriya' (action), 'निष्क्रिय' comes from 'Nis' (without) + 'Kriya'. It is used for inactive accounts, passive roles, or dormant volcanoes.
It is a neutral-to-formal word. It is perfectly fine to use in casual conversation, but it is also the standard word used in news, textbooks, and professional environments. It is more formal than 'फुर्तीला' (agile) but less formal than 'उद्यमशील' (industrious).
No, for a busy street, the word 'भीड़भाड़ वाला' (crowded) or 'व्यस्त' (busy) is used. 'सक्रिय' is not used to describe the density of people or traffic in a location. It describes the state of an individual entity or a specific system.
It is extremely common. You will see it on your phone settings (activate), hear it in the news (active members), and use it to describe your lifestyle. It is a core word for any Hindi learner reaching the A2-B1 level.
