如何使用
Extremely High. It is one of the top 100 most used verbs in the Hindi language.
-
मैं दाम बढ़ाया।
→
मैंने दाम बढ़ाया।
Because 'बढ़ाना' is a transitive verb, the past perfective tense requires the ergative marker 'ने' (ne) after the subject.
-
तापमान बढ़ाती है।
→
तापमान बढ़ता है।
Temperature increases on its own. You must use the intransitive verb 'बढ़ना' (badhna), not the transitive 'बढ़ाना'.
-
उसने आवाज़ बढ़ाया।
→
उसने आवाज़ बढ़ाई।
In the 'ne' construction, the verb must agree with the object. 'आवाज़' (volume) is feminine, so the verb must be feminine ('बढ़ाई').
-
मुझे अपनी सैलरी बढ़ाना है।
→
मुझे अपनी सैलरी बढ़ानी है।
When expressing obligation with 'है', the infinitive verb acts as an adjective and must agree with the feminine object 'सैलरी'.
-
वह बच्चा बढ़ा रहा है।
→
वह बच्चा बड़ा कर रहा है।
'बढ़ाना' is not used for raising children or making physical things larger in size. Use 'बड़ा करना' or 'पालना' for raising kids.
小贴士
The 'Ne' Rule
Always remember: Subject + ने + Object + बढ़ाया/बढ़ाई/बढ़ाए. The verb ending depends entirely on the object's gender and number, not the subject's.
Master the 'ढ़'
Don't say 'badaana'. Curl your tongue back, flap it forward, and release a strong puff of air. It should sound distinct from a simple 'd' or 'r'.
Transitive Check
Before using 'बढ़ाना', ask yourself: 'Is someone actively doing this?' If yes, use 'बढ़ाना'. If it's happening naturally, use 'बढ़ना'.
Learn the Opposites Together
Always practice 'बढ़ाना' (to increase) alongside 'घटाना' (to decrease). They follow the exact same grammatical rules.
Metaphorical Uses
Impress native speakers by using phrases like 'दोस्ती का हाथ बढ़ाना' (extending the hand of friendship) or 'हौसला बढ़ाना' (encouraging).
Infinitive Agreement
When using with 'चाहिए' (should), the infinitive must agree with the object. 'मुझे स्पीड बढ़ानी चाहिए' (I should increase speed - feminine).
Formal Alternatives
If you are writing an essay about the economy, swap 'बढ़ाना' for 'वृद्धि करना' to instantly elevate your writing style.
Avoid Escalation
Remember the phrase 'बात बढ़ाना'. It's a great phrase to use when you want to de-escalate a situation: 'चलिए, बात नहीं बढ़ाते हैं'.
Daily Action
Every time you turn up the volume on your phone or TV today, say 'मैंने आवाज़ बढ़ाई' out loud to build muscle memory.

Next time you watch a video, physically turn up the volume and say aloud: 'मैं आवाज़ बढ़ा रहा हूँ' (I am increasing the volume).
词源
The word traces its roots back to the Sanskrit root 'वर्ध्' (vardh), which means to grow, increase, or prosper. Over centuries, through Prakrit and Apabhramsha, the phonetic structure softened, transforming the 'v' to 'b' and the 'rdh' cluster into the retroflex 'ढ़' (rha).
原始含义: To cause to grow or prosper.
Indo-European > Indo-Iranian > Indo-Aryan > Central Indo-Aryan > Hindi.文化背景
Be careful not to use the imperative 'बढ़ाओ' (badhaao) with elders or in formal situations, as it sounds commanding and rude. Always use the formal 'बढ़ाइए' (badhaaiye).
English speakers use 'increase' for both 'the price increased' and 'he increased the price'. Hindi strictly separates these into 'बढ़ना' and 'बढ़ाना'.

常见问题
10 个问题No. While it means 'to increase' or 'to make bigger', raising children is translated as 'बड़ा करना' (bada karna) or 'पालना' (paalna). 'बढ़ाना' is used for quantities, prices, volume, and abstract concepts like knowledge.
Because 'बढ़ाना' is a transitive verb used in the past perfective tense with the 'ne' marker. In this structure, the verb must agree with the gender of the object. 'आवाज़' (volume/sound) is a feminine noun, so the verb becomes feminine 'बढ़ाई'.
'बढ़ना' is intransitive (happens on its own). Example: 'महंगाई बढ़ रही है' (Inflation is increasing). 'बढ़ाना' is transitive (someone does it). Example: 'सरकार टैक्स बढ़ा रही है' (The government is increasing the tax).
You should use the formal imperative form 'बढ़ाइए' (badhaaiye) along with 'कृपया' (kripaya - please). Say: 'कृपया टीवी की आवाज़ बढ़ाइए' (Please increase the TV volume).
Yes, it is acceptable in formal writing, but synonyms like 'वृद्धि करना' (vriddhi karna) or 'विस्तार करना' (vistaar karna) are often preferred in academic or highly formal economic contexts to sound more professional.
Absolutely. It is the most common verb for this context. You can say 'गाड़ी की स्पीड बढ़ाओ' (Increase the car's speed) or simply 'रेस बढ़ाओ' (Increase the acceleration).
It literally translates to 'increasing the talk', but it means to escalate an argument or make a small issue into a big conflict. It is usually used negatively, as in 'बात मत बढ़ाओ' (Don't escalate the matter).
You can say 'मैं अपनी शब्दावली बढ़ाना चाहता हूँ' (Main apni shabdavali badhaana chahta hoon). Here, the infinitive 'बढ़ाना' is used with the verb 'चाहना' (to want).
Yes, because it is strictly a transitive verb. Any completed action in the past (perfective aspect) using this verb will require the subject to take the 'ne' postposition.
Yes, but usually in a compound or specific phrasing. 'उसका पद बढ़ा दिया गया' (His position was increased). However, 'तरक्की देना' (to give a promotion) is more commonly used for job promotions.

Summary
Use 'बढ़ाना' (badhaana) when someone actively makes something bigger, louder, or more expensive. Example: 'उसने आवाज़ बढ़ाई' (He increased the volume).
- Means 'to increase' or 'to raise'.
- Always requires a direct object.
- Uses 'ne' in the past tense.
- Opposite of 'ghataana' (to decrease).
The 'Ne' Rule
Always remember: Subject + ने + Object + बढ़ाया/बढ़ाई/बढ़ाए. The verb ending depends entirely on the object's gender and number, not the subject's.
Master the 'ढ़'
Don't say 'badaana'. Curl your tongue back, flap it forward, and release a strong puff of air. It should sound distinct from a simple 'd' or 'r'.
Transitive Check
Before using 'बढ़ाना', ask yourself: 'Is someone actively doing this?' If yes, use 'बढ़ाना'. If it's happening naturally, use 'बढ़ना'.
Learn the Opposites Together
Always practice 'बढ़ाना' (to increase) alongside 'घटाना' (to decrease). They follow the exact same grammatical rules.
