解析 डाँटना in your Level:

At the A1 level, you should learn 'डाँटना' as a simple action verb. Focus on the past tense 'डाँटा' (scolded) because that is how you will most likely hear it. At this stage, you don't need to worry about complex grammar, just understand that if someone is 'डाँटिंग' you, they are unhappy with something you did. Think of it as 'Mummy scolding' or 'Teacher scolding'. The pronunciation is key—ensure you make the 'D' sound by curling your tongue back. You will mostly use it in very short sentences like 'Mummy ne danta' (Mummy scolded). It's a useful word to describe basic household interactions. Don't worry about the 'ne' rule too much yet, just try to memorize the phrase 'Usne danta' as a single unit meaning 'He/She scolded'.

At the A2 level, you start using 'डाँटना' in more complete sentences. This is where you introduce the object marker 'को' (ko). For example, 'Maa ne bachhe ko danta' (Mother scolded the child). You should also learn the opposite of scolding, which is 'pyaar karna' (to love/be affectionate). You'll begin to notice 'डाँटना' in simple stories or conversations about daily life. You should also be able to use the negative form: 'Mujhe mat danto' (Don't scold me). This level is about building the habit of using 'ne' with the subject and 'ko' with the object. You should also recognize the word 'dant' (scolding) as a noun, as in 'Mujhe dant padi' (I got a scolding).

By B1, you should be comfortable using 'डाँटना' in various tenses, including the continuous and future. You should also understand the nuance between 'डाँटना' and other verbs like 'gussa hona' (to be angry). At this level, you can start using compound expressions like 'dant-phatkar' (scolding and rebuking). You might use 'डाँटना' to describe workplace scenarios or more complex social situations. You'll also learn the 'padna' construction: 'Mujhe use dantna pada' (I had to scold him), which shows necessity. This level requires you to understand that scolding can be a form of discipline and is not always seen as a negative or abusive act in Hindi culture.

At the B2 level, you can use 'डाँटना' to describe more abstract or indirect situations. For instance, you might talk about a 'scolding' from a boss in a professional setting or how a public figure was 'scolded' by the media. You should be able to distinguish between 'डाँटना' and its more formal or literary synonyms like 'phatkarna' or 'bhartsana'. You will also encounter the word in more complex sentence structures involving relative clauses, such as 'Vah vajah jiski vajah se mujhe danta gaya...' (The reason for which I was scolded...). Your understanding of the cultural context—where scolding is an acceptable part of a hierarchy—should be well-developed by now.

At the C1 level, you explore the literary and metaphorical uses of 'डाँटना'. You might read it in classic Hindi literature where a character's internal monologue 'scolds' them for a moral failing. You should be able to appreciate the subtle differences in tone when a writer uses 'jhidakna' (snapping) versus 'dantna' (scolding). You will also understand the use of the word in legal or political commentary, where the 'Supreme Court scolding the government' becomes a metaphor for judicial activism. At this level, your usage should be flawless, including the correct gender-number agreement in complex sentences and the use of the passive voice ('Mujhe danta gaya').

At the C2 level, you have a native-like grasp of 'डाँटना'. You understand the historical and etymological roots of the word and can use it with all its cultural baggage. You can use it in high-level debates about parenting styles or organizational management. You are familiar with obscure idioms and can play with the word's meaning in creative writing. You understand the rhythm and stress of the word in various Indian dialects and can identify when it is being used sarcastically or ironically. You can explain the 'dant-phatkar' dynamic in the context of traditional Indian education systems versus modern approaches. Your command is absolute.

डाँटना 30秒了解

A common Hindi verb meaning 'to scold' or 'to reprimand' someone for a mistake.
Used primarily by elders or superiors towards younger people or subordinates.
Requires the postposition 'ne' in the past tense (e.g., 'Usne danta').
Culturally, it is seen as a form of discipline and guidance in South Asia.

The Hindi verb डाँटना (Dāṇṭnā) is a fundamental term used to describe the act of scolding, reprimanding, or rebuking someone. In the linguistic landscape of Northern India, this word carries a weight that spans from a mild parental correction to a severe professional reprimand. It is primarily a transitive verb, meaning it requires an object—the person who is being scolded. Understanding 'डाँटना' requires more than just knowing the translation 'to scold'; it requires an understanding of the social hierarchy in India. Scolding is often seen as a legitimate form of guidance or 'shubh-chintan' (well-wishing) by elders or superiors. When a teacher scolds a student, it is not merely anger; it is an attempt to steer the student back to the right path. The word captures the vocalization of disapproval, often involving a raised voice or a stern tone.

The Social Dynamic: In Hindi-speaking cultures, 'डाँटना' is most frequently used within the family unit. Parents 'डाँटना' their children for not studying, for coming home late, or for being disrespectful. This is considered a part of 'Parvarish' (upbringing). It is rarely used for peers unless there is a significant conflict, as scolding a peer can be seen as an overreach of authority.

माँ ने मुझे बहुत डाँटा क्योंकि मैंने होमवर्क नहीं किया था। (Mā ne mujhe bahut dāṇṭā kyoṅki maine homework nahīñ kiyā thā.)

Translation: Mom scolded me a lot because I hadn't done my homework.

The emotional spectrum of 'डाँटना' is broad. It can range from a 'halki-phulki dāṇṭ' (a light scolding) to a 'zordār dāṇṭ' (a powerful rebuke). In professional settings, while the English word 'reprimand' might feel cold, the Hindi 'डाँटना' still retains a sense of personal interaction. A boss might 'डाँटना' an employee for a mistake, which implies a direct, vocal confrontation rather than a formal written warning. This directness is a key feature of the word's usage.

Grammar Note: Since 'डाँटना' is a transitive verb, when used in the perfective aspect (past tense), the subject takes the postposition 'ने' (ne). For example, 'उसने' (He/She) instead of 'वह'.

टीचर ने शरारती बच्चों को डाँटा। (Teacher ne sharāratī baccoñ ko dāṇṭā.)

The word also appears in various idiomatic expressions and compound forms. For instance, 'डाँट-फटकार' (dāṇṭ-phaṭkār) is a common pairing that intensifies the meaning to 'scolding and rebuking.' If someone says they 'ate a scolding' (dāṇṭ khānā), it means they were the recipient of the scolding. This passive construction is very common in daily conversation: 'आज मैंने मम्मी से डाँट खाई' (Today I got scolded by Mummy).

Register and Context: Neutral to Informal. While used in formal news reports, it sounds more like a personal act than a bureaucratic one. For a strictly formal 'reprimand' in a legal or official sense, 'भर्त्सना' (bhartsanā) or 'ताड़ना' (tāṛnā) might be used, though 'डाँटना' remains the king of everyday speech.

पापा की डाँट से डर लगता है। (Pāpā kī dāṇṭ se ḍar lagtā hai.)

बिना वजह किसी को मत डाँटो। (Binā vajah kisī ko mat dāṇṭo.)

Translation: Don't scold anyone without a reason.

Using डाँटना correctly involves mastering the transitive verb structure and the 'ne' rule in past tenses. In Hindi, verbs agree with the object if 'ne' is present, but since 'डाँटना' usually takes the 'ko' marker for the person being scolded, the verb often defaults to the masculine singular form 'डाँटा'. Let's break down the usage across different tenses and moods.

Present Tense (Habitual): To describe someone who habitually scolds. 'वह हमेशा मुझे डाँटता है' (He always scolds me). Here, the verb agrees with the subject 'वह'.

मेरी दादी मुझे कभी नहीं डाँटतीं। (Merī dādī mujhe kabhī nahīñ dāṇṭtīñ.)

In the continuous present, you would say 'डाँट रहा है' (is scolding). 'बॉस मैनेजर को डाँट रहे हैं' (The boss is scolding the manager). Notice the respect marker 'रहे हैं' used for the boss.

Past Tense (Perfective): This is the most common usage. Remember: Subject + ने + Object + को + डाँटा. 'मैंने उसे डाँटा' (I scolded him/her).

पुलिस ने ड्राइवर को बहुत डाँटा। (Police ne driver ko bahut dāṇṭā.)

For future intentions, use 'डाँटूँगा' (will scold). 'अगर तुम फिर से झूठ बोलोगे, तो मैं तुम्हें डाँटूँगा' (If you lie again, I will scold you). The verb changes based on the gender and number of the speaker.

Imperative Mood (Orders): 'उसे मत डाँटो' (Don't scold him - neutral) or 'उसे मत डाँटिए' (Don't scold him - polite/formal).

बच्चों को सबके सामने मत डाँटिए। (Baccoñ ko sabke sāmne mat dāṇṭie.)

One subtle point: 'डाँटना' is often paired with 'पड़ना' to show necessity or inevitability. 'मुझे उसे डाँटना पड़ा' (I had to scold him). This implies that the speaker didn't want to do it but felt forced by the circumstances. This is a very common way to justify one's actions in Hindi conversation.

जब उसने मेरी बात नहीं मानी, तो मुझे उसे डाँटना पड़ा। (Jab usne merī bāt nahīñ mānī, to mujhe use dāṇṭnā paṛā.)

You will hear डाँटना in almost every sphere of Indian life. It is a word that resonates with the experience of growing up and navigating social hierarchies. Here are the most common contexts where this word surfaces.

In the Household: This is the primary domain. You'll hear 'मम्मी ने डाँटा' (Mummy scolded) or 'पापा डाँटेंगे' (Papa will scold). It’s often used as a deterrent for children. In soap operas (Hindi serials), the 'Saas-Bahu' (mother-in-law and daughter-in-law) dynamic frequently involves 'डाँटना' as a display of power or disapproval.

'ज़्यादा मत बोलो, वरना अभी डाँट पड़ेगी!' (Don't talk too much, or you'll get scolded right now!)

In schools and coaching centers, 'डाँटना' is a common pedagogical tool, for better or worse. Students often discuss which teacher is 'डाँटने वाला' (the one who scolds) versus 'प्यार करने वाला' (the loving one). A common phrase is 'क्लास में सबकी डाँट पड़ी' (Everyone got scolded in class).

Workplace and Professional Life: While HR departments might use formal terms like 'performance review,' employees in the breakroom will say 'आज मैनेजर ने बहुत डाँटा' (The manager scolded a lot today). It reflects the slightly more paternalistic nature of many Indian workplaces.

प्रोजेक्ट लेट होने पर क्लाइंट ने हमें डाँटा। (Project late hone par client ne humeñ dāṇṭā.)

On the streets, you might hear it during traffic altercations. If someone drives poorly, another driver might 'डाँटना' them. However, in these high-tension public situations, 'डाँटना' often escalates into 'बहस' (argument) or 'गाली-गलौज' (verbal abuse), so the word 'डाँटना' itself might be used later to describe the encounter: 'उसने मुझे बीच सड़क पर डाँटना शुरू कर दिया' (He started scolding me in the middle of the road).

News and Media: Courts in India are often described as 'डाँटना' (reprimanding) the government or officials. Headlines might read 'सुप्रीम कोर्ट ने सरकार को डाँटा' (Supreme Court scolded the government) when the court expresses strong disapproval of a policy or delay.

अदालत ने पुलिस की ढिलाई पर उन्हें डाँटा। (Adālat ne police kī ḍhilāī par unheñ dāṇṭā.)

For English speakers, the most common errors when using डाँटना stem from grammatical mechanics and choosing the wrong level of intensity. Hindi grammar for transitive verbs in the past tense is notoriously tricky.

Mistake 1: Forgetting 'ne' (ने): Since you are scolding someone, you are the 'doer'. In the past tense, you must use 'ने'. Many learners say 'मैं उसे डाँटा' (Incorrect) instead of 'मैंने उसे डाँटा' (Correct).

Incorrect: वह मुझे डाँटा। (Vah mujhe dāṇṭā)
Correct: उसने मुझे डाँटा। (Usne mujhe dāṇṭā)

Another frequent error involves the object marker 'को' (ko). In English, we 'scold someone', but in Hindi, you 'scold TO someone'. If you omit 'को', the sentence sounds incomplete or grammatically 'naked'.

Mistake 2: Missing the 'ko' (को): Always remember: Subject ने + Object को + Verb. 'पापा ने राहुल को डाँटा' is correct. 'पापा ने राहुल डाँटा' is incorrect.

Mistake 3: Confusing 'Dāṇṭnā' with 'Gussā honā': 'Gussā honā' means 'to be angry'. 'Dāṇṭnā' is the action resulting from that anger. You can be angry without scolding, but you usually scold because you are angry. Don't say 'मैंने उसे गुस्सा किया' when you mean 'मैंने उसे डाँटा'.

गलत: माँ ने मुझ पर डाँटा। (Mā ne mujh par dāṇṭā)
सही: माँ ने मुझे डाँटा। (Mā ne mujhe dāṇṭā)

A subtle mistake is using 'डाँटना' for physical punishment. 'डाँटना' is strictly verbal. If physical punishment is involved, words like 'पीटना' (pīṭnā - to beat) or 'मारना' (mārnā - to hit) are used. Mixing these up can drastically change the severity of what you are describing.

Mistake 4: Nasalization: Forgetting the 'Chandrabindu' (the nasal 'n' sound). Without it, the word sounds like 'Dāṭnā', which is not a standard Hindi word. The 'n' should be felt in the nose.

Hindi has a rich vocabulary for expressing disapproval. Depending on the intensity and the context, you might want to use a word other than डाँटना.

फटकारना (Phaṭkārnā): This is a stronger version of scolding. It implies a sharp, loud, and authoritative rebuke. It is often used in official contexts or when someone has made a serious blunder.

अधिकारी ने कर्मचारी को लापरवाही के लिए फटकारा। (Adhikārī ne karmacārī ko lāparvāhī ke lie phaṭkārā.)

Another interesting alternative is झिड़कना (Jhiṛaknā). This means to snap at someone or to brush them off rudely. It is less about a long scolding and more about a quick, sharp expression of annoyance.

खरी-खोटी सुनाना (Kharī-khoṭī sunānā): This is an idiomatic expression that literally means 'to tell the pure and the impure'. It means to give someone a piece of your mind, usually in a very blunt and honest way. It’s more of a dressing down than a simple scolding.

पड़ोसी ने शोर मचाने पर हमें खरी-खोटी सुनाई। (Paṛosī ne śor macāne par humeñ kharī-khoṭī sunāī.)

For a very mild correction, you can use टोकना (Ṭoknā). This means to interrupt or point out a mistake as it happens. It’s not necessarily angry; it’s more about correcting a behavior in the moment.

Comparison Table

डाँटना: Standard scolding (General).
फटकारना: Severe reprimand (Formal/Strong).
झिड़कना: Snapping/Brushing off (Rude/Quick).
टोकना: Pointing out a mistake (Mild/Interrupting).

उसने मुझे बात-बात पर टोकना शुरू कर दिया। (Usne mujhe bāt-bāt par ṭoknā śurū kar diyā.)

How Formal Is It?

Forgetting the 'ne' postposition in the past tense for a transitive verb.

小贴士

The 'Ne' Rule

Always use 'ne' with the person who is doing the scolding in the past tense. This is the most common mistake for learners.

Retroflex D

Make sure your tongue curls back to touch the roof of your mouth for the 'D' in 'Dantna'. It's not a soft 'd'.

Passive Voice

To sound more like a native, use 'Mujhe dant padi' instead of 'Usne mujhe danta' when you are the one who was scolded.

Synonym Choice

Use 'Phatkarna' for professional settings and 'Dantna' for family or casual settings.

Emotional Context

Remember that a scolding in India is often seen as an act of care, not just anger.

Nasal Dot

Don't forget the dot (Anusvar/Chandrabindu) when writing in Devanagari. It changes the sound significantly.

Tone Matters

The intensity of 'Dantna' can be conveyed through your tone. A loud voice makes it 'Zordar Dant'.

Mnemonic

Associate 'Dantna' with 'Don't-na' (Don't do it!) to remember the meaning easily.

Compound Verbs

Try using 'Dantne lagna' (to start scolding) to describe a sudden reaction.

Person-to-Person

Always use 'ko' for the person being scolded. 'Mummy ne mujhe danta'—the 'ko' is hidden in 'mujhe' (mujh + ko).

记住它

记忆技巧

Think of 'Dant' (tooth). If you do something wrong, someone might 'gnash their teeth' and 'Dantna' (scold) you.

视觉联想

Imagine a teacher pointing a finger (like a stick or 'danda') and shouting. The finger looks like the 'D' in Dantna.

原始含义： To punish or to use a stick (danda) for discipline.

Indo-Aryan

文化背景

Be careful using 'dantna' to describe a boss's behavior in a professional English context, as it might sound more personal than intended.

English speakers might find 'dantna' more frequent and socially acceptable in India than 'scolding' is in the West.

The movie 'Taare Zameen Par' shows the impact of constant scolding on a child. Amitabh Bachchan's 'Angry Young Man' characters often react to being scolded by authority. The proverb 'Guru ki dant, shishya ka bhagya' (A teacher's scolding is a student's fortune).

No, it is a neutral verb meaning 'to scold'. It is used in everyday conversation and is not offensive, though the action it describes can be unpleasant.

You can use it to describe the boss scolding someone ('Boss ne danta'), but you wouldn't scold your boss ('Maine boss ko danta') unless you want to lose your job! It follows social hierarchy.

Dantna is general and common for daily use (like a parent to a child). Phatkarna is stronger, more formal, and implies a more severe rebuke (like a judge to a lawyer).

You can say 'Mujhe dant padi' (I received a scolding) or 'Maine dant khai' (I ate a scolding). Both are very common.

In Hindi, transitive verbs in the past tense require the subject to take 'ne'. Since 'dantna' is transitive (you scold *someone*), it follows this rule.

In the past tense with 'ko', it usually stays 'danta'. In the present tense, it changes: 'Vah dant-ta hai' (He scolds) vs 'Vah dant-ti hai' (She scolds).

Yes, culturally, verbal discipline is quite common in families and schools and is often seen as a necessary part of upbringing.

Yes, you can say 'Maine apne kutte ko danta' (I scolded my dog).

It is a compound noun that means 'scolding and rebuking' in a general sense.

No, it is a nasal sound. It's like the 'n' in 'song' but shorter and integrated into the 'aa' vowel.
