दुबला 30秒了解
- Dublā means thin or lean.
- Used specifically for people and animals.
- Changes form to dublī (female) and duble (plural).
- Commonly paired as 'dublā-patlā'.
The Hindi word दुबला (dublā) is a primary adjective used to describe the physical state of being thin, lean, or slender. In its most literal sense, it refers to a person or an animal that lacks body fat or muscle mass. However, unlike some English terms that might carry a purely negative connotation like 'scrawny' or 'emaciated,' dublā is often descriptive and neutral, though it can lean towards indicating a lack of strength if used in specific contexts. To understand this word, one must first recognize its grammatical flexibility; it changes based on the gender and number of the noun it qualifies. For a masculine singular noun, we use dublā; for feminine singular and plural, it becomes dublī; and for masculine plural, it shifts to duble.
- Physical Description
- When you see a person who has a small frame or very little body fat, you would use this word. It is the most common way to say 'thin' in a general sense. For example, 'Vah laṛkā dublā hai' (That boy is thin).
- Health Context
- In a medical or health-related conversation, it might imply that someone has lost weight due to illness. However, it is also frequently paired with 'patlā' to form the compound 'dublā-patlā,' which is a very common way to describe a slim build without necessarily implying sickness.
"वह बचपन में बहुत दुबला था, लेकिन अब वह काफी तंदुरुस्त है।"
Culturally, in many parts of India, being dublā was historically seen with a bit of concern, as it might suggest a lack of resources or poor health. However, in modern urban settings, it is often used to describe someone who is fit or lean. It is important to distinguish this from 'patlā.' While 'patlā' can describe people, it is also used for inanimate objects like paper, cloth, or liquids (thin soup). Dublā is almost exclusively reserved for living beings.
"उसकी दुबली उंगलियाँ पियानो पर तेज़ी से चलती थीं।"
In literature, dublā is often used to evoke a sense of fragility or asceticism. A 'dublā-patlā' sage or a 'dublā' laborer tells a story of their lifestyle through just this one adjective. It is a foundational word for any Hindi learner because it appears in daily chores, medical visits, and storytelling alike. When you want to describe someone's physique, this is your go-to word before you move on to more complex synonyms like 'krish' (emaciated) or 'chharahrā' (slender/athletic).
Using दुबला (dublā) correctly requires an understanding of Hindi's gender-agreement system. Because it is an adjective ending in '-ā,' it is highly regular and predictable. Let's explore how it functions across different sentence structures and tenses. Whether you are making a simple statement or a complex comparison, the word maintains its core meaning while adapting its form.
- Basic Subject-Complement Structure
- In a simple sentence like 'The cat is thin,' the adjective follows the noun. 'Billī dublī hai.' Notice how the feminine noun 'billī' changes 'dublā' to 'dublī.'
- Comparative Usage
- To say 'thinner than,' we use the particle 'se.' For example, 'Rām, Shyām se dublā hai' (Ram is thinner than Shyam). The adjective still agrees with the subject (Ram).
"क्या आपको नहीं लगता कि वह पहले से ज़्यादा दुबला हो गया है?"
One of the most frequent ways you will encounter this word is in the reduplicated or compound form दुबला-पतला (dublā-patlā). In Hindi, doubling words or pairing them with similar-sounding words is a common way to add emphasis or a sense of 'and such.' When someone says 'Vah dublā-patlā hai,' they are describing a generally slim or slight physique. It sounds more natural and colloquial than just using 'dublā' alone in casual conversation.
"बीमारी के बाद वह बहुत दुबली दिखने लगी है।"
When describing plural subjects, the adjective changes to 'duble.' For example, 'Ve ghode duble haiṃ' (Those horses are thin). If you are using the oblique case (where a postposition like 'ko,' 'se,' or 'meṃ' follows the noun), the adjective 'dublā' changes to 'duble' for masculine singular nouns as well. 'Us duble laṛke ko dekho' (Look at that thin boy). Mastering these small shifts is the key to sounding like a native speaker.
The word दुबला (dublā) is ubiquitous in Hindi-speaking environments, from the bustling streets of Delhi to the quiet villages of Uttar Pradesh. You will hear it in various registers of speech, though its frequency and nuance might change depending on the setting. It is a word that bridges the gap between formal health discussions and casual neighborhood gossip.
- In Family Gatherings
- Indian relatives are famously observant of physical changes. You will often hear an aunt say, 'Are! Tum kitne duble ho gaye ho!' (Oh! How thin you have become!). Here, it usually carries a tone of concern, implying you aren't eating enough.
- In Bollywood Movies
- Scriptwriters use this word to establish character archetypes. A 'dublā-patlā' hero might be the underdog who eventually shows great strength. It is used to contrast characters, often paired with 'mūṭā' (fat) for comedic effect.
"वह दुबला ज़रूर है, लेकिन उसकी ताकत कमाल की है।"
In rural settings, dublā is frequently used to describe livestock. A farmer might complain about a 'dublī gāy' (thin cow) that isn't producing enough milk. In this context, the word is purely functional and describes the economic value and health of the animal. You'll also hear it in news reports or documentaries discussing malnutrition or famine, where it takes on a much more serious and somber tone.
"शहर की भागदौड़ ने उसे दुबला कर दिया है।"
Interestingly, you might also hear the word in proverbs or idiomatic expressions. While not as common as other adjectives, the concept of being 'dublā' is often linked to being 'kamzor' (weak) in older literature. However, in modern gym culture in India, people might avoid 'dublā' and prefer 'lean' (using the English word) or 'fit,' because 'dublā' still carries that slight vintage connotation of being underweight rather than muscularly defined.
Learning to use दुबला (dublā) might seem straightforward, but English speakers often trip over a few specific hurdles. These range from grammatical agreement to semantic range—knowing exactly which 'thin' to use when. Let's break down the most common errors so you can avoid them.
- The 'Inanimate Object' Error
- This is the #1 mistake. In English, we use 'thin' for both a thin person and a thin slice of bread. In Hindi, dublā is ONLY for people and animals. If you call a slice of bread 'dublā,' native speakers will understand you but it will sound very strange. Use 'patlā' for objects.
- Gender Agreement Neglect
- Many learners stick to the base form 'dublā' for everyone. Remember: 'Laṛkī dublī hai' (The girl is thin). Using the masculine 'dublā' for a woman is a glaring grammatical error in Hindi.
"गलत: यह किताब बहुत दुबली है। सही: यह किताब बहुत पतली है।"
Another nuance is the confusion between 'dublā' and 'kamzor' (weak). While a thin person might be weak, the words are not interchangeable. You can be 'dublā' but very 'shaktishālī' (powerful). Avoid using 'dublā' when you actually mean someone lacks physical strength or energy. Use 'kamzor' for that specific meaning.
"गलत: वे लड़कियां दुबला हैं। सही: वे लड़कियां दुबली हैं।"
Lastly, be careful with the word patlā. While patlā can be used for people, dublā is more specifically about the body frame. If you say someone is 'patlā,' it's fine, but 'dublā' specifically evokes the image of a lean person. However, if you're talking about a liquid like dal, calling it 'dublī dāl' would sound like you're personifying the lentils!
Hindi is rich with adjectives to describe various degrees and types of thinness. While दुबला (dublā) is the most common, knowing its alternatives will help you express yourself with more precision and poetic flair.
- पतला (Patlā)
- The most versatile alternative. It means 'thin' or 'slim.' Unlike 'dublā,' it can be used for people, objects, and liquids. If in doubt, 'patlā' is a safer, more general choice.
- इकहरा (Ikahra)
- This describes a 'single' or 'slight' build. It often refers to someone who is naturally slim but well-proportioned. It's a more formal or literary term.
- कृश (Krish)
- A highly formal, Sanskritized word meaning 'emaciated' or 'very thin.' You will find this in classical literature or very formal health reports.
"उसका शरीर इकहरा है, जो उसे एक एथलीट जैसा दिखाता है।"
For a more positive or aesthetic description of thinness, you might use छरहरा (chharahrā), which translates to 'slender' or 'willowy.' This is often used as a compliment, especially for women, to describe a graceful, slim figure. On the opposite end, if someone is unhealthily thin, you might hear हड्डी का ढांचा (haḍḍī kā ḍhāñcā), which literally means 'a skeleton of bones'—equivalent to 'skin and bones' in English.
In slang or very informal speech, you might hear people use 'tilli' (matchstick) to tease someone very thin. However, 'dublā' remains the most respectful and standard way to describe this physical trait. When writing, choosing between these words depends entirely on the 'vibe' you want to create: 'dublā' for a neutral fact, 'chharahrā' for beauty, and 'krish' for dramatic effect.
How Formal Is It?
趣味小知识
Even though 'dublā' comes from a word meaning 'weak,' many modern Hindi speakers use it neutrally just for appearance. You can be 'dublā' (thin) but 'shaktishālī' (powerful)!

词源
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'durbala' (दुर्बल). In Sanskrit, 'dur' (दुस्) is a prefix meaning 'bad' or 'difficult,' and 'bala' (बल) means 'strength.' Thus, the original meaning was 'weak' or 'feeble.' Over time, in Prakrit and then in Hindi, the word evolved to specifically denote the physical appearance of being thin.
原始含义： Weak or lacking strength.
Indo-Aryan文化背景
While 'dublā' is generally neutral, calling someone 'bahut dublā' (very thin) can be seen as a comment on their health. Use with the same discretion as 'thin' in English.
English speakers should be careful not to use 'dublā' for objects. In English, 'thin' is universal; in Hindi, it's specific to life forms.

It is a compound phrase that means 'slim' or 'of a slight build.' It is the most natural way to describe someone who is thin in casual Hindi.
