Word meaning in Hindi | 50 amazing words you should know!

Before we get into the word meaning in Hindi for the 50 words we have selected, let’s also learn why English is so widely used in India. 

History 101

Many people in urban India, even those in tier 2 cities, don’t use Hindi exclusively even though they’ve studied it. They are unable to read the Devanagari script, and prefer to speak ‘Hinglish’ or simply English for their convenience, especially in professional settings. 

The issue of language became a top priority for the Indian Constituent Assembly in 1946. Since the British rule, English was in use for all official matters because the posts were primarily occupied by Englishmen. But when Indians assumed various government positions after independence, many found it difficult to speak in English.

Hence, along with English, the assembly declared Hindi and the Devanagari script to be official languages. But decades later, these language appear to be losing favor in everyday conversation.

We are moving towards English but we must not forget the beauty and convenience in communication that Hindi brings into our lives. Plus, being multilingual will only add to our profiles as we study both the languages deeply. There are so many words in Hindi that we may no longer use in our daily conversations but should know about.

So here are 50 word meaning in Hindi you’ve probably never heard of. Take the challenge and figure out what they mean before you actually read the description and share your score below!
