Hindi is a widely spoken language in the country and kind of helps in abiding all residents from all parts of the country. The beauty of any language lies in its words and some of the words are just so perfect that one cannot really do justice to it, when translated. These words are perfect in their own origin of Hindi and convey a deeper meaning, than when translated into some other language. On Hindi Diwas 2019, we look at some beautiful words from the language, which retain the feel, only in Hindi. Hindi Diwas 2019 Quotes: Famous Sayings On Importance of Hindi Language.

The celebration of Hindi Diwas involves various events and programmes highlighting the importance of Hindi as a language. September 14 is marked as Hindi Diwas because on this day in 1949, the Constituent Assembly of India had adopted Hindi written in Devanagari script as the official language of the Republic of India. Today over 250 million people speak Hindi as their original language. On this Hindi Diwas 2019, we look at some of the beautiful words of the language which may seem a little heavy on the ears (for those who do not regularly speak the language), but convey their meaning better in this language itself.

The drizzle of rain is such a happy sound, right? And this phrase pleasantly puts the sound of drizzling rain in words. No pitter-patter of the rain, can match to what Rim Jhim does.

Rainbow is such a commonly used word but did you know its Hindi word?

A word meaning unique sounds so unique in itself. It is like when you utter Advitiya, you feel you are referring to something beyond regular.

This word is present in many Hindi songs, but often do we pay attention to the meaning it conveys? To be seen or visible is a very common action, but the word Daras makes it insightful.

Did you know of this word before you heard the song from Bollywood film Tamasha? Loitering around, whiling away time seems a flimsy idea but replace it with Matargashti and everyone will ask you twice, what you meant.

Again a very commonly used word in Hindi songs, it conveys an action of whispering. It can often have a negative connotation like talking about someone or gossiping but as a word in itself, it doesn't sound that bad.

For those who do not use Hindi as their primary language of communication, these words seem too deep. Because, a lot of usage and exposure to the language comes from Hindi movies, series, songs and other media. So while we all listen, read or talk in the language, we pay little heed to some of these words as "words with meaning" in itself. The literary world of Hindi is too vast and we have listed down very few words. Feel free to share with us some of the best Hindi words and their meaning, what makes them distinct from the other usages.
