What It Means
This phrase is a direct way to share big news. Bahan means sister and shadi means marriage. The verb kar rahi hai indicates an ongoing process or a future plan. It tells people that a wedding is officially on the horizon. It is simple, clear, and carries a lot of emotional weight.
How To Use It
You use this when the wedding date is fixed. It works as a standalone sentence or a conversation starter. You can add a name before bahan if you have multiple sisters. For example, Meri badi bahan shadi kar rahi hai (My elder sister is getting married). It is a very versatile sentence structure for any A2 learner.
When To Use It
Use it when someone asks about your family updates. Use it at work when you need to apply for leave. It is perfect for a casual chat over tea with neighbors. You can also use it in a text message to a group of friends. It is the gold standard for sharing family milestones.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it if the wedding is just a rumor. Avoid using it if the engagement was recently broken. It sounds a bit too personal for a first-time meeting with a stranger. If you are talking about a male sibling, use bhai instead. Also, don't use it if you are the one getting married! That would be Main shadi kar raha/rahi hoon.
Cultural Background
In India, a sister's wedding is a massive community event. It is not just about two people; it involves the whole neighborhood. You will likely be expected to distribute sweets after saying this. The brother or sister of the bride has many specific ritual roles. Saying this phrase often triggers a flood of congratulations and questions about the menu.
Common Variations
You might hear Bahan ki shadi hai which means 'It is sister's wedding'. Another common one is Bahan ki shadi ho rahi hai. This version focuses more on the event happening to her. If she is getting married next month, you say Agle mahine bahan ki shadi hai. All these variations are friendly and widely accepted.
ملاحظات الاستخدام
The phrase is neutral and safe for all audiences. The key is the verb agreement—ensure you use 'rahi' for female subjects. Adding 'meri' (my) makes it sound more natural in conversation.
