What It Means
जल्दबाजी करना (Jaldbazi karna) is all about that frantic, rushing energy. It isn't just about moving fast. It is about moving too fast. Think of it as the difference between running to catch a train and tripping over your laces because you were running too fast. It captures that specific moment when speed starts to compromise quality or safety. You are not just being quick; you are being hasty.
How To Use It
You use this phrase like any other karna (to do) verb in Hindi. You can tell someone जल्दबाजी मत करो (Don't hurry) when they are driving like a maniac. Or you can admit मैंने जल्दबाजी की (I hurried) when you realize you sent an email with five typos. It is very flexible. You can use it for physical actions, mental decisions, or even emotional reactions. It fits perfectly into almost any sentence where 'rushing' is the main action.
When To Use It
Use it when your friend is trying to finish their dinner in thirty seconds. Use it at the office when a colleague wants to sign a contract without reading the fine print. It is perfect for those 'slow down' moments in life. If you see someone about to make a blunder because they are impatient, this is your go-to expression. It is also great for self-reflection when you realize you messed up by being too quick.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this if you are just complimenting someone on being efficient. If a waiter brings your food fast, don't say they did जल्दबाजी. That sounds like they were messy! Also, avoid it in extremely high-pressure emergency situations where speed is actually required. In those cases, use jaldi (quick) instead. Jaldbazi almost always has a slightly negative or cautionary undertone. It implies a lack of 'shanti' (peace/calm).
Cultural Background
In India, there is a very famous proverb: जल्दी का काम शैतान का (Jaldi ka kaam Shaitan ka), which means 'Haste is the Devil's work.' This phrase जल्दबाजी करना is the living embodiment of that proverb. Indian culture often values patience and 'thehraav' (steadiness). While modern city life in Delhi or Mumbai is incredibly fast-paced, the language still holds onto this cautionary phrase to remind people to breathe. It’s a linguistic speed bump.
Common Variations
The most common variation is simply जल्दी करना (Jaldi karna), which is more neutral and just means 'to hurry.' If you want to sound more intense, you can use हड़बड़ाहट (Hadbadahat), which means 'panic-stricken hurry.' In very formal Hindi, you might hear शीघ्रता करना (Sheeghrata karna), but you’ll mostly hear that on the news or in old books. Stick to जल्दबाजी for daily life!
Notas de uso
The phrase is neutral and safe for all contexts. However, remember that it carries a connotation of 'reckless speed' rather than 'efficient speed.'
The 'Mat' Rule
When telling someone 'Don't hurry', always use 'Mat' (मत) instead of 'Nahi'. Say 'Jaldbazi mat karo' for a natural sound.
Don't use for 'Efficiency'
If someone is doing a great job quickly, calling it 'Jaldbazi' might offend them as it implies they are being careless.
The Devil's Work
If you want to sound like a local expert, follow up 'Jaldbazi mat karo' with the proverb 'Jaldi ka kaam Shaitan ka'!

Preguntas frecuentes
10 preguntasJaldi is neutral and just means fast or early. Jaldbazi is usually negative and means rushing in a way that causes mistakes.
Yes, it is a neutral phrase. You can say Hamein jaldabazi nahi karni chahiye (We shouldn't rush) in a professional meeting.
Jaldbazi is a noun meaning 'haste.' When you add karna (to do), it becomes a verb phrase meaning 'to hurry.'
For that, it is better to say Main jaldi mein hoon. Jaldbazi is more about the *action* of rushing rather than the *state* of being late.
People often use Hadhbadi in informal slang to describe a panicked hurry, like Hadhbadi mein bhool gaya.
Rarely. It almost always implies that the speed is a bit too much or unnecessary.
The opposite would be Shanti se kaam karna (working calmly) or Dhairya rakhna (having patience).
The word Jaldbazi is feminine, but since it's used with karna, the verb changes based on the subject. For example, Usne (male) jaldbazi ki.
Usually, you'd say Jaldi karo to tell someone to hurry up. Jaldbazi karo would sound like you are telling them to be reckless!
Extremely! You'll often hear characters saying Jaldbazi mein galat faisla mat lena (Don't take a wrong decision in haste).
