The word 'Sandesh' has deep roots in Sanskrit and was historically used for formal or divine communications. In modern India, it bridges the gap between traditional formal speech and everyday communication, often used to describe the 'moral of the story' in folklore.
The Hinglish Shortcut
In big cities like Delhi or Mumbai, people almost always say 'Message dena' instead of 'Sandesh dena'. Use 'Sandesh' when you want to sound more poetic or proper.

What It Means
Sandesh dena is your go-to phrase for delivering information. In Hindi, sandesh means message and dena means to give. Together, they cover everything from a quick WhatsApp ping to a profound life lesson. It is about the act of transmission. You are moving an idea from your head to someone else's.
How To Use It
You use it just like 'to leave a message' or 'to convey a message'. If you call a friend and their mom picks up, you ask her to sandesh dena. If you are watching a movie about saving the planet, you say the film is trying to sandesh dena. It is a versatile verb-noun pairing. You can use it with 'ko' to show who receives the message. For example: Rahul ko sandesh dena (Give the message to Rahul).
When To Use It
Use this in the office when a colleague is away from their desk. Use it at home when you need someone to tell your brother that dinner is ready. It is also perfect for discussing media, art, or speeches. If a politician gives a speech, people will discuss what sandesh they were trying to dena. It works whenever information needs to travel from point A to point B.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for 'chatting' or 'talking' in general. If you are just hanging out, use baat karna. Sandesh dena implies a specific piece of information is being delivered. Also, do not use it for 'giving a gift' or 'giving an order'. It is strictly for communication. If you are just sending a quick 'Hi', message bhejna is more common in modern slang.
Cultural Background
In ancient Indian history, sandesh was the word for royal missives carried by pigeons or messengers. There is a sense of importance attached to it. Even today, in Bollywood movies, a dying hero might have one final sandesh for his family. It carries a weight of responsibility. Interestingly, in Bengal, 'Sandesh' is also a famous sweet, but don't try to 'give a message' if you actually want to 'give a dessert'!
Common Variations
You will often hear paigam dena in poetic or Urdu-heavy contexts. In modern cities, people mostly say message dena using the English word. If you want to say 'to send', you use sandesh bhejna. If you are receiving it, you use sandesh milna. But sandesh dena remains the classic, standard way to describe the act of informing.
Notas de uso
This is a neutral collocation suitable for almost any setting. While 'message' is common in Hinglish, 'sandesh' is preferred in formal writing, news, and literature.
