문화적 배경

The concept of 'Udhaar' is central to the Indian 'Kirana' (neighborhood store) economy, where trust replaces credit cards. Historically, community lending has been a social glue in Indian villages and urban neighborhoods alike. It reflects a culture where financial help is often seen as a moral duty among friends and family.

💡

The Direction Matters

Remember: 'Dena' (give) is to lend, and 'Lena' (take) is to borrow. Don't mix them up or you might end up paying when you meant to receive!

⚠️

Formal vs. Informal

While 'Udhaar' is fine for personal loans, use 'Loan' (loan) or 'Rin' (ऋण) if you are talking to a bank manager to sound more professional.

What It Means

देना उधार or more commonly उधार देना is about lending. It is the act of providing something temporarily. Usually, this refers to money between friends. It can also apply to physical objects. You are the giver in this scenario. You trust the person will return it. It is a very common part of daily life.

How To Use It

The word उधार means credit or loan. The verb देना means to give. You conjugate देना based on the tense. For example, मैंने उधार दिया means 'I lent'. Use it when you are the one helping out. It sounds very natural in casual conversations. You don't need fancy grammar to say it. Just pair the object with the phrase.

When To Use It

Use it when a friend forgets their wallet. Use it at a local grocery store. Use it when a colleague needs your charger. It is perfect for small, everyday favors. It works well in informal settings. You can use it with family too. It implies a sense of trust and community.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use it for permanent gifts. If you don't want it back, don't say उधार. Avoid it in very formal banking. Banks use the word ऋण (rin) for loans. Don't use it for 'lending an ear'. That is a different expression in Hindi. It is strictly for physical or monetary items.

Cultural Background

In India, local shops often run on उधार. Regular customers have a 'khata' or account. They buy groceries now and pay later. This builds a strong bond of trust. Lending money to friends is also very common. It is often done without any formal paperwork. It shows you value the relationship over money. Just don't be the friend who never pays back!

Common Variations

The most common variation is उधार लेना. This means 'to borrow' or 'to take credit'. You can also say पैसे उधार देना for money. Another version is उधार पर देना. This emphasizes the 'on credit' aspect. In slang, people might just say उधारी. Use these to sound like a local expert.

사용 참고사항

The phrase is highly versatile and works in almost any daily situation. Just remember that the verb 'dena' must be conjugated to match the subject and tense of your sentence.

The 'Khata' Culture

In India, many people don't use credit cards at small shops. They simply say 'Khaate mein likh dena' (write it in the account), which is a form of 'Udhaar'.
