문화적 배경
The word 'Dhyan' originates from the Sanskrit 'Dhyana', a core concept in Hindu and Buddhist meditation. While it once referred to deep spiritual absorption, it transitioned into common parlance to signify general alertness and care in a fast-paced society.
The 'Par' Connection
Always use the postposition `par` (on) with this phrase. You don't just 'pay attention something', you 'pay attention ON something' (e.g., `kaam par dhyan do`).
Don't confuse with 'Rakhna'
If you say `dhyan rakhna`, it means 'take care' or 'keep in mind'. Use `dena` specifically for the act of focusing right now.

What It Means
Dhyan dena is your go-to phrase for focus. It combines dhyan (meditation or attention) with dena (to give). Think of it as literally handing over your mental energy to someone. It is not just about hearing; it is about active listening. You use it when something deserves a spot in your brain.
How To Use It
You treat it like a standard verb. If you are telling a friend to watch out, say dhyan do. In a professional setting, you might use dhyan dijiye. It is very flexible with tenses. You can say you 'gave' attention (dhyan diya) or will 'give' it (dhyan dunga). It is like a volume knob for your awareness.
When To Use It
Use it when a teacher is talking. Use it when your mom gives you a grocery list. It is perfect for meetings when the boss says something crucial. You also use it when driving to stay safe. If you see a 'Mind the Step' sign, that is dhyan dena in action. It is the ultimate 'heads up' phrase.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use it for 'watching' a movie for fun. That would just be dekhna. Avoid it if you are just 'looking' at a sunset. It implies effort and concentration. If you use it for a casual glance, you will sound a bit too intense. Like you are meditating on a slice of pizza.
Cultural Background
In India, dhyan has deep roots in yoga and meditation. It is a sacred word for mental clarity. However, in daily life, it has become very practical. It shows respect to the speaker when you 'give' them your dhyan. It reflects a culture that values listening to elders and teachers. It is about being present in the moment.
Common Variations
You will often hear dhyaan se which means 'carefully'. People also say dhyaan rakhna to mean 'take care'. If someone is distracted, you might hear dhyaan kahan hai?. This translates to 'where is your attention?'. It is a gentle (or sometimes salty) way to pull someone back to reality.
사용 참고사항
The phrase is neutral and widely used. Ensure you conjugate the verb 'dena' correctly based on the subject and level of respect (do/de/dijiye).
The 'Par' Connection
Always use the postposition `par` (on) with this phrase. You don't just 'pay attention something', you 'pay attention ON something' (e.g., `kaam par dhyan do`).
Don't confuse with 'Rakhna'
If you say `dhyan rakhna`, it means 'take care' or 'keep in mind'. Use `dena` specifically for the act of focusing right now.
The Silent 'Dhyan'
In many Indian households, a simple pointed look toward a mess followed by the word `dhyan` is enough to tell a child they need to clean up without saying the full verb!
