What It Means
फेंकना कूड़ा is the most direct way to say 'to throw garbage.' In Hindi, we usually flip the order to कूड़ा फेंकना. It refers to the physical act of getting rid of waste. Whether you are taking out the kitchen bin or seeing someone litter on the street, this is your go-to phrase. It is simple, functional, and used by everyone every single day.
How To Use It
You will mostly use this as a verb phrase. To say 'I am throwing trash,' you say मैं कूड़ा फेंक रहा हूँ. If you want to tell someone 'Don't litter,' you say कूड़ा मत फेंको. Remember that कूड़ा is the object and फेंकना is the action. You can change the verb ending to fit the person you are talking to. It is very flexible and easy to plug into sentences.
When To Use It
Use it during your morning routine when the trash collector arrives. Use it at a park when you are looking for a bin. It is perfect for telling your roommate to help with chores. You will also see it on big signs in public places across India. It is a very practical phrase for navigating daily life and staying responsible.
When NOT To Use It
Do not use this for abstract concepts. If you 'throw away' a golden opportunity, do not use कूड़ा. Instead, use the word गँवाना. Also, if you are 'throwing away' a relationship, this phrase sounds too literal and weird. It is strictly for physical items like plastic, food scraps, or paper. Using it for people or feelings will definitely get you some strange looks!
Cultural Background
Cleanliness is a huge topic in India right now. The 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' or Clean India Mission has made this phrase very popular. You will hear it in catchy radio jingles and see it on colorful wall murals. In the past, people might have been more casual about littering. Now, there is a strong social push to use dustbins. It is a phrase that carries a bit of civic pride these days.
Common Variations
You might hear कचरा फेंकना in places like Mumbai or Delhi. कचरा and कूड़ा are basically the same thing. Some people also say कूड़ा डालना. This sounds a bit softer and more intentional. It is like saying 'to place the trash' rather than 'to fling' it. Both are perfectly fine, but फेंकना is more common for the general act.
Notas de uso
In standard Hindi, the object 'कूड़ा' always precedes the verb. While 'फेंकना कूड़ा' is the dictionary collocation, you will never hear a native speaker say it in that order during a conversation.

Don't be too blunt
If you tell a stranger 'कूड़ा मत फेंको', use a polite tone. Adding 'जी' or 'कृपया' (please) prevents a public argument!
