文化背景

During the Indian monsoon, high humidity causes wooden door frames to expand. This makes the phrase a seasonal catchphrase across the country. It also reflects a common DIY culture where people often struggle with aging hardware before calling a carpenter.

The 'Hai' Factor

In casual speech, people often drop the 'hai' at the end. Saying `Darvaza band nahi ho raha` is perfectly fine and sounds more native.

What It Means

This phrase is as literal as it gets. Darvaza means door. Band means closed. Nahi ho raha means is not happening. You are essentially saying the act of closing is failing. It is a very common observation in Indian households. You use it when a door is jammed. Or perhaps when the latch is broken.

How To Use It

You can say this to anyone nearby. It is a simple statement of fact. Just point at the door and say Darvaza band nahi ho raha. You don't need complex grammar here. It works for car doors too. It works for cupboard doors. If it swings and closes, this phrase applies.

When To Use It

Use it when you are struggling with a taxi door. Use it at home when the monsoon makes wood swell. It is perfect for telling a shopkeeper their trial room door is broken. You can even text it to a roommate. It sounds natural and direct. No fancy vocabulary is required for this one.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use this for metaphorical 'doors'. If a business opportunity closes, use a different phrase. This is strictly for physical objects. Also, don't use it if you haven't tried closing it. That would just be lazy! It implies an active struggle with the object.

Cultural Background

In India, the monsoon season is famous for this. Humidity makes wooden doors swell up. Suddenly, every door in the house band nahi ho raha. It is a shared struggle every July. You will hear neighbors complaining about it constantly. It is a small talk staple during the rainy season.

Common Variations

You can change the subject easily. For a window, say Khidki band nahi ho raha. Actually, for a window, use rahi because Khidki is feminine. For a box, say Dabba band nahi ho raha. The structure stays the same. Just swap the object and check the gender.

使用说明

This phrase is neutral and safe for all contexts. The only thing to watch for is the gender of the object (e.g., use 'rahi' for feminine objects like 'khidki' or 'almirah').

In casual speech, people often drop the 'hai' at the end. Saying `Darvaza band nahi ho raha` is perfectly fine and sounds more native.

⚠️

Gender Matters

Remember that `Darvaza` is masculine (raha), but `Khidki` (window) is feminine (rahi). Using the wrong one is a dead giveaway you're a beginner.

自我测试

Choose the correct word to complete the phrase for a door.

Darvaza ___ nahi ho raha.

✓ 正确! ✗ 不太对。 正确答案: band

`Band` means closed, which is necessary for this specific expression.

If you are talking about a window (Khidki), which is feminine, how does the ending change?

Khidki band nahi ho ___.

✓ 正确! ✗ 不太对。 正确答案: rahi

In Hindi, the verb ending must match the gender of the object. `Khidki` is feminine, so we use `rahi`.
