Andar (ਅੰਦਰ) means inside or within: a thing that is andar is on the inner side of a house, a box, a boundary or a heart. As a noun it is the inside itself, the interior, and its everyday opposite is bahar, outside. ## What does andar mean in Punjabi? Wiktionary's Punjabi entry, citing the Punjabi University Punjabi-English Dictionary, gives andar, written ਅੰਦਰ in Gurmukhi and اَنْدَر in Shahmukhi, in two jobs. As a masculine noun it means inside and interior. As an adverb it means inside and within, and Rekhta gives the same core senses: in, inside, within, inward, contained within an area, object or substance. Most of its life is spent after another noun, in the pattern X de andar, inside X: ghar de andar, inside the house, dabbe de andar, inside the box, pind de andar, inside the village. ## Where does andar come from? The word carries two old roots that met in the same shape. Wiktionary traces it from Old Punjabi andari, through Prakrit, to Sanskrit antara, and also as a borrowing from Classical Persian andar. The learned cousin antar, difference or interval, came from Sanskrit separately, which makes andar and antar doublets: one word for the space inside a thing, another from the same root for the space between things. ## How is andar used in everyday speech? Andar is the word of doors and thresholds. Andar aao calls a guest in, andar vadna is to enter or step inside, and the rain instruction of every Punjabi grandmother is the same: andar aa ja, come inside. It also turns inward to feelings: andar hi andar, inwardly, in secret, describes what a person feels but does not say, and dil de andar, inside the heart, is where Punjabi keeps whatever matters most. The derived adjective andarla means interior or inner, as in andarla hissa, the inner part, and andram is an inner lining. ## Related words [ਬਾਹਰBaharOutside, outdoors; also overseas or abroad, and as a noun the outside or exterior](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/bahar/)[ਘਰgharHome; house](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/ghar/)[ਦਰਵਾਜ਼ਾdarwazaA door or gate; the entrance barrier of a house, room or vehicle](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/darwaza/)[ਖਿੜਕੀkhidkiA window; an opening in a wall for light and air](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/khidki/)[ਰੋਜ਼ਾਨਾ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਬਦRozaana de ShabdEveryday Punjabi words: the essentials a beginner hears at home every single day, plus the question words when and why](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/punjabi-everyday-words/) Advertisement Sources (2) 1.
