It does the careful work the big implements cannot: weeding, channels, bunds. ## How it's used 1. 1ਕਿਸਾਨ ਨੇ ਕੱਸੀ ਨਾਲ ਨਦੀਨ ਕੱਢੇ।The farmer removed the weeds with his hoe. 2. 2ਉਹ ਮੋਢੇ ’ਤੇ ਕੱਸੀ ਰੱਖ ਕੇ ਖੇਤ ਗਿਆ।He went to the field with a hoe on his shoulder. 3. 3ਕੱਸੀ ਨਾਲ ਨਾਲੀ ਬਣਾ ਦਿਓ।Make the water channel with the hoe. ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਰਥ ਕੱਸੀ ਕਿਸਾਨ ਦਾ ਸਭ ਤੋਂ ਵਫ਼ਾਦਾਰ ਸੰਦ ਹੈ। ਖੇਤ ਦੀ ਗੋਡੀ, ਨਾਲੀਆਂ ਬਣਾਉਣਾ, ਵੱਟਾਂ ਦੀ ਮੁਰੰਮਤ, ਹਰ ਕੰਮ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੱਸੀ ਕੰਮ ਆਉਂਦੀ ਹੈ। ਸਵੇਰੇ ਮੋਢੇ ’ਤੇ ਕੱਸੀ ਰੱਖ ਕੇ ਖੇਤ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਕਿਸਾਨ ਪੰਜਾਬ ਦੇ ਪਿੰਡਾਂ ਦੀ ਪਛਾਣੀ ਹੋਈ ਤਸਵੀਰ ਹੈ। ਕਹਿੰਦੇ ਹਨ, ਜਿਸ ਦੀ ਕੱਸੀ ਚੱਲਦੀ ਰਹੇ, ਉਸਦਾ ਖੇਤ ਹਰਾ-ਭਰਾ ਰਹੇ। ## Meaning ਕੱਸੀ (kassi) is the hoe, the short-handled, broad-bladed digging tool that is the Punjabi farmer’s constant companion. Where the hal opens the whole field, the kassi works the details: cutting weeds, shaping water channels, repairing field bunds, digging out a stubborn root. It rides on the farmer’s shoulder to the field and does the work the big implements cannot. ## Origin and etymology The exact origin of the word is not firmly established. It belongs to the old stock of Punjabi tool-words, and its meaning, the hand hoe, has been stable for as long as it can be traced. ## Cultural context If the tractor is the modern symbol of Punjab farming, the kassi is the older one: the silhouette of a farmer with a kassi on his shoulder, walking to the field at dawn, is among the most familiar images of rural Punjab. It is the tool of care rather than power, weeding by hand, guiding water along a channel, the slow maintenance by which a field is kept alive. In village speech a hard worker is praised as one whose kassi never rests. Long after the day’s ploughing is done, there is always something for the kassi to do, and that is rather the point of the word: farming as endless, attentive labour. ## What does kassi mean in Punjabi? ਕੱਸੀ (kassi) is the hoe, the short-handled, broad-bladed digging tool that is the Punjabi farmer’s constant companion.
