It is a masculine noun of Sanskrit origin. KhandBahale's dictionary gives ਕਿਸਾਨ (kisaan) as the Punjabi word for a farmer and a crop grower. ## What does kisan mean in Punjabi? Kisan means a farmer or cultivator, someone whose living comes from farming. Rekhta's dictionary gives the same core meaning: one who grows grain by ploughing the land, with farming as his occupation. The word is used across Punjab for the working farmer, whether the family owns its fields, rents land to farm, or grows a crop on shared land. ## How is a kisan different from a hali and a zamindar? The three words meet in the same field but name different places in it. A hali is the ploughman, the man driving the plough. A zamindar is a landowner, the holder of farmland, who may or may not work the soil himself. A kisan is the farmer by occupation: the one whose year, income and standing all turn on the crop he raises. ## How do you say farmer in Punjabi? Farmer in Punjabi is kisan. To say the farmer has gone to the field, say kisan khet vich gaya hai, and a farmer's year is spoken of through his crop words: khet for the field, fasal for the crop, kanak for wheat and jhona for paddy. The close Kosh word kheti names the work itself, farming or agriculture, while kisan names the person who does it. ## Related words [ਖੇਤੀkhetiFarming; agriculture](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/kheti/)[ਹਾਲੀhaliPloughman; driver of the plough](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/hali/)[ਜ਼ਿਮੀਂਦਾਰzamindarLandowner; holder of farmland](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/zamindar/)[ਖੇਤkhetField; farmland](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/khet/)[ਫ਼ਸਲfasalCrop; the season's harvest](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/fasal/)[ਕਿੱਤਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਬਦKittiyaan de ShabdPunjabi occupation words: tailor, potter, blacksmith, cobbler, goldsmith, carpenter, patwari and halwai](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/punjabi-occupations-words/) Sources (2) 1.
