This page lists the feelings words of the Jugti Kosh. ## How it's used 1. 1ਮੈਂ ਬਹੁਤ ਖੁਸ਼ ਹਾਂ੤I am very happy. _Good news_ 2. 2ਸਬਰ ਕਰੋ, ਸਭ ਠੀਕ ਹੋ ਜਾਵੇਗਾ੤Have patience, everything will be fine. _Consoling someone_ 3. 3ਉਹ ਗੁੱਸੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਹੈ੤He is angry. _Everyday speech_ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਅਰਥ ਭਾਵਨਾਵਾਂ ਦੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਬੋਲੀ ਦਾ ਦਿਲ ਹਨ੤ ਖੁਸ਼ੀ, ਪਿਆਰ ਅਤੇ ਸੁੱਖ ਇੱਕ ਪਾਸੇ ਹਨ, ਤਾਂ ਦੁੱਖ, ਗਮ ਅਤੇ ਗੁੱਸਾ ਦੂਜੇ ਪਾਸੇ੤ ਸਬਰ, ਉਮੀਦ ਅਤੇ ਚੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਕਲਾ ਵਰਗੇ ਸ਼ਬਦ ਦੱਸਦੇ ਹਨ ਕਿ ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਮੁਸ਼ਕਲ ਵਿੱਚ ਵੀ ਹੌਸਲਾ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਰੱਖਦੇ ਹਨ੤ Feelings are where a language shows its heart, and Punjabi is generous here. Alongside the everyday words for happy, sad and angry, it carries words shaped by the Sikh tradition of endurance and optimism: patience as a virtue, hope as a discipline, and a rising spirit even in hard times. Every word below links to its full Kosh page, where example sentences show how Punjabis actually say these things. ## The bright side **ਖੁਸ਼ੀ (khushi)** \- happiness, joy **ਪਿਆਰ (pyaar)** \- love, deep affection **ਸੁੱਖ (sukh)** \- peace, comfort and ease **ਸ਼ਾਂਤੀ (Shanti)** \- peace, calm, inner quiet **ਦੋਸਤੀ (dosti)** \- friendship ਤਰਸ (taras) - pity, compassion and mercy, the feeling that turns into help ## Strength to carry on **ਸਬਰ (sabr)** \- patience, calm and steady endurance through hardship **ਉਮੀਦ (Ummeed)** \- hope, the belief that something good will come **ਹੌਸਲਾ (hausla)** \- courage, nerve **ਹਿੰਮਤ (himmat)** \- courage, resolve **ਚੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਕਲਾ (chardi kala)** \- rising spirits, optimism held onto in hard times ## The heavy side **ਦੁੱਖ (dukh)** \- sorrow, pain and suffering **ਗਮ (gham)** \- grief, deep sorrow **ਉਦਾਸੀ (udasi)** \- sadness, low spirits **ਗੁੱਸਾ (gussa)** \- anger, temper **ਕ੍ਰੋਧ (krodh)** \- rage; in Sikh teaching, one of the five vices **ਡਰ (dar)** \- fear, the feeling of being afraid ਮੋਹ (moh) - attachment, clinging love for worldly things and people ਨਫ਼ਰਤ (nafrat) - hatred, intense dislike, the opposite of love ਈਰਖਾ (irkha) - jealousy and envy, pain at another person's good fortune ## Say it with a phrase **ਦਿਲ ਟੁੱਟਣਾ (dil tuttna)** \- to have your heart broken **ਦਿਲ ਭਰ ਆਉਣਾ (dil bhar auna)** \- to be overcome with emotion, for the heart to fill up **ਅੱਗ ਬਬੂਲਾ ਹੋਣਾ (agg baboola hona)** \- to flare up in sudden fury ## How to use these words The everyday way to ask after someone's feelings is not a direct translation of how are you: Punjabis ask **ਕੀ ਹਾਲ ਹੈ? (ki haal hai?)**, what is your state, and answer with a feeling word: **ਸਭ ਠੀਕ ਹੈ (sabh theek hai)**, all is well, or **ਥੋੜਾ ਉਦਾਸ ਹਾਂ (thora udaas haan)**, I am a little sad. The full guide to that exchange is on the [how to say how are you in Punjabi](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/how-to-say-how-are-you-in-punjabi/) page. Some of these words carry weight beyond the dictionary. **ਚੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਕਲਾ (chardi kala)** is not just cheerfulness: it is the Sikh discipline of staying in rising spirits whatever comes, and you will hear it as a complete answer to how are you. Its Kosh page tells the fuller story. ## How do you say happy in Punjabi? Happy in Punjabi is ਖੁਸ਼ (khush), and happiness is ਖੁਸ਼ੀ (khushi). To say I am happy, say ਮੈਂ ਖੁਸ਼ ਹਾਂ (main khush haan). ## How do you say I love you in Punjabi? I love you in Punjabi is ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂ (main tainu pyaar karda haan) from a man, or ਕਰਦੀ ਹਾਂ (kardi haan) from a woman. The full guide is on the [how to say I love you in Punjabi](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/how-to-say-i-love-you-in-punjabi/) page. ## What does chardi kala mean? ਚੜ੍ਹਦੀ ਕਲਾ (chardi kala) means rising spirits: the Sikh teaching of staying optimistic and buoyant even in hardship. It is used as praise, as a greeting answer, and as a way of life. ## Related words [ਖੁਸ਼ੀkhushiHappiness; joy](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/khushi/)[ਪਿਆਰpyaarLove; deep affection](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/pyaar/)[ਸਬਰsabrpatience: calm, steady endurance through hardship](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/sabr/)[ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਸਿੱਖੋPunjabi SikhoLearn Punjabi: the guided path for diaspora learners, from the Gurmukhi alphabet to real words and family talk](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/learn-punjabi/)[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/)[ਮੈਂ ਤੈਨੂੰ ਪਿਆਰ ਕਰਦਾ ਹਾਂMain Tainu Pyaar Karda HaanHow to say I love you in Punjabi: karda haan and kardi haan, and the respectful form](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/how-to-say-i-love-you-in-punjabi/)[ਤੁਸੀਂ ਕਿਵੇਂ ਹੋ?Tussi Kivein HoHow to say how are you in Punjabi: tussi kivein ho, ki haal hai, and the replies](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/how-to-say-how-are-you-in-punjabi/)[ਮੋਹmohattachment: a clinging love for worldly things and people](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/moh/)[ਨਫ਼ਰਤnafrathatred: intense dislike and ill will toward a person or thing](https://jugti.com/kosh/words/nafrat/) Sources (3) 1.
