Angrezi mein hum aksar “house” aur “home” sangyaon ka upyog ek hi cheez ke arth ke liye karte hain. “House” aur “home” dono hi rehne ki jagahein hain. Udaharan ke liye aap keh sakte hain,“main is saptah ke ant mein apni behen ke house ja raha hoon.” Lekin agar aap kehte, “Main is saptah ke ant mein apni behen ke home ja raha hoon,” woh bhi sahi hota. Toh aise kaunse udaharan hain jahan yeh do shabd arth aur upyog mein bhinn hain? Pata lagane ke liye padhe:

In English, we often use the nouns “home” and “house” interchangeably to mean the same thing. Both “house” and “home” refer to living spaces. For example, you might say, “I’m going to my sister’s home this weekend.” But if you had said, “I'm going to my sister's house this weekend,” that would be correct too. So what are the instances where these two words differ in meaning and usage? Read on to find out:

‍House‍

“House'' ko hum Hindi mein “मकान” bolte hain. Makaan woh hote hain jo chaar deewaron se banaye jaate hain. Isme jaruri nahi ki pura parivaar rahe, usme ek vyakti bhi reh sakta hai. Asan bhasha mein kahein toh makaan banane ke liye hum ‘ईटों, लकड़ी, सीमेंट’ aadi ka prayog karte hain. Yeh ek choti si imaarat hoti hain jisme logo ke rehne ka prabandh kiya jaata hai. 

‍Udaharan: ‍

We got a new house in Delhi.
Humne dilli mein ek naya makaan liya. 

Our house is at the end of the street.
Humara makaan gali ke ant mein hai. 

I want to build a house by the sea.
Main samudra ke kinaare ek makaan banana chahta hoon. 

She helped me clean the house.
Usne mujhe makaan saaf karne mein madad ki. 

There is a bus stop in front of my house.
Mere makaan ke saamne ek bus stop hai. 

‍Home‍

“Home” ko hum hindi mein "घर" bolte hain. Home wo jagah hai jaha naki sirf log rehte hai balki ham use apne bhavnao se bhi jodte hai. Jaha ham aapnepan ki bhavano ko mahsos karte hai usi ko  "घर" kaha jata hai. 

‍Udaharan:‍

This place reminds me of my home. 
Yeh jagah mujhe mere ghar ki yaad dilati hai. 

There's no place like home.
Ghar jaisi koi jagah nahi hoti.

How does it feel to be back home?
Ghar waapas aakar kaisa lag raha hai?

It’s not very big, but it’s my home.
Yeh bahut bada nahi hai lekin yeh mera ghar hai. 

Last night they stayed at home and watched TV.
Kal raat ve ghar par ruke and tv dekha. 

‍Home aur house ke beech 2 antar: ‍

Ghar (home) basaya jata hain, makaan (house) banaya jata hai. 
Ghar (home) logo se milkar banta hai jaha log pyaar ke saath rehte hai jabki makaan (house) ‘ईटों, लकड़ी, सीमेंट’ aadi se banta hai.

Apne doston ke saath angrezi mein un jagahon ke baare mein baat karne ki koshish kare jahan aapne “home” jesa mehsoos kiya hai ya ek doosre ke gharon ka angrezi mein varnan kare.  Yeh in shabdon ke upyog ko yaad rakhne ke liye ek accha abhyas hai.
