रोज़ाना (rozaanaa)
adverb/adjective
Built on रोज़ (roz, 'day'), रोज़ाना (rozaanaa) covers both 'daily/every day' as an adverb and 'daily' as an adjective describing a habitual or recurring thing.
Sense
1
:
every day, daily (frequency of an action)
adverb
Synonyms: हर रोज़ (har roz), हर दिन (har din), प्रतिदिन (pratidin, formal)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: This is the word you will hear a mother in Delhi use when scolding a kid about homework: तुम्हें रोज़ाना पढ़ना चाहिए (tumhen rozaanaa padhnaa chaahie, 'you should study every day'). It sits comfortably in casual speech, unlike its more formal cousin प्रतिदिन (pratidin), which shows up on notice boards and news broadcasts.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes place रोज़ाना (rozaanaa) at the very end of the sentence as English speakers do with 'daily' -- in natural Hindi it usually sits right before the verb phrase, e.g. मैं रोज़ाना जिम जाता हूँ (main rozaanaa jim jaataa hoon, 'I go to the gym daily'), not जाता हूँ रोज़ाना.
Sample Sentences:
तुम्हें रोज़ाना पढ़ना चाहिए।
You should study every day.
(tumhen rozaanaa padhnaa chaahie।)

Sense
2
:
daily, occurring every day (describing a noun)
adjective Invariant adjective -- does not change form for the gender or number of the noun it modifies, e.g. रोज़ाना काम (rozaanaa kaam, 'daily work') and रोज़ाना ज़िंदगी (rozaanaa zindgii, 'daily life') both keep the same ending.
Synonyms: दैनिक (dainik, formal)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: You will see this on a newspaper masthead or a diary cover: रोज़ाना अखबार (rozaanaa akhbaar, 'daily newspaper'). It is the everyday partner of the more bureaucratic-sounding दैनिक (dainik), which is what actually gets printed in the paper's name (like दैनिक भास्कर (dainik bhaaskar)) even though people describe it in speech with रोज़ाना (rozaanaa).
Common Mistakes: 1) Because most adjectives ending in आ (aa) inflect (like कड़ा (kadaa)), learners sometimes wrongly write रोज़ानी or रोज़ाने to agree with a feminine or plural noun -- रोज़ाना (rozaanaa) never changes.
Sample Sentences:
मुझे रोज़ाना अखबार पढ़ने की आदत है।
I have a habit of reading the daily newspaper.
(mujhe rozaanaa akhbaar padhne kii aadat hai।)
