जगाना (jagaanaa)

Sense
1
:
to wake someone up
verb, transitive
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: Think of a mother saying सुबह जल्दी उठो, तुम्हें जगाने आई हूँ (subah jaldii utho, tumhen jagaane aaii hoon, 'get up early, I have come to wake you') -- waking the family up is a classic domestic morning scene in most Indian households, often done by gently shaking a shoulder or calling someone's name a few times.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners confuse जगाना (jagaanaa, 'to wake someone else up') with जागना (jaagnaa, 'to wake up oneself, be awake') -- जगाना (jagaanaa) always needs someone else as its object. 2) With ने-marking: जगाना (jagaanaa) is transitive, so the subject takes ने (ne) in the past -- मैंने उसे जगाया (mainne use jagaayaa, 'I woke him up') -- while its intransitive root जागना (jaagnaa) does not.

Sense
2
:
to arouse or awaken a feeling, memory, or state
verb, transitive Takes abstract nouns as objects, e.g. उम्मीद जगाना (ummiid jagaanaa, 'to awaken hope'), यादें जगाना (yaaden jagaanaa, 'to stir up memories').
Synonyms: उभारना (ubhaarnaa, to evoke/bring out), जगा देना (jagaa denaa, compound-verb variant)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This figurative extension is very natural in Hindi -- उम्मीद जगाना (ummiid jagaanaa, 'to kindle hope') or दिलचस्पी जगाना (dilchaspii jagaanaa, 'to arouse interest') are common in speeches, ads, and everyday pep talks, treating an emotion like something asleep that can be roused.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes default to जागना (jaagnaa) for this figurative sense too -- but only the causative जगाना (jagaanaa) works when a feeling or memory is being 'awakened' in someone.
