रद्द (radd)
adjective
A borrowed adjective meaning 'cancelled/void', almost always used with a light verb like करना (karnaa) or होना (honaa) to mean 'to cancel' or 'to be cancelled'.
Sense
1
:
cancelled, annulled, void
adjective Almost always appears as रद्द करना (radd karnaa, 'to cancel') or रद्द होना (radd honaa, 'to be cancelled/get cancelled') rather than standing alone as a predicate adjective.
Synonyms: निरस्त (nirast, formal), खारिज (khaarij)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You will hear this constantly in everyday civic life in Delhi-NCR: टिकट रद्द हो गया (tikat radd ho gayaa, 'the ticket got cancelled') when a train is delayed, or मीटिंग रद्द कर दी (miiting radd kar dii, 'the meeting was cancelled') in office chat. It is a Persian-derived loanword that sits comfortably in both spoken and official Hindi, unlike its more bureaucratic cousin निरस्त (nirast), which shows up mainly in written notices.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners try to conjugate रद्द (radd) itself like a regular adjective, but it stays invariant -- all the change happens in the करना (karnaa) or होना (honaa) that follows it. 2) रद्द होना (radd honaa) takes an intransitive frame ('the ticket got cancelled') while रद्द करना (radd karnaa) takes a transitive one ('I cancelled the ticket') -- learners sometimes use करना (karnaa) when they mean the thing cancelled itself, e.g. flights getting cancelled due to weather, where होना (honaa) is more natural.
