जारी (jaarii)
adjective
An invariant adjective almost always paired with a light verb -- रहना (rahnaa, 'to continue'), करना (karnaa, 'to carry out/issue'), or होना (honaa, 'to happen/be issued') -- to build compound expressions meaning 'ongoing' or 'to issue.'
Sense
1
:
ongoing, continuing
adjective Almost always used with रहना (rahnaa) to mean 'to continue/keep going,' as in बातचीत जारी है (baatchiit jaarii hai, 'the conversation is ongoing').
Synonyms: चालू (chaaloo), जारी रहनेवाला (jaarii rahnevaalaa, less common)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You'll hear जारी है (jaarii hai) constantly on news broadcasts -- बारिश जारी है (baarish jaarii hai, 'the rain continues'), बातचीत जारी है (baatchiit jaarii hai, 'talks are ongoing') -- it's the standard way Hindi news frames anything still unfolding.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often try to use जारी (jaarii) alone as a verb meaning 'to continue' -- it is an adjective and needs रहना (rahnaa) or होना (honaa) to function as a predicate. 2) Confusing जारी रहना (jaarii rahnaa, 'to continue,' intransitive) with जारी करना (jaarii karnaa, 'to issue,' transitive) -- the choice of light verb completely changes who is doing what.

:
issued, released (official documents, orders)
adjective Pairs with करना (karnaa) transitively (अधिकारियों ने आदेश जारी किया, adhikaariyon ne aadesh jaarii kiyaa, 'the officials issued the order') or with होना (honaa) intransitively/passively (आदेश जारी हुआ, aadesh jaarii huaa, 'the order was issued').
Synonyms: प्रकाशित (prakaashit, for publications), निर्गत (nirgat, formal/bureaucratic)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: This is the word stamped into daily bureaucratic life in India -- पासपोर्ट जारी किया गया (paasport jaarii kiyaa gayaa, 'the passport was issued'), नोटिस जारी हुआ (notis jaarii huaa, 'a notice was issued'). Government offices and banks use it constantly for official releases.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes mix up जारी करना (jaarii karnaa) with जारी होना (jaarii honaa) -- the first needs an agent with ने-marking (अधिकारियों ने, adhikaariyon ne), the second describes the document as the grammatical subject without an agent.
Sample Sentences:

The government has issued a new notice.
(sarkaar ne nayaa notis jaarii kiyaa hai।)
