राज़ी (raazii)

adjective An invariant adjective meaning 'agreeable, willing, consenting' -- most commonly met in the phrase राज़ी होना (raazii honaa) 'to agree/consent.'
Sense 1 : willing, agreeable, consenting
adjective Almost always used with होना (honaa) 'to become willing' or करना (karnaa) 'to make someone willing' -- rarely stands alone before a noun the way English 'a willing person' would.
Synonyms: सहमत (sahmat), मंज़ूर (manzoor, used mainly with होना/करना for 'accepted, approved'), तैयार (taiyaar, ready/willing, broader use)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: राज़ी होना (raazii honaa) is the everyday way to say 'I'm on board' or 'I agree' in casual negotiation -- haggling in a market, agreeing to a family decision, or settling a dispute all use this word. It comes from Persian/Urdu and carries a slightly informal, relational warmth: you're not just logically agreeing, you're personally on board.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often reach for तैयार (taiyaar) when राज़ी (raazii) is meant; तैयार is broader ('ready, prepared, willing') while राज़ी specifically signals agreement or consent to a proposal, request, or deal. 2) The person being persuaded takes को (ko): उसे राज़ी करना (use raazii karnaa, 'to persuade him/her') -- not उसको से or उससे.
