आरामदेह (aaraamdeh)
adjective
A single-sense adjective meaning 'comfortable, restful' -- describing things (chairs, clothes, journeys, climates) that give ease or comfort. Built from आराम (aaraam, 'rest/comfort') plus the Persian agentive suffix -देह (deh here means 'giving', not the unrelated noun 'body').
Sense
1
:
comfortable, restful, providing ease
adjective
Synonyms: आरामदायक (aaraamdaayak), सुखद (sukhad)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: You will hear this word a lot in ads and travel talk -- an आरामदेह (aaraamdeh) बस सेवा (bas sevaa, 'bus service') or गद्दा (gaddaa, 'mattress') is a common collocation. Its near-twin आरामदायक (aaraamdaayak) is used interchangeably in daily speech, so don't worry about picking the 'wrong' one.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes try to inflect this word like a regular आ-ending adjective (e.g. आरामदेही (aaraamdehii) for feminine/plural) -- it does not change form at all, regardless of the noun's gender or number. 2) It describes the comfort-giving quality of a thing (a chair, a bed, a journey), not a person's own comfortable feeling -- for 'I feel comfortable,' Hindi speakers say मुझे आराम है (mujhe aaraam hai) or आरामदायक लगना (aaraamdaayak lagnaa), not आरामदेह लगना (aaraamdeh lagnaa).
