adjective
Synonyms: जन्मजात (janmjaat, more formal/literary), जन्म से (janm se, phrase variant)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: You will hear this word most often in slightly informal or spoken contexts describing a person's character flaw or physical trait as something 'baked in' since birth -- पैदाइशी झूठा (paidaaishii jhoothaa, 'a born liar') is a classic example, often said half-jokingly about a friend or relative who just can't help exaggerating.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes confuse पैदाइशी (paidaaishii) with पैदा (paidaa) alone -- पैदा (paidaa) only works in the fixed phrase पैदा होना (paidaa honaa, 'to be born'), while पैदाइशी (paidaaishii) is the standalone descriptive adjective meaning 'congenital' and is used to modify a noun directly, e.g. पैदाइशी अंधा (paidaaishii andhaa, 'blind from birth').
