अगला (aglaa)
adjective
A variable adjective meaning 'next' or 'following', used for time, sequence, and position; it also appears as part of a common set expression.
Sense
1
:
next (in time or sequence)
adjective
Synonyms: आने वाला (aane vaalaa, upcoming)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You will hear अगला स्टेशन (aglaa steshan, 'next station') on the Delhi Metro announcements constantly -- it is one of the first practical phrases most learners absorb just from riding around the city.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often reach for आने वाला (aane vaalaa) for every 'next', but अगला (aglaa) is the everyday default with days, weeks, months, years, and stops -- अगला साल (aglaa saal, 'next year'), अगला स्टेशन (aglaa steshan, 'next station'). 2) Remember it agrees like a normal -आ adjective: अगली बार (aglii baar, 'next time') takes the feminine form because बार (baar) is feminine.
Sample Sentences:
अगला स्टेशन कश्मीरी गेट है।
The next station is Kashmiri Gate.
(aglaa steshan kashmiirii get hai।)
