पैंट (paint)

noun A borrowed word from English 'pant(s)', used for Western-style trousers as a single garment noun.
Sense 1 : trousers, pants (Western-style)
noun, feminine
Synonyms: पतलून (patloon, slightly dated), ट्राउज़र (traauzar)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: In everyday Delhi speech पैंट (paint) specifically means Western-style trousers, as opposed to traditional wear like पजामा (pajaamaa) or धोती (dhotii); school uniform contexts almost always use this word, as in पैंट-शर्ट (paint-shart, 'pants and shirt').
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often treat this like English plural 'pants' and expect plural agreement, but पैंट (paint) is grammatically singular in Hindi -- मेरी पैंट गंदी है (merii paint gandii hai, 'my pants are dirty') takes singular feminine agreement, not plural. 2) Gender is fixed feminine here (unlike variable-gender nouns) -- learners sometimes guess masculine by analogy with कमीज़ (kamiiz) or शर्ट (shart) patterns and get the adjective agreement wrong.
