मोमबत्ती अभी मत बुझाना।

• मोमबत्ती = candle
• अभी = now / right now / yet / for the moment
• मत = don't
• बुझाना = to extinguish / put out

So the whole sentence means something like Don't put out the candle yet or Don't blow out the candle yet.

मत is the usual word for a negative command in Hindi.

For example:

• मत जाओ = Don't go
• मत बोलो = Don't speak
• मत बुझाना = Don't extinguish it

So in this sentence, मत is what makes it a prohibition: don't.

Hindi very often uses मत + verb in the -ना form for negative instructions:

• अभी मत जाना = Don't go yet
• यह मत कहना = Don't say this
• मोमबत्ती मत बुझाना = Don't put out the candle

This is extremely common and natural. It can sound a little less sharply direct than मत बुझाओ.

Compare:

• मोमबत्ती मत बुझाओ = Don't put out the candle.
• मोमबत्ती मत बुझाना = Don't put out the candle.

Both are natural, but मत + -ना is very common in everyday speech.

In this sentence, अभी most naturally gives the sense of yet / right now / for now.

So:

• मोमबत्ती अभी मत बुझाना = Don't put out the candle yet
• not Never put out the candle

The idea is: not at this moment.

Yes, the subject is omitted, and that is normal in Hindi.

In commands, Hindi often leaves out you because it is understood from context. So the sentence is basically saying:

• (You) don't put out the candle yet.

Depending on context, the listener could be:

• tum
• aap
• sometimes tu

The sentence itself leaves that unspoken.

Because मोमबत्ती is the direct object, and in Hindi inanimate direct objects often appear without को.

So:

• मोमबत्ती मत बुझाना = normal, neutral

You can sometimes hear मोमबत्ती को for emphasis or contrast, but it is not necessary here.

This is an important pair:

• बुझना = to go out, be extinguished
• बुझाना = to extinguish something, to put something out

So:

• मोमबत्ती बुझ गई। = The candle went out.
• मोमबत्ती बुझा दो। = Put out the candle.

In your sentence, बुझाना is used because someone is being told not to extinguish the candle.

Not specifically. बुझाना means to extinguish / put out in a general sense.

So it can cover:

• blowing out a candle
• putting out a flame
• extinguishing a fire or lamp

If you want to be more specific about blowing, you can add extra words, for example:

• फूँक मारकर मोमबत्ती बुझाना = to blow out the candle

But by itself, बुझाना is broader than just blow out.

Yes, मोमबत्ती is a feminine noun.

In this sentence, it does not affect बुझाना, because the -ना form does not show agreement here.

But in other sentences, gender can show up. For example:

• मोमबत्ती बुझ गई। = The candle went out.

Here गई is feminine because मोमबत्ती is feminine.

Yes, a little.

These are natural:

• मोमबत्ती अभी मत बुझाना।
• अभी मोमबत्ती मत बुझाना।

The meaning stays very similar, but the emphasis shifts slightly:

• मोमबत्ती अभी मत बुझाना focuses a bit more on the candle
• अभी मोमबत्ती मत बुझाना focuses a bit more on not yet / right now

Hindi word order is flexible, but not completely free.

Here are some common versions:

• मोमबत्ती मत बुझाओ। = Don't put out the candle.

  • direct, often for tum

• मोमबत्ती अभी मत बुझाओ। = Don't put out the candle yet.

  • direct, natural

• मोमबत्ती अभी मत बुझाइए। = Please don't put out the candle yet.

  • polite, for aap

• मोमबत्ती अभी मत बुझाना। = Don't put out the candle yet.

  • very common, slightly less explicitly tied to one pronoun form

Yes, very natural.

मोमबत्ती अभी मत बुझाना is a normal everyday way to tell someone not to extinguish the candle yet. A native speaker would understand it immediately.
