दरवाज़ा अटक गया है।

This is a very common Hindi pattern:

• दरवाज़ा = the door
• अटक गया = got stuck / became stuck
• है = is / has

So the structure is basically:

subject + completed-change verb + present auxiliary

Hindi often expresses a change of state with a form like verb + गया/गई/गए.
So अटक गया है means something like has gotten stuck or is stuck now as a result.

It is not word-for-word English, but it is very natural Hindi.

अटकना is the verb, and it means things like:

• to get stuck
• to jam
• to catch
• to snag

In this sentence, अटक is the verb stem used in the compound form अटक गया है.

With a door, the sense is usually:

• the door is jammed
• the door has gotten stuck
• the door won’t move properly

Yes, गया by itself is the past form of जाना and often means went.
But in many Hindi sentences, जाना is also used as a vector verb or helper verb in a compound verb.

So in अटक गया है, गया does not literally mean went.

Instead, it helps show that:

• the action happened,
• the state changed,
• and the result is now in effect.

So:

• अटकता है = gets stuck / tends to get stuck
• अटक गया = got stuck
• अटक गया है = has gotten stuck / is stuck now

This is a very common Hindi pattern.

Because दरवाज़ा is masculine singular.

In this kind of sentence, गया/गई/गए agrees with the subject:

• दरवाज़ा अटक गया है। = The door is stuck.
• खिड़की अटक गई है। = The window is stuck.
• दरवाज़े अटक गए हैं। = The doors are stuck.

So the form changes according to gender and number.

It refers to a present result of a past event.

A good way to think about it is:

• something happened earlier: the door got stuck
• the result is true now: the door is stuck

So depending on context, English might translate it as:

• The door is stuck.
• The door has gotten stuck.

Hindi often uses this type of form where English might simply use is stuck.

Yes, you may hear दरवाज़ा अटका है too.

The difference is subtle:

• दरवाज़ा अटक गया है strongly suggests a change: it has become stuck
• दरवाज़ा अटका है focuses more on the current state: it is stuck

In everyday speech, both can work, but अटक गया है is very common when noticing that something has ended up stuck.

No, not really.

This is not like The door was stuck by someone.
It is more like an intransitive change-of-state sentence:

• the door got stuck
• the door became jammed

The door is the thing experiencing the situation, not a direct object being acted on in a passive construction.

The dictionary form is अटकना.

Some useful forms:

• अटकना = to get stuck
• अटकता है = gets stuck / gets caught
• अटक गया = got stuck
• अटक गया है = has gotten stuck / is stuck
• अटक गया था = had gotten stuck / was stuck

So if you look this up, search for अटकना.

A rough pronunciation guide:

• दरवाज़ा ≈ dar-VAA-zaa
• अटक ≈ uh-TUK
• गया ≈ guh-YAA
• है ≈ hai (like heh or hai, depending on accent)

A rough full pronunciation:

dar-VAA-zaa uh-TUK guh-YAA hai

A couple of notes:

• ज़ is often pronounced like z
• the ड़/ढ़ sound is not in this word, so दरवाज़ा is fairly straightforward
• in natural speech, the sentence may sound a bit smoother and faster than the careful breakdown

Because दरवाज़ा is the subject, not an object.

Hindi uses को for certain direct objects, indirect objects, and marked subjects in some constructions, but not here.

This sentence is simply:

• दरवाज़ा = subject
• अटक गया है = predicate

So no को is needed.

Both can sometimes be translated as got stuck, but the nuance can differ:

• अटक गया often suggests jammed, caught, or not moving properly
• फँस गया often suggests trapped, wedged, or caught in a tight way

For a door, अटक गया is very natural if the door is jammed and won’t open or close properly.

So:

• दरवाज़ा अटक गया है। = The door is jammed/stuck.
• दरवाज़ा फँस गया है। = The door is stuck fast / wedged.

There is overlap, but अटक is a very good choice for a jammed door.

Yes, Hindi word order is flexible, though दरवाज़ा अटक गया है is the most neutral and natural order.

You might also hear:

• दरवाज़ा तो अटक गया है।
  This adds emphasis, like The door, though, is stuck or As for the door, it’s stuck.

• अटक गया है दरवाज़ा।
  This is less neutral and sounds more marked or expressive.

For learners, the safest default is:

दरवाज़ा अटक गया है।

You would change गया to गई.

For example:

• खिड़की अटक गई है। = The window is stuck.
• चाबी अटक गई है। = The key is stuck.

So the agreement pattern is:

• masculine singular → गया
• feminine singular → गई
• plural masculine/mixed → गए
• plural feminine → often गई हैं in natural usage depending on the construction, though learners usually first notice the main singular contrast

The important beginner point here is that गया agrees with दरवाज़ा because दरवाज़ा is masculine singular.
