Questions & Answers about दरवाज़ा कसकर बंद कीजिए।
Why is कीजिए used here?
Because Hindi commonly says बंद करना for to close / to shut.
- बंद = closed / shut
- करना = to do
So बंद कीजिए is the polite imperative of बंद करना, meaning please close it or please shut it.
In this sentence, the full idea is please shut the door tightly.
What does कसकर mean?
कसकर means tightly, firmly, or securely.
It comes from the verb कसना, which means to tighten. The -कर form often turns a verb into something adverb-like, so कसकर means in a tight/firm way.
So:
- दरवाज़ा बंद कीजिए = Close the door
- दरवाज़ा कसकर बंद कीजिए = Close the door tightly / Shut the door firmly
