किराया बहुत ज़्यादा है।

A natural pronunciation is:

kirāyā bahut zyādā hai

A rough English-friendly guide:

• कि = ki
• रा = raa
• या = yaa
• बहुत = bahut or in fast speech often closer to bohut
• ज़्यादा = zyaa-daa
• है = hai (sounds a bit like heh or hai depending on accent)

So the whole sentence sounds roughly like:

ki-RAA-yaa ba-HUT zYAA-daa hai

Word by word:

• किराया = rent, fare, or charge
• बहुत = very or a lot
• ज़्यादा = more, too much, high, or excessive depending on context
• है = is

So literally, the sentence is something like:

Rent very high is.

Natural English:

• The rent is very high.
• In some contexts: The fare is very high.

This is a very common learner question.

In this sentence:

• ज़्यादा gives the idea of high / more than normal / excessive
• बहुत strengthens it, like very

So:

• किराया ज़्यादा है = The rent is high
• किराया बहुत ज़्यादा है = The rent is very high

Using both together is completely natural in Hindi. It is not strange or redundant.

Yes. ज़्यादा often literally means more, but in real usage it can also mean:

• too much
• excessive
• high (for prices, rent, cost, etc.)

So with money-related nouns, Hindi often uses ज़्यादा where English uses high.

Examples:

• कीमत ज़्यादा है। = The price is high.
• फीस ज़्यादा है। = The fee is high.
• किराया ज़्यादा है। = The rent is high.

So this is normal Hindi usage.

Hindi usually follows Subject–Object–Verb order, and the verb or linking verb often comes at the end.

So:

• किराया = subject/topic
• बहुत ज़्यादा = description
• है = is

That is why Hindi says:

किराया बहुत ज़्यादा है।

instead of English-style:

The rent is very high.

Putting है at the end is standard Hindi sentence structure.

Hindi does not normally use articles like a, an, and the the way English does.

So किराया can mean:

• rent
• the rent
• sometimes even a rent/fee depending on context

You understand the exact meaning from context.

That is completely normal in Hindi.

Yes. किराया can mean:

• rent for a house, room, apartment, etc.
• fare for transport, like bus fare, taxi fare, auto-rickshaw fare

So depending on context, this sentence could mean:

• The rent is very high
• The fare is very high

If you are talking about housing, rent is the most likely meaning.

You may hear similar expressions, but किराया ज़्यादा है is the more natural and common way to say the rent is high.

Why?

• महँगा is often used for things that are expensive
• ज़्यादा is very common for amounts like price, fee, rent, fare

So these sound very natural:

• किराया ज़्यादा है।
• किराया बहुत ज़्यादा है।

You should learn किराया ज़्यादा है as the safest everyday pattern.

Because ज़्यादा is commonly used as an invariable word here. In sentences like this, it usually stays the same.

So you say:

• किराया ज़्यादा है।
• फीस ज़्यादा है।
• कीमत ज़्यादा है।

Even though the nouns differ in gender, ज़्यादा normally does not change in this pattern.

That is why you do not need to worry about agreement here the way you might with some other adjectives.

Yes.

• किराया ज़्यादा है। = The rent is high.
• किराया बहुत ज़्यादा है। = The rent is very high.

Both are correct.

So बहुत is optional here; it just adds emphasis.

It is neutral and very natural. You can use it in everyday conversation without sounding too formal or too slangy.

It works in contexts like:

• talking about apartment rent
• complaining about taxi fare
• discussing prices in general

So it is a useful sentence pattern to remember.
