Questions & Answers about ऋण की वजह से किराया ज़्यादा है।
Yes, in this sentence ऋण means debt or loan.
A learner should know that:
- ऋण is a bit more formal, bookish, or official.
- कर्ज़ is more common in everyday speech.
So this sentence is grammatically fine, but in casual Hindi, many speakers would more naturally say:
- कर्ज़ की वजह se किराया ज़्यादा है।
Both mean essentially the same thing.
Because वजह is a feminine noun, and the postposition phrase is built as:
- X + की वजह से = because of X
The की agrees with वजह, not with ऋण.
So:
- ऋण की वजह से = because of the debt / due to the loan
This is best understood as a fixed expression. Even if the first noun is masculine, feminine, singular, or plural, you still usually get:
- ... की वजह से
Examples:
- बारिश की वजह से = because of the rain
- काम की वजह से = because of work
- बीमारी की वजह से = because of illness
