Occupation vocabulary in Hindi
4. How to Ask Someone About Their Job in Hindi 🗣️
Knowing profession names is useful, but knowing how to ask about someone's work makes your Hindi conversations more natural.
Here are some of the most useful everyday questions.
Hindi | Roman Hindi | English |
|---|---|---|
आप क्या काम करते हैं? | Aap kya kaam karte hain? | What do you do? (Addressing a man) |
आप क्या काम करती हैं? | Aap kya kaam karti hain? | What do you do? (Addressing a woman) |
आपका पेशा क्या है? | Aapka pesha kya hai? | What is your profession? |
आप कहाँ काम करते हैं? | Aap kahaan kaam karte hain? | Where do you work? (Addressing a man) |
आप कहाँ काम करती हैं? | Aap kahaan kaam karti hain? | Where do you work? (Addressing a woman) |
क्या आप डॉक्टर हैं? | Kya aap doctor hain? | Are you a doctor? |
आप क्या बनना चाहते हैं? | Aap kya banna chahte hain? | What do you want to become? (Addressing a man) |
आप क्या बनना चाहती हैं? | Aap kya banna chahti hain? | What do you want to become? (Addressing a woman) |

आप कितने समय से काम कर रहे हैं? | Aap kitne samay se kaam kar rahe hain? | How long have you been working? |
Important speaking tip:
Hindi verbs sometimes change depending on the gender of the person being addressed.
करते हैं – Karte hain (masculine)
करती हैं – Karti hain (feminine)
चाहते हैं – Chahte hain (masculine)
चाहती हैं – Chahti hain (feminine)
This small difference makes your Hindi sound more natural and grammatically correct.
Hindi words for different professions
5. How to Talk About Your Profession in Hindi
One of the easiest ways to describe your profession is to use the following sentence structure:
मैं + Profession + हूँ।
Main + Profession + hoon.
I am a + profession.
Examples:
Hindi | Roman Hindi | English |
|---|---|---|
मैं डॉक्टर हूँ। | Main doctor hoon. | I am a doctor. |
मैं शिक्षक हूँ। | Main shikshak hoon. | I am a teacher. |
मैं इंजीनियर हूँ। | Main engineer hoon. | I am an engineer. |
मैं किसान हूँ। | Main kisaan hoon. | I am a farmer. |
मैं लेखक हूँ। | Main lekhak hoon. | I am a writer. |
मैं विद्यार्थी हूँ। | Main vidyarthi hoon. | I am a student. |
मैं एक कलाकार हूँ। | Main ek kalaakaar hoon. | I am an artist. |
मैं एक व्यवसायी हूँ। | Main ek vyavasaayi hoon. | I am a businessperson. |
Remember: Hindi does not require a separate word for English "a/an" before most profession nouns.
For example:
I am a doctor = मैं डॉक्टर हूँ।
Not a literal translation such as मैं एक डॉक्टर हूँ every time. Both forms are grammatically possible, but the shorter version is very natural.
6. Male & Female Profession Names in Hindi
An interesting feature of Hindi is that some profession names have separate masculine and feminine forms, while many modern and borrowed job titles remain the same.
Let's learn some important examples.
English | Masculine Hindi | Feminine Hindi |
|---|---|---|
Teacher | अध्यापक (Adhyapak) | अध्यापिका (Adhyapika) |
Writer | लेखक (Lekhak) | लेखिका (Lekhika) |
Actor | अभिनेता (Abhineta) | अभिनेत्री (Abhinetri) |
Singer | गायक (Gaayak) | गायिका (Gaayika) |
Dancer | नर्तक (Nartak) | नर्तकी (Nartaki) |
Student | छात्र (Chhaatra) | छात्रा (Chhaatra) |
Poet | कवि (Kavi) | कवयित्री (Kavayitri) |
Servant | सेवक (Sevak) | सेविका (Sevika) |
What about modern job titles?
Many words borrowed from English are commonly used for all genders.
Examples:
डॉक्टर – Doctor
इंजीनियर – Engineer
पायलट – Pilot
नर्स – Nurse
मैनेजर – Manager
The profession noun often stays the same, while the surrounding verbs and adjectives may change according to gender.
