"Love" in Hindi
Hello everyone. Please, which is the difference between Hindi words: Prem, Mohabbat, Pyar, Priti, Ishk? I have found that they all mean Love, but, there should be a difference between them, na? Thanks.

Re: "Love" in Hindi
Mohobbhat: This is platonic love, something usually for family members

Ishk: This usually means to have fun, with friends, to hang out

Prem & Priti: I'm not too sure about these ones.

Pyar: This is used both for someone you are in love with (boyfriend, husband, wife, etc) or for your family members.

Re:Re: Love in Hindi
Mohobbhat abd Ishk are Urdu words, found there way in Hindi from Mughals in India.

Pyar, Prem and Priti are synonyms in Hindi. (Puse Hindi)
There are some restrictions in using these words in some sentences.

Eg. In English : Give him my love. (as in, send him my love)
In Hindi : Usko mera pyar dena, or, usko mera prem dena.
Here u cant use priti.

Mobobbat and Ishq are mostly used in hindi songs, they look fantastic.
