sikhaata: teach

Description of sikhaata: Sikhaata is the present indicative form of the Hindi/Urdu verb sikhaana, meaning "teaches" or "instructs," referring to someone actively imparting knowledge or skills. Unlike passive learning methods like reading, it emphasizes direct, personal guidance from a teacher or mentor. Differs from seekhna , as it denotes the act of giving instruction rather than receiving it. In poetry, Allama Iqbal's famous couplet uses it: "Mazhab nahin sikhaata aapas mein bair rakhna,"
