sikhlaate: teach

Description of sikhlaate: Sikhlaate is the present habitual form of the Urdu verb "sikhlaana," meaning "to teach," "to instruct," or "to make someone learn." Unlike rote memorization methods that emphasize repetition, sikhlaate implies guiding through explanation and practice. Differs from "padhaana," which focuses on formal schooling, as it conveys informal or experiential teaching. In poetry, like Majrooh Sultanpuri's ghazal "Humko junoon kya sikhlaate ho," it mocks pretentious lessons on passion.
