Q: How do you pronounce मज़बूत in Hindi?

मज़बूत is pronounced with the stress described below. In IPA it is written /məz.buːt̪/. It means “strong / sturdy.” muz-BOOT — nuqta z in the middle, a long oo, and a dental t at the end.

muz-BOOT — nuqta z in the middle, a long oo, and a dental t at the end.

मज़बूत /məz.buːt̪/

mazboot

A short closed syllable feeds a long one, so the weight is unambiguously at the end. That makes it easy to say correctly once you stop trying to give the first syllable an English-style stress just because it comes first.

Sound it out

maz m plus a bare schwa closed by ज़, whose nuqta marks it as a Persian z rather than the affricate j.

boot Unaspirated ब, a long ऊ, and a dental त — the tongue tip goes to the upper teeth, not the ridge, and the release is quiet.

"Yeh mez bahut mazboot hai" repeats the same nuqta ज़ twice — once at the end of mez and once inside mazboot — so the sentence is effectively a drill for that consonant. Both words are Persian borrowings, which is why the letter appears in both.

Where English speakers slip

Ignoring the nuqta gives "majboot," and pronouncing the final t as an English alveolar with a release puff pushes it toward ठ. The z should buzz cleanly and the t should be dental and almost silent — two opposite ends of the mouth, both needing attention.
