Indolent में 'डोलना' सुनिए: जो अपनी जगह से डोले ही नहीं। Indolent इंसान sofa पर पड़ा रहता है, काम कितना भी बाक़ी हो, हिलता नहीं। उल्टा: active, industrious।

Hear 'in-DOL-ent' as 'na dolna' (not moving). An indolent person lies on the sofa and does not move from his place, however much work is waiting. The opposite is active or industrious.
