A handy mnemonic to remember this word: dukhi probably stems from the same words as Sanskrit/Pali Buddhist-term "dukkha" - which means suffering or discontentment. If you remember "dukkha", you'll remember "dukhi"!
Yes. Both the Hindi दुख ('dukh') and Pali 'dukkha' come from the Sanskrit दुःख ('duḥkha').
दुखी is the adjectival form of दुख.
There's also ❤❤❤❤❤❤. If you feel like that you probably aren't feeling too great.
Some adjectives change form with gender while others have a single form.
दुखी (dukhi) belongs to the second category. It is always दुखी irrespective of gender.
It may be noted in passing that the American word dukey, variously spelled, is a child's word for excreta.
