निष्कर्ष
niṣkarṣ/nɪʂ.kəɾʂ/
The English word 'conclusion' is translated into Hindi as निष्कर्ष (niṣkarṣ).
निष्कर्ष is used to denote a decision, judgment or a result derived from reasoning or evidence. It is most commonly found in formal, academic or logical contexts.
Meaning: decision, judgment (noun)
What does it mean word for word?
The word is a compound of niṣ (meaning without/out of) and karṣ (meaning extract/draw), which literally translates to 'something drawn out'.
How do you pronounce it?
The pronunciation is /nɪʂ.kəɾʂ/. It has two syllables: niṣ-karṣ.
Did you know?
- The root karṣ in निष्कर्ष is a distant linguistic relative of the English word 'extract'. Both share an ancient Proto-Indo-European root meaning 'to draw' or 'to pull'.
- While निष्कर्ष refers to a logical 'conclusion', Hindi uses the word अंत for the 'conclusion' of a story or a movie. Using निष्कर्ष to describe the end of a film would sound like you are analyzing it as a scientific experiment.
- In spoken, colloquial Hindi, people often avoid the heavy Sanskritized निष्कर्ष in favor of the English loanword 'conclusion' itself, especially in corporate or academic environments.
