Which one should you use?

The term अंतरदेशीय is another formal way to signify 'international'.

The spelling अंतरराष्ट्रीय is also widely used and is considered a standard variant of अंतर्राष्ट्रीय in modern Hindi.

antarrāshtrīya

The root राष्ट्र (rāṣṭra) used in the term does not only mean 'nation', but in ancient Sanskrit, it also shares a connection to the concept of a 'heap' or 'collection'.
The prefix अंतर्- can mean both 'between' and 'within', which can create a paradox where अंतर्राष्ट्रीय could technically be read as 'intra-national'.
In Hindi news and sports, अंतर्राष्ट्रीय is used for global events even if only two countries are participating.
