राष्ट्रीय समाचार
/ɾɑːʂ.ʈɾiː.jᵊ sə.mɑː.t͡ʃɑːɾ/word by word
The English phrase "national news" is expressed in Hindi as राष्ट्रीय समाचार.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase is composed of राष्ट्रीय (rāṣṭrīya), meaning 'national' and समाचार (samāchār), meaning 'news'.
How does it change in a sentence?
The word समाचार (samāchār) is used in its singular form to represent the concept of 'news' in a collective sense, similar to how 'news' is uncountable in English.
Did you know?
- The word समाचार shares a root with the Sanskrit word for 'behavior' or 'conduct'. While in English 'news' implies new information, the Hindi root implies an unfolding of events or a way of proceeding.
- While समाचार (samāchār) means 'news', the word खबर (khabar) is also used frequently. The latter is a loanword from Arabic and Persian and is often felt to be more colloquial than the formal Sanskrit-derived समाचार.
- Hindi news broadcasts often use a very distinct, rhythmic style of delivery called 'news-speak' that uses more formal Sanskrit words than the average person uses in daily conversation.
