The English phrase "sports news" is translated into Hindi as खेल समाचार.
What does it mean word for word?
The phrase खेल समाचार is composed of खेल, meaning 'sport/play' and समाचार, meaning 'news'.
Did you know?
- The Sanskrit root of समाचार (samācāra) originally referred to 'conduct' or 'behavior' before it became the standard word for 'news'.
- The word खेल is used in the popular phrase खेल खत्म, which literally means 'the game is over' but is often used idiomatically to mean 'it is all over' or 'the end has come' for a person's career or life.
- The term समाचार is much more formal than the common word खबर (khabar), which is used more frequently in spoken Hindi for everyday news.
