If you describe an Urdu speaker as having a 'strong' grip on a subject, they might use the word پختہ (pukhta), which literally means 'cooked' or 'ripe'.
To describe a 'strong' taste or smell, Urdu speakers typically avoid طاقتور and instead use تیز ('teiz'), which literally means 'fast' or 'sharp'.
The word طاقتور is a linguistic hybrid composed of an Arabic root for 'power' and a Persian suffix for 'possessing'.
