अधिग्रहित en 30 segundos
- Formal acquisition or purchase.
- Used for businesses, assets, land.
- Implies a significant transaction.
- Not for everyday buying.
- Core Meaning
- The Hindi word 'अधिग्रहित' (ad Higrihit) is an adjective that describes something that has been acquired, bought, or taken over. It implies a formal process of gaining ownership or control over something, often by purchase or legal means. Think of it as the past participle form of a verb meaning 'to acquire' or 'to buy'.
- Contexts of Use
- This word is frequently encountered in formal contexts, particularly in business, finance, and legal discussions. When a company buys another company, the acquired company is referred to as 'अधिग्रहित'. Similarly, when a government takes over private land for public use (eminent domain), that land can be described as 'अधिग्रहित'. It can also be used for the acquisition of assets, properties, or even intangible things like intellectual property. The key is that the acquisition is a deliberate and often significant act.
- Nuance and Connotation
- While 'अधिग्रहित' primarily means acquired, it often carries a connotation of substantial acquisition. It's not typically used for small, everyday purchases. The word suggests a more significant transaction, often involving large sums of money or strategic decisions. The process of acquisition can sometimes be complex and involve negotiations, legal procedures, and regulatory approvals. Therefore, 'अधिग्रहित' implies a completed action that has resulted in a change of ownership or control.
- Examples in Hindi
कंपनी ने एक नई तकनीक अधिग्रहित की है।
यह भूमि सरकार द्वारा अधिग्रहित की गई है।
पुराना कारखाना अब एक निजी डेवलपर द्वारा अधिग्रहित कर लिया गया है।
- Basic Sentence Structure
- The adjective 'अधिग्रहित' typically follows the noun it modifies, or it can be part of a predicate phrase. When used predicatively, it often appears after forms of the verb 'to be' (like 'है', 'था', 'गया है', 'की गई है'). The noun being described will agree in gender and number with the verb construction, if applicable. For instance, if a company (which is feminine in Hindi) is acquired, you'll use 'अधिग्रहित की गई है'. If a building (masculine) is acquired, it might be 'अधिग्रहित किया गया है'.
- With Nouns
- When 'अधिग्रहित' directly modifies a noun, it usually comes after it. For example, 'अधिग्रहित कंपनी' (ad Higrihit company) means 'acquired company'. 'अधिग्रहित संपत्ति' (ad Higrihit sampatti) means 'acquired property'. The context will make it clear what has been acquired.
- In Predicate Phrases
- This is a very common way to use 'अधिग्रहित'. It describes the state of a noun after acquisition. Examples include: 'यह भवन सरकार द्वारा अधिग्रहित है।' (Yah bhavan sarkar dwara ad Higrihit hai. - This building is acquired by the government.) or 'कंपनी ने अपने प्रतिस्पर्धी को अधिग्रहित कर लिया है।' (Company ne apne pratispardhi ko ad Higrihit kar liya hai. - The company has acquired its competitor.) Note the use of 'कर लिया है' or 'की गई है' which are passive constructions indicating the action of acquisition has been completed.
- Formal vs. Informal Usage
- 'अधिग्रहित' is predominantly used in formal settings. You're unlikely to hear it in casual conversations about buying groceries or personal items. It's reserved for significant business transactions, legal matters, and official reports. In informal speech, simpler terms for 'bought' or 'taken' would be used.
- Examples
नई सॉफ्टवेयर कंपनी अधिग्रहित की गई है।
यह अधिग्रहित भूमि अब सार्वजनिक पार्क का हिस्सा है।
उनका लक्ष्य बाज़ार में अपनी हिस्सेदारी अधिग्रहित करना है।
- Business and Finance News
- This is perhaps the most common place to encounter 'अधिग्रहित'. News reports about mergers and acquisitions (M&A) will frequently use this term. You'll hear about companies being 'अधिग्रहित' by larger corporations, or about specific assets or divisions being acquired. Financial analysts and business journalists rely on this word to convey the precise nature of these transactions. For example, a news anchor might say, 'आज, एक बड़ी टेक्नोलॉजी कंपनी ने एक छोटी स्टार्टअप को अधिग्रहित करने की घोषणा की है।' (Today, a major technology company has announced the acquisition of a small startup.)
- Legal and Government Documents
- In legal contexts, especially concerning property law, corporate law, and regulatory filings, 'अधिग्रहित' is a standard term. When land is taken for public projects (like highways or infrastructure), it's referred to as 'अधिग्रहित भूमि' (acquired land). Official government announcements regarding asset sales or takeovers will also use this word. For instance, a legal document might state, 'संपत्ति को सरकारी नियमों के तहत अधिग्रहित किया गया है।' (The property has been acquired under government regulations.)
- Academic and Research Papers
- In academic research, particularly in fields like economics, management, and law, 'अधिग्रहित' is used to describe studies of company acquisitions, market consolidation, or the impact of government takeovers. A research paper might analyze the performance of 'अधिग्रहित' companies post-merger or the economic implications of 'अधिग्रहित' resources.
- Formal Presentations and Speeches
- When business leaders, government officials, or legal professionals are giving formal presentations or speeches about significant transactions, they will use 'अधिग्रहित' to ensure clarity and precision. It conveys a sense of officialdom and importance to the subject matter.
- Discussions about Intellectual Property
- Acquisition of patents, copyrights, or other intellectual property rights can also be described using 'अधिग्रहित'. A company might announce that it has 'अधिग्रहित' a crucial patent that will enhance its product development.
शेयर बाज़ार की ताज़ा ख़बरों में, एक बड़ी बैंक द्वारा एक छोटी बीमा कंपनी को अधिग्रहित करने की चर्चा है।
यह अधिग्रहित ज़मीन का उपयोग एक नया राजमार्ग बनाने के लिए किया जाएगा।
- Using it for Small Purchases
- A very common mistake for learners is to use 'अधिग्रहित' for everyday purchases, like buying groceries, clothes, or a coffee. This word implies a significant, formal acquisition, not a simple transaction. For buying something small, you would use words like 'खरीदा' (kharida - bought) or 'लिया' (liya - took/bought). Using 'अधिग्रहित' here would sound extremely unnatural and overly formal.
- Incorrect Gender/Number Agreement
- Since 'अधिग्रहित' is an adjective, it needs to agree with the noun it describes, especially when used in a passive construction with verbs like 'करना' or 'होना'. For example, if a company (स्त्रीलिंग - feminine) is acquired, the phrase should be 'अधिग्रहित की गई है' (ad Higrihit ki gayi hai). If a building (पुल्लिंग - masculine) is acquired, it would be 'अधिग्रहित किया गया है' (ad Higrihit kiya gaya hai). Incorrect agreement leads to grammatical errors. Learners might mistakenly use a default masculine form for all nouns.
- Confusing with 'अधिकार' (Adhikar - Right/Authority)
- The words sound somewhat similar and both relate to control or possession in a broad sense, but their meanings are distinct. 'अधिग्रहित' refers to the act or state of being acquired. 'अधिकार' refers to a right, power, or authority. For instance, you might have the 'अधिकार' to use a property, but the property itself might have been 'अधिग्रहित' by someone else. Mixing these up can lead to complete miscommunication.
- Overuse in Casual Conversation
- Even if you understand the formal contexts, there's a temptation for learners to use sophisticated words in casual settings. However, 'अधिग्रहित' is too formal for everyday chats. If you were talking to a friend about how your favorite local shop was bought by a big chain, you'd say, 'हमारी पसंदीदा दुकान एक बड़ी चेन ने खरीद ली है।' (Hamari pasandida dukaan ek badi chain ne khareed li hai.) rather than using 'अधिग्रहित'.
- Misunderstanding the Passive Nature
- 'अधिग्रहित' often implies a passive action. It describes something that *has been* acquired. Learners might incorrectly use it in an active voice construction where it doesn't fit. For example, saying 'मैं कंपनी को अधिग्रहित कर रहा हूँ' (Main company ko ad Higrihit kar raha hoon) is grammatically possible but sounds very formal and perhaps a bit awkward for a direct personal statement unless you are in the midst of a formal negotiation. More commonly, you'd hear about the company *being* acquired: 'कंपनी अधिग्रहित की जा रही है।' (Company ad Higrihit ki ja rahi hai.)
गलत: मैंने एक नई कार अधिग्रहित की।
सही: मैंने एक नई कार खरीदी।
गलत: उस कंपनी का अधिग्रहित बहुत बड़ा था।
सही: उस कंपनी का अधिग्रहण बहुत बड़ा था।
- 'खरीदा' (Kharida) - Bought
- Meaning: Simple past tense of 'खरीदना' (kharidna - to buy). This is the most common and general word for buying something.
- Comparison: 'खरीदा' is used for all types of purchases, from a pen to a house. 'अधिग्रहित' is used only for significant, formal acquisitions, typically of businesses, large assets, or property by entities like companies or governments. You would never say you 'अधिग्रहित' a loaf of bread.
- Example: मैंने एक नई किताब खरीदी। (Maine ek nayi kitaab khareedi. - I bought a new book.) vs. कंपनी ने नई तकनीक अधिग्रहित की। (Company ne nayi takneek ad Higrihit ki. - The company acquired new technology.)
- 'प्राप्त' (Prapt) - Obtained/Received
- Meaning: Obtained, received, or gained. This is a broader term than 'अधिग्रहित' and can refer to receiving something through various means, not just purchase.
- Comparison: 'प्राप्त' is more general. You can 'प्राप्त' knowledge, a prize, or a grant. 'अधिग्रहित' specifically implies acquisition through a formal process, often involving ownership transfer. Something that is 'अधिग्रहित' is always 'प्राप्त', but something that is 'प्राप्त' is not necessarily 'अधिग्रहित'.
- Example: उसे पुरस्कार प्राप्त हुआ। (Use puraskar prapt hua. - He received the award.) vs. कंपनी ने अपनी सहायक कंपनी को अधिग्रहित किया। (Company ne apni sahayak company ko ad Higrihit kiya. - The company acquired its subsidiary.)
- 'अधिकार में लेना' (Adhikar mein lena) - To take into possession/control
- Meaning: A phrasal verb meaning to take something under one's control or possession. It can imply acquisition but is more about the act of taking control.
- Comparison: 'अधिग्रहित' is the resulting state or the formal act of acquisition itself, usually by purchase. 'अधिकार में लेना' is the action of taking control. A company might 'अधिकार में लेना' a competitor's assets before formally 'अधिग्रहित' the entire entity. 'अधिग्रहित' is more specific to business/legal contexts.
- Example: सेना ने क्षेत्र को अधिकार में ले लिया। (Sena ne kshetra ko adhikar mein le liya. - The army took control of the area.) vs. सरकार ने कंपनी को अधिग्रहित करने का फैसला किया। (Sarkar ne company ko ad Higrihit karne ka faisla kiya. - The government decided to acquire the company.)
- 'ग्रहण करना' (Grahan karna) - To accept/take up/absorb
- Meaning: To accept, take up, absorb, or assume. It can be used for accepting a role, taking on a responsibility, or absorbing something into oneself.
- Comparison: 'ग्रहण करना' is very broad. It can mean to accept a job offer, to take up a new habit, or for a country to annex territory. 'अधिग्रहित' is much more specific to the financial and legal act of buying or taking over something, especially a business or property. While an acquisition might involve 'ग्रहण करना' in a broader sense, 'अधिग्रहित' is the precise term for the business transaction.
- Example: उसने नई जिम्मेदारी ग्रहण की। (Usne nayi zimmedari grahan ki. - He accepted the new responsibility.) vs. यह कंपनी पहले ही दो छोटी फर्मों को अधिग्रहित कर चुकी है। (Yah company pehle hi do chhoti firmon ko ad Higrihit kar chuki hai. - This company has already acquired two small firms.)
मैं एक नई कार खरीदना चाहता हूँ।
कंपनी ने नवीनतम तकनीक प्राप्त की।
वित्तीय फर्म ने प्रतिद्वंद्वी कंपनी को अधिकार में ले लिया।
उन्होंने नई भूमिका ग्रहण की।

Origen de la palabra
The word 'अधिग्रहित' (ad Higrihit) originates from Sanskrit. It is formed from the prefix 'अधि' (adhi), meaning 'over', 'upon', or 'superior', and the root 'ग्रह्' (grah), which means 'to seize', 'to grasp', or 'to take'. The suffix '-इत' (-it) forms a past participle adjective.
Significado original: Literally, 'seized upon' or 'grasped over'.
Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit)Contexto cultural
While 'अधिग्रहित' itself is neutral, the context of acquisition can be sensitive. For instance, land acquisition can displace communities, and company takeovers can lead to job losses. The word itself is factual, but the events it describes can have significant social and economic impacts.
In English-speaking contexts, 'acquired' is the direct equivalent. The term is used similarly in business and legal fields. The Hindi word 'अधिग्रहित' carries the same weight and formality.

Generally, no. 'अधिग्रहित' is reserved for formal and significant transactions. While you technically 'acquire' a personal item when you buy it, using 'अधिग्रहित' would sound overly formal and unnatural. For personal property, 'खरीदा' or 'लिया' are the appropriate terms.
Companies, businesses, subsidiaries, assets, properties, land, technology, patents, brands, and other significant resources or entities can be 'अधिग्रहित'. It's usually something substantial that involves a change in ownership or control.
The word itself is neutral; it simply describes the state of being acquired. However, the context of acquisition can be positive (e.g., growth for a company) or negative (e.g., job losses, displacement of communities due to land acquisition). The impact depends on the specific situation.
The adjective 'अधिग्रहित' comes from the verb phrase 'अधिग्रहण करना' (ad Higrahan karna), which means 'to acquire' or 'to take over'. So, while 'अधिग्रहित' is the state of being acquired, 'अधिग्रहण करना' is the action of acquiring.

Yes, 'अधिग्रहित' can refer to intangible assets such as patents, copyrights, software licenses, brand names, or even customer data, as long as the acquisition is formal and significant.
As an adjective, 'अधिग्रहित' does not have a plural form in Hindi. Its agreement is usually with the noun it modifies, and in passive constructions, the verb form agrees with the subject's gender and number.
The best way to practice is to read formal Hindi texts (business news, legal articles), identify sentences with 'अधिग्रहित', and try to rephrase them. Then, try writing your own sentences in formal contexts, focusing on correct grammar and appropriate situations.
