आतिथ्य करना در ۳۰ ثانیه
- A formal verb meaning to host or offer hospitality to guests.
- Rooted in the Sanskrit word 'Atithi' (guest), implying deep respect.
- Used in formal social, literary, and professional contexts in Hindi.
- Follows the 'ka aatithya karna' grammatical structure for the object.
The Hindi verb आतिथ्य करना (aatithya karnā) is a sophisticated and culturally resonant term that translates to 'to host,' 'to offer hospitality,' or 'to entertain guests.' Rooted deeply in the ancient Sanskrit ethos of the Indian subcontinent, it represents more than just the act of providing food or shelter; it embodies the spiritual and social obligation to treat a guest with the highest level of reverence. In the CEFR B2 context, this word is essential for learners who wish to move beyond basic conversational Hindi and enter the realm of formal social etiquette and literary expression. While everyday Hindi might use 'मेहमाननवाज़ी' (mehmānnawāzī), which has Persian roots, 'आतिथ्य' carries a classical, formal, and often more profound weight.
- Etymological Breakdown
- The word is derived from 'अतिथि' (atithi), meaning guest. In Sanskrit, 'a-tithi' literally means 'someone who arrives without a fixed date or time.' The suffix '-ya' transforms it into the noun 'hospitality,' and adding 'karnā' (to do) creates the compound verb.
भारतीय संस्कृति में, हम प्रत्येक आगंतुक का भावपूर्ण आतिथ्य करना अपना परम धर्म मानते हैं। (In Indian culture, we consider it our supreme duty to offer heartfelt hospitality to every visitor.)
You will encounter this term in formal invitations, literature, news reports regarding state visits, and high-register social gatherings. It is frequently associated with the phrase 'अतिथि देवो भव' (The guest is God). When you use this word, you are signaling a deep understanding of Indian social values. It isn't just about 'hosting a party'; it is about the 'act of hosting' as a virtue. For instance, if a King hosts a neighboring ruler, the chronicler would use 'आतिथ्य करना' to describe the elaborate rituals and respect shown. In a modern context, a luxury hotel might use this term in their mission statement to emphasize their commitment to traditional Indian service standards.
- Register and Nuance
- The register is 'Tatsama' (Sanskrit-derived), making it ideal for academic writing, formal speeches, and classical literature. It suggests a structured, respectful, and perhaps even ceremonial approach to hosting.
प्रधानमंत्री ने विदेशी प्रतिनिधिमंडल का शानदार आतिथ्य किया। (The Prime Minister offered magnificent hospitality to the foreign delegation.)
Beyond the physical acts of serving food or providing a bed, 'आतिथ्य करना' encompasses the emotional and spiritual warmth extended to a guest. It involves making the guest feel at home, ensuring their comfort, and prioritizing their needs above one's own. In the B2 level, you should be able to distinguish this from 'स्वागत करना' (to welcome). While 'स्वागत' is the initial act of greeting at the door, 'आतिथ्य' is the entire duration of care and service provided during the stay. It is a continuous action, often spanning several days or the entirety of an event.
Using आतिथ्य करना requires an understanding of compound verb structures in Hindi. Since it is a 'karnā' (to do) verb, the gender and number of the object usually don't change the verb ending unless it is in the perfective aspect with 'ne'. However, 'आतिथ्य' itself is a masculine noun. Let's look at the grammatical nuances across different tenses and moods to ensure you can use it accurately in complex sentences.
- Direct Object Usage
- Typically, you host 'someone' (ka). The structure is: [Host] + [Guest] + 'का' (kā) + 'आतिथ्य करना'. For example: 'हम आपका आतिथ्य करेंगे' (We will host you).
क्या आप हमारे घर आकर हमारा आतिथ्य स्वीकार करेंगे? (Will you come to our home and accept our hospitality?) Note: Here it's used as a noun phrase, but the action is implied.
In the past tense (Perfective Aspect), the subject takes the 'ne' particle. Example: 'उन्होंने हमारा बहुत अच्छा आतिथ्य किया' (They hosted us very well). Notice that 'kiya' is masculine singular to agree with 'aatithya'. If you are speaking about a habitual action in the present, you would say: 'वे हमेशा अपने मेहमानों का दिल खोलकर आतिथ्य करते हैं' (They always host their guests with an open heart). This shows the consistency of the action. In the future tense, it becomes 'करूँगा/करूँगी' (will do), 'करेंगे' (will do - plural/formal). For example: 'अगले महीने हम एक बड़े सम्मेलन का आतिथ्य करेंगे' (Next month we will host a large conference).
Furthermore, you can modify the verb with adverbs to describe the quality of the hospitality. Common modifiers include 'भव्य' (grand), 'विनम्र' (humble), 'अभूतपूर्व' (unprecedented), and 'निस्वार्थ' (selfless). For instance: 'गाँव वालों ने शहर से आए यात्रियों का निस्वार्थ आतिथ्य किया' (The villagers offered selfless hospitality to the travelers from the city). This adds layers of meaning to your sentence, moving you into the C1 territory by showing precision in your descriptions. You can also use it in the passive voice or as a verbal noun (gerund): 'अतिथियों का आतिथ्य करना हमारी परंपरा है' (Hosting guests is our tradition).
- Modal Verbs
- Combine it with 'chahiye' (should) or 'sakna' (can). 'हमें उनका आतिथ्य करना चाहिए' (We should host them). 'मैं आपका आतिथ्य नहीं कर सका' (I could not host you).
While you might not hear a teenager saying 'आतिथ्य करना' while inviting a friend over for a video game session, you will definitely hear it in contexts where decorum and tradition are paramount. It is a staple of the Indian hospitality industry, the diplomatic corps, and traditional family narratives. Understanding these contexts helps you use the word without sounding unnaturally formal or inappropriately casual.
- The Tourism and Hotel Industry
- In luxury hotels (like the Taj or Oberoi groups), the staff is trained in the art of 'aatithya'. You will see this word on brochures: 'हम भारतीय आतिथ्य की परंपरा को जीवित रखते हैं' (We keep the tradition of Indian hospitality alive).
राजभवन में आयोजित रात्रिभोज में राज्यपाल ने विदेशी राजदूतों का आतिथ्य किया। (At the dinner organized at the Raj Bhavan, the Governor hosted the foreign ambassadors.)
In literature and historical dramas, this word is used to highlight the character of a host. A 'noble' character is often described by how well they 'aatithya karte hain' even for their enemies. This reflects the 'Dharma' of a householder. If you are watching a Bollywood film set in a royal palace or a traditional Rajasthani village, listen for this word during scenes of arrival and feasting. It emphasizes the 'Maryada' (dignity) of the host. In news broadcasts, when a head of state visits India, the commentator will invariably use this term to describe the official welcome and state banquet.
Furthermore, in religious discourses (Pravachan), gurus often speak about the 'aatithya' offered by mythological figures like Shabari to Lord Rama or Sudama to Krishna. Here, the word takes on a spiritual dimension, representing total surrender and love. By using this word in your own Hindi, you tap into these centuries-old connotations of warmth and duty. It is also used in the corporate world for 'Corporate Hospitality' – hosting clients at events or meetings. 'हमारी कंपनी इस साल के अंतरराष्ट्रीय सेमिनार का आतिथ्य कर रही है' (Our company is hosting this year's international seminar).
For English speakers, the primary challenge with आतिथ्य करना lies in its formality and its grammatical structure. Because 'hospitality' is an abstract noun in English, learners often try to translate 'to host' literally using other verbs that might not fit the cultural weight of 'aatithya'. Here are the most common pitfalls to avoid.
- Confusion with 'स्वागत करना' (Swagat Karna)
- 'Swagat karna' means 'to welcome'. This is a one-time action at the point of entry. 'Aatithya karna' is the ongoing process of looking after the guest. You welcome a guest at the door, but you host them throughout their stay.
Incorrect: मैंने स्टेशन पर उनका आतिथ्य किया। (I hosted them at the station - sounds odd). Correct: मैंने स्टेशन पर उनका स्वागत किया। (I welcomed them at the station.)
Another mistake is using the wrong postposition. In Hindi, you do the 'aatithya' *of* someone (ka/ke/ki). Learners often try to say 'unko aatithya kiya' (hosted to them), which is grammatically incorrect. It must be 'उनका आतिथ्य किया' (did the hospitality of them). Additionally, learners sometimes confuse 'आतिथ्य' with 'अतिथि'. Remember: 'अतिथि' is the person (guest), and 'आतिथ्य' is the service (hospitality). You cannot 'aatithya' a guest; you 'do the aatithya' of a guest.
Finally, watch out for the pronunciation. The 'th' in 'aatithya' is an aspirated dental sound (like in 'thunder' but with the tongue against the teeth), not a hard 't' or a 'th' as in 'the'. Mispronouncing it can sometimes make it sound like 'aatitya', which is meaningless. Also, ensure the 'ya' at the end is distinct. Many learners drop the final 'a' sound, making it sound clipped. Proper pronunciation is key to maintaining the formal elegance that the word carries.
Hindi has a rich vocabulary for social interactions, and depending on the level of formality and the cultural background (Sanskrit vs. Persian influence), you have several alternatives to आतिथ्य करना. Knowing these will help you choose the right word for the right occasion.
- 1. मेहमाननवाज़ी करना (Mehmānnawāzī karnā)
- This is the most common Urdu-derived alternative. It is widely used in Bollywood, poetry, and North Indian daily life. It feels warm, poetic, and slightly less stiff than 'aatithya'. Use this in social gatherings or when talking about a friend's hospitality.
- 2. खातिरदारी करना (Khātirdārī karnā)
- This focuses specifically on the service and the 'treating' of a guest with food and comforts. It is very common in colloquial speech. 'उनकी खूब खातिरदारी हुई' (They were treated very well/served a lot of food).
तुलना: 'आतिथ्य' (Sanskrit/Formal) vs 'मेहमाननवाज़ी' (Urdu/Warm) vs 'खातिरदारी' (Colloquial/Service-oriented).
If you are in a religious or highly traditional setting, you might hear 'सत्कार करना' (satkār karnā). This implies honoring someone. It is often paired as 'स्वागत-सत्कार' (welcome and honor). For instance, 'संतों का सत्कार करना चाहिए' (Saints should be honored/hosted with respect). In a modern professional context, if you are hosting an event, you might simply say 'मेज़बानी करना' (mezbānī karnā). 'Mezbān' is the Persian word for 'host'. So, 'मेज़बानी करना' is the direct equivalent of 'to host' (as an organizer). Use 'mezbānī' when talking about hosting a show, a sports event, or a party.
In summary, while all these words deal with guests, 'आतिथ्य करना' is the gold standard for formal, respectful, and traditional hosting. It conveys a sense of duty and high culture that the other terms might lack in purely formal documents or classical contexts.

نکته جالب
In ancient India, it was common for wandering monks and travelers to show up at a householder's door without notice. Because they had no fixed 'tithi' (date), they were called 'atithi'. Hosting them was considered a path to heaven.

ریشه کلمه
Derived from the Sanskrit word 'आतिथ्य' (ātithya), which comes from 'अतिथि' (atithi). The word 'atithi' is formed from 'a-' (not) + 'tithi' (lunar date/fixed time), meaning someone who comes without a prior date or appointment.
معنای اصلی: The quality or service related to a guest who arrives unannounced.
Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit)بافت فرهنگی
When being hosted in India, it is often considered impolite to refuse food or drink repeatedly, as it might hurt the host's sense of 'aatithya'.
In the West, hosting is often planned and RSVP-based. In India, 'aatithya' historically implies being ready for unannounced guests at any time.

Summary
आतिथ्य करना is the formal way to say 'to host'. It is more than just a social act; it reflects the Indian cultural value that a guest is like a god. Example: 'प्रधानमंत्री ने अतिथियों का आतिथ्य किया' (The PM hosted the guests).
- A formal verb meaning to host or offer hospitality to guests.
- Rooted in the Sanskrit word 'Atithi' (guest), implying deep respect.
- Used in formal social, literary, and professional contexts in Hindi.
- Follows the 'ka aatithya karna' grammatical structure for the object.

Elevate Your Speech
Use 'aatithya' instead of 'mehmannawazi' in formal essays or speeches to sound more educated.
Accepting Hospitality
When someone offers 'aatithya', it's polite to accept at least a little bit of food or water.
