The Hindi word 'अक्षम' (aksham) is an adjective that signifies a state of being incapable, inefficient, or unable to perform a task or function properly. It suggests a lack of ability, skill, or effectiveness. You might use it to describe a person who is not skilled enough for a job, a system that doesn't work well, or even an organization that is not performing up to par.
Consider a situation where a company's old machinery is constantly breaking down, making production slow and unreliable. In such a case, one might say the machinery is 'अक्षम' for the demands of modern manufacturing. Similarly, if an employee consistently fails to meet deadlines or produce quality work, they might be described as 'अक्षम' in their role, implying they are not suitable or capable of performing the required duties effectively. This word carries a sense of inadequacy or a failure to meet expectations, whether in a personal, professional, or functional context.
- Contexts
- Used to describe people, systems, machines, organizations, or even abstract concepts that are not functioning or performing as expected.
- Nuance
- It implies a deficiency that prevents successful completion or efficient operation. It's a stronger term than just 'unable' and suggests a more fundamental lack of capability.
यह पुरानी मशीन उत्पादन के लिए अक्षम है। (Yah purani machine utpadan ke liye aksham hai.) - This old machine is incapable for production.
वह अपने पद के लिए अक्षम पाया गया। (Vah apne pad ke liye aksham paya gaya.) - He was found incapable for his post.
The word 'अक्षम' is often used in contexts where efficiency, performance, or competence is being evaluated. It can be a direct criticism or a factual assessment of a situation. For instance, a government might declare a certain area 'अक्षम' for agricultural purposes if the soil quality is too poor. Or, a manager might need to reassign an employee if they are consistently 'अक्षम' to handle the responsibilities of their current role. The core idea is a fundamental inability to perform or function correctly.
- Synonym Hint
- Similar to 'ineffective' or 'incompetent' in English.
यह सॉफ्टवेयर पुराने सिस्टम पर अक्षम है। (Yah software purane system par aksham hai.) - This software is incapable on the old system.
Understanding 'अक्षम' helps in grasping critiques of performance and functionality in various aspects of life and work. It's a word that points to a significant shortfall in capability.
Using 'अक्षम' (aksham) effectively involves understanding its role as an adjective describing a lack of capability. It typically follows the subject it modifies, either directly or through a linking verb like 'है' (hai - is) or 'था' (tha - was). The key is to convey that something or someone is not performing its intended function well.
For describing people, you might say someone is 'अक्षम' for a particular job, implying they lack the necessary skills or qualifications. For example, 'वह इस काम के लिए अक्षम है।' (Vah is kaam ke liye aksham hai.) - 'He is incapable for this work.' Here, 'अक्षम' directly modifies the implied subject 'वह' (he) in relation to 'इस काम' (this work).
- Sentence Structure
- Subject + (Object/Context) + अक्षम + (Verb) or Subject + है/था/हैं/थे + (Object/Context) + अक्षम.
When describing systems or objects, 'अक्षम' highlights their failure to function. For instance, 'यह कंप्यूटर बहुत धीमा है और अक्सर अक्षम हो जाता है।' (Yah computer bahut dheema hai aur aksar aksham ho jaata hai.) - 'This computer is very slow and often becomes incapable.' The phrase 'हो जाता है' (ho jaata hai - becomes) indicates a transition into a state of being incapable.
You can also use it to describe a situation or policy as ineffective. 'उनकी नीतियां अक्षम साबित हुईं।' (Unki neetiyan aksham saabit huin.) - 'Their policies proved to be incapable/ineffective.' Here, 'साबित हुईं' (saabit huin - proved) shows the outcome of the policies.
- Using with Postpositions
- Often used with postpositions like 'के लिए' (ke liye - for) to specify what someone or something is incapable of.
बिना प्रशिक्षण के, वह इस नौकरी के लिए अक्षम है। (Bina prashikshan ke, vah is naukri ke liye aksham hai.) - Without training, he is incapable for this job.
To express a more general inability, you can use it without specifying the task, but the context usually implies it. For example, 'यह उपकरण अब अक्षम है।' (Yah upkaran ab aksham hai.) - 'This equipment is now incapable.' This suggests it's no longer functional or useful.
Remember that 'अक्षम' is a strong word. It's not just about being slightly inefficient; it implies a significant lack of ability or functionality. Using it appropriately demonstrates a good grasp of expressing limitations and ineffectiveness in Hindi.
पुराने नियम नए समाज के लिए अक्षम थे। (Purane niyam naye samaj ke liye aksham the.) - The old rules were incapable for the new society.
Consider the subject's plurality and gender when using 'अक्षम' if it's describing people. For example, 'वे इस परियोजना के लिए अक्षम हैं।' (Ve is pariyojana ke liye aksham hain.) - 'They are incapable for this project.' The ending 'हैं' (hain) indicates plurality.
You'll encounter 'अक्षम' (aksham) in a variety of settings, often where performance, competence, or functionality is being discussed or evaluated. It's a word that carries a certain weight and is not used lightly.
In formal settings like news reports or official documents, 'अक्षम' might be used to describe outdated infrastructure or ineffective government policies. For example, a news anchor might report, 'सरकार ने माना कि पुरानी स्वास्थ्य सेवाएं अक्षम साबित हो रही हैं।' (Sarkar ne maana ki purani swasthya sevayein aksham saabit ho rahi hain.) - 'The government admitted that the old health services are proving to be incapable.' This highlights a systemic issue.
- Formal Discourse
- Common in news, official reports, policy discussions, and academic analyses when evaluating the effectiveness of systems or individuals.
In professional environments, managers or HR personnel might use 'अक्षम' when discussing an employee's performance, especially during reviews or disciplinary actions. It signifies a failure to meet job requirements. For instance, a manager might say, 'अगर वह अपने कर्तव्यों को पूरा करने में अक्षम रहता है, तो हमें कार्रवाई करनी होगी।' (Agar vah apne kartavyon ko poora karne mein aksham rehta hai, to hamein karwai karni hogi.) - 'If he remains incapable of fulfilling his duties, we will have to take action.' This is a direct assessment of competence.
You might also hear it in technical discussions about machinery or software. A technician might explain, 'यह सॉफ़्टवेयर नए ऑपरेटिंग सिस्टम पर अक्षम है।' (Yah software naye operating system par aksham hai.) - 'This software is incapable on the new operating system.' This indicates a lack of compatibility or functionality.
- Technical & Business Contexts
- Used to describe non-performing equipment, outdated technology, or employees who do not meet job specifications.
उनकी पुरानी कार शहर की सड़कों के लिए अक्षम थी। (Unki purani car shahar ki sadkon ke liye aksham thi.) - Their old car was incapable for the city roads.
In educational contexts, a teacher might describe a student who struggles significantly with a subject as 'अक्षम', though this can be a sensitive term and might be softened in everyday conversation. However, in formal assessments, it could be used to explain why a student is not progressing. For instance, 'वह गणित की बुनियादी अवधारणाओं को समझने में अक्षम था।' (Vah ganit ki buniyadi avdharnaon ko samajhne mein aksham tha.) - 'He was incapable of understanding the basic concepts of mathematics.'
The word is less common in casual, everyday conversations among friends unless they are discussing a specific problem or a situation where someone or something is clearly failing to perform. In such cases, it might be used with a sigh or a tone of resignation.
यह उपकरण अब उपयोगी नहीं है, यह पूरी तरह से अक्षम हो गया है। (Yah upkaran ab upyogi nahin hai, yah poori tarah se aksham ho gaya hai.) - This equipment is no longer useful, it has become completely incapable.
Overall, 'अक्षम' is heard in situations requiring a clear statement of inadequacy, whether it's about a person's skills, a machine's performance, or a system's effectiveness.
When learning to use 'अक्षम' (aksham), English speakers might make a few common mistakes, primarily stemming from direct translation or misunderstanding its nuance. Here are some pitfalls to avoid:
1. Overusing it for simple inability: In English, we might say 'I can't do this' for many reasons. 'अक्षम' implies a more fundamental or persistent lack of ability or functionality. Using it for a temporary difficulty or a simple lack of knowledge can sound too harsh or inaccurate. For example, saying 'मैं यह सवाल हल करने में अक्षम हूँ' (Main yah sawal hal karne mein aksham hoon) might be too strong if you just need a moment to think. A simpler 'मुझे नहीं पता' (mujhe nahin pata - I don't know) or 'मैं कोशिश कर रहा हूँ' (main koshish kar raha hoon - I am trying) might be more appropriate.
- Mistake 1: Overuse
- Using 'अक्षम' for minor inconveniences or temporary difficulties. It implies a more significant and inherent lack of capability.
2. Confusing it with 'असमर्थ' (asamarth): While both mean 'unable,' 'असमर्थ' often refers to a lack of physical strength or immediate ability, whereas 'अक्षम' points to a more inherent deficiency in skill, competence, or function. For instance, you might be 'असमर्थ' to lift a heavy object due to temporary weakness, but you might be 'अक्षम' for a job if you lack the required qualifications. A sentence like 'वह बूढ़ा आदमी भारी बक्सा उठाने में अक्षम था' (Vah boodha aadmi bhaari baksa uthane mein aksham tha) could be incorrect; 'असमर्थ' would be better here because it's about physical strength, not a lack of skill for a task.
- Mistake 2: Confusion with 'असमर्थ'
- Confusing 'अक्षम' (incapable due to lack of skill/function) with 'असमर्थ' (unable due to lack of strength/immediate power).
3. Incorrect grammatical placement: As an adjective, 'अक्षम' usually follows the noun it describes or comes after a linking verb. Placing it before the noun without proper context can sound unnatural. For example, saying 'अक्षम व्यक्ति ने काम किया' (Aksham vyakti ne kaam kiya) is less common than 'वह व्यक्ति इस काम के लिए अक्षम है' (Vah vyakti is kaam ke liye aksham hai).
- Mistake 3: Grammatical Placement
- Placing 'अक्षम' incorrectly in the sentence structure, particularly before the noun it modifies without appropriate grammatical construction.
Incorrect: अक्षम मशीन ने काम बंद कर दिया। (Aksham machine ne kaam band kar diya.)
Correct: मशीन अक्षम हो गई थी, इसलिए उसने काम बंद कर दिया। (Machine aksham ho gayi thi, isliye usne kaam band kar diya.) - The machine had become incapable, so it stopped working.
4. Using it for moral judgment: While 'अक्षम' can imply a negative assessment, it's primarily about capability and functionality, not necessarily moral failing. Using it to imply someone is morally bad would be a misapplication. The focus should remain on their ability to perform a task.
- Mistake 4: Moral Judgment
- Applying 'अक्षम' to situations requiring moral judgment rather than a functional or skill-based assessment.
5. Ignoring context: The appropriateness of 'अक्षम' heavily depends on the context. Using it in a light-hearted conversation might be perceived as rude or overly critical. Always consider the formality and the seriousness of the situation.
- Mistake 5: Ignoring Context
- Using 'अक्षम' in informal or casual settings where a milder term would be more appropriate, leading to potential offense.
Avoid saying: 'मेरा दोस्त अक्षम है क्योंकि वह देर से आता है।' (Mera dost aksham hai kyunki vah der se aata hai.) - My friend is incapable because he comes late. (This is too strong for just being late.)
By being mindful of these common mistakes, learners can use 'अक्षम' more accurately and effectively in their Hindi communication.
While 'अक्षम' (aksham) is a precise word for indicating incapability or inefficiency, Hindi offers several other words that can convey similar meanings, each with its own nuance and context. Understanding these alternatives will enrich your vocabulary and allow for more precise expression.
1. असमर्थ (asamarth): This is perhaps the closest synonym, often translated as 'unable' or 'incapable.' However, 'असमर्थ' typically implies a lack of physical strength, power, or immediate capacity to perform an action. It's often used when someone is temporarily unable to do something due to physical limitations or circumstances. For example, 'वह भारी बोझ उठाने में असमर्थ था।' (Vah bhaari bojh uthane mein asamarth tha.) - 'He was unable to lift the heavy load.' Here, 'अक्षम' would be less fitting as it suggests a lack of skill rather than physical power.
- अक्षम vs. असमर्थ
- 'अक्षम' implies a lack of skill, competence, or inherent function. 'असमर्थ' implies a lack of physical strength, power, or immediate capacity.
2. अयोग्य (ayogya): This word means 'unfit,' 'unqualified,' or 'undeserving.' It's used when someone lacks the necessary qualifications, merit, or suitability for a particular role, position, or reward. For instance, 'वह इस पद के लिए अयोग्य है।' (Vah is pad ke liye ayogya hai.) - 'He is unfit/unqualified for this post.' While an 'अयोग्य' person might also be 'अक्षम,' 'अयोग्य' focuses more on the lack of credentials or suitability.
- अक्षम vs. अयोग्य
- 'अक्षम' is about functional inability. 'अयोग्य' is about lacking the necessary qualifications, merit, or suitability.
3. बेकार (bekar): This translates to 'useless' or 'idle.' It can describe something or someone that is not serving any purpose or is unproductive. While an 'अक्षम' machine might be 'बेकार,' 'बेकार' can also describe a person who is unemployed or not contributing. 'यह पुराना फोन बिल्कुल बेकार है।' (Yah purana phone bilkul bekar hai.) - 'This old phone is completely useless.' This is more about lack of utility than a specific functional inability.
- अक्षम vs. बेकार
- 'अक्षम' refers to an inability to perform a task. 'बेकार' means useless or not serving a purpose.
4. निष्फल (nishphal): Meaning 'fruitless,' 'vain,' or 'ineffective.' This word is often used to describe efforts, attempts, or results that have yielded no positive outcome. For example, 'उसके सारे प्रयास निष्फल रहे।' (Uske saare prayas nishphal rahe.) - 'All his efforts remained fruitless/ineffective.' This focuses on the lack of desired results rather than the inherent incapability of the subject.
- अक्षम vs. निष्फल
- 'अक्षम' describes the state of being unable to perform. 'निष्फल' describes outcomes or efforts that yield no results.
5. अप्रभावी (aprabhaavi): This means 'ineffective' or 'inefficacious.' It's very close to 'अक्षम' when referring to systems or actions that do not produce the desired effect. For instance, 'यह दवा अप्रभावी साबित हुई।' (Yah dava aprabhaavi saabit hui.) - 'This medicine proved to be ineffective.' 'अक्षम' could also be used here, but 'अप्रभावी' specifically highlights the lack of impact or effect.
- अक्षम vs. अप्रभावी
- 'अक्षम' focuses on the inability to perform a function. 'अप्रभावी' focuses on the lack of desired effect or impact.
The system is अक्षम (incapable) of handling the load.
The policies were अप्रभावी (ineffective) in achieving their goals.
Choosing the right word depends on whether you want to emphasize a lack of skill, physical inability, unsuitability, uselessness, or lack of desired results. 'अक्षम' is best reserved for situations where there's a clear functional or skill-based deficiency.

نکته جالب
The root 'ksham' (क्षम) also appears in words related to patience and tolerance, such as 'क्षमा' (kshama - forgiveness/patience). This connection suggests that being 'ksham' involves not just ability but also a certain capacity to endure or handle situations. The negation 'a-' (अ-) thus implies an inability to endure or handle, in addition to a lack of general capability.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Mispronouncing the vowel sounds, especially the final 'a'.
- Incorrect stress placement, which can alter the word's meaning or sound unnatural.
- Not clearly articulating the 'sh' sound.
سطح دشواری
At B1 level, understanding 'अक्षम' in straightforward sentences is expected. Complex sentences or nuanced contexts might require more effort, especially when it's used metaphorically or in highly technical discussions.
Learners at B1 can begin to use 'अक्षम' correctly in simple sentences. Using it in varied contexts or with precise nuance requires practice and a good understanding of its antonyms and associated phrases.
Producing 'अक्षम' spontaneously and accurately in conversation, especially when describing personal or professional limitations, is achievable at B1. Ensuring correct usage and avoiding overgeneralization is key.
Recognizing 'अक्षम' in spoken Hindi at a normal pace is feasible for B1 learners, especially in contexts related to performance or functionality. Distinguishing it from similar words like 'असमर्थ' might require careful listening.

اغلب اشتباه گرفته میشود با
'अक्षम' implies a lack of skill or inherent function, while 'असमर्थ' often refers to a lack of physical strength or immediate ability. For example, one might be 'असमर्थ' to lift a heavy box due to weakness, but 'अक्षम' for a job requiring specific technical skills.
'अयोग्य' means unfit or unqualified, focusing on the lack of credentials or suitability. 'अक्षम' means incapable, focusing on the inability to perform. Someone 'अयोग्य' might also be 'अक्षम', but the reason differs.
This is a very different word meaning 'unforgivable' or 'inexcusable'. It relates to morality and blame, not capability. It's important not to confuse the two.
بهراحتی اشتباه گرفته میشود
Both words translate to 'unable' or 'incapable' in some contexts and describe a lack of ability.
'अक्षम' (aksham) denotes a lack of skill, competence, or inherent functionality, suggesting a more permanent or fundamental deficiency. It's about not being able to perform a task due to a lack of ability or the necessary tools/conditions. 'असमर्थ' (asamarth), on the other hand, typically implies a lack of immediate physical strength, power, or capacity to perform an action, often due to temporary circumstances or physical limitations. For example, you might be 'असमर्थ' to lift a heavy object because you are tired, but you would be 'अक्षम' for a job if you lack the required qualifications.
वह भारी बक्सा उठाने में <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>असमर्थ</mark> था (due to weakness). वह पायलट बनने में <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अक्षम</mark> है (lacks the skill/license).
Both words can lead to a person not being chosen for something, implying a negative assessment of their suitability.
'अक्षम' (aksham) means incapable or inefficient, focusing on the lack of ability to perform a task. 'अयोग्य' (ayogya) means unfit, unqualified, or undeserving, focusing on the lack of necessary qualifications, merit, or suitability for a role or reward. You can be 'अयोग्य' for a job because you don't have the degree (lack of qualification), and therefore might be 'अक्षम' to perform its duties. However, someone might be 'अयोग्य' for a prize because they haven't met the criteria, even if they possess the skills.
वह इस पद के लिए <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अयोग्य</mark> है (lacks qualifications), इसलिए वह काम <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>करने में अक्षम</mark> है (cannot perform the tasks).
Both can describe something that is not functioning or useful.
'अक्षम' (aksham) specifically refers to the inability to perform a function or task due to a lack of skill, competence, or proper working condition. It implies a functional deficiency. 'बेकार' (bekar) is a broader term meaning 'useless' or 'idle.' It can describe something that serves no purpose, is unproductive, or is simply not needed. An 'अक्षम' machine is likely 'बेकार', but something can be 'बेकार' without necessarily being 'अक्षम' in a specific task (e.g., an item that is no longer fashionable is 'बेकार' but might still function).
यह पुराना कंप्यूटर <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अक्षम</mark> है (cannot run new software) और इसलिए <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>बेकार</mark> भी है (no longer useful).
Both can describe a lack of success or positive outcome.
'अक्षम' (aksham) focuses on the inherent inability to perform a task or function. It's about the state of being unable. 'अप्रभावी' (aprabhaavi) means ineffective or inefficacious, focusing on the outcome or result. It describes something that does not produce the desired effect or impact, even if it was capable of performing the action. For instance, a medicine might be 'अक्षम' to be produced due to a manufacturing fault, or it might be 'अप्रभावी' if it doesn't cure the illness despite being produced.
यह दवा <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अप्रभावी</mark> है (doesn't cure), जबकि वह मशीन <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>संचालन में अक्षम</mark> है (cannot operate).
Both relate to a lack of positive results.
'अक्षम' (aksham) describes the state of being incapable of performing an action or function. 'निष्फल' (nishphal) means fruitless, vain, or yielding no positive result. It describes the outcome of efforts or actions. If a plan is 'अक्षम' (incapable of being executed properly), then its outcome will likely be 'निष्फल' (fruitless).
उनकी <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अक्षम</mark> रणनीति के कारण सभी प्रयास <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>निष्फल</mark> गए। (Due to their incapable strategy, all efforts went fruitless.)

نحوه استفاده
Moderately common, especially in contexts discussing performance, competence, or functionality.
-
Using 'अक्षम' for temporary inability.
→
Use 'असमर्थ' or a phrase indicating temporary difficulty.
'अक्षम' implies a more inherent or persistent lack of ability. For example, saying 'मैं आज थक गया हूँ, इसलिए <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अक्षम</mark> हूँ' is incorrect. It should be 'मैं आज थक गया हूँ, इसलिए <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>असमर्थ</mark> हूँ।' (I am tired today, so I am unable.)
-
Confusing 'अक्षम' (incapable) with 'अक्षम्य' (unforgivable).
→
Ensure you understand the distinct meanings: capability vs. moral blameworthiness.
'अक्षम' refers to a lack of ability to perform a task. 'अक्षम्य' refers to something that cannot be forgiven or excused, relating to moral judgment. For example, 'उसकी गलती <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अक्षम्य</mark> थी।' (His mistake was unforgivable.) not 'अक्षम'.
-
Using 'अक्षम' when 'अयोग्य' is more appropriate.
→
Use 'अयोग्य' for lack of qualifications or suitability.
'अक्षम' (incapable) focuses on the inability to perform. 'अयोग्य' (unfit/unqualified) focuses on the lack of necessary credentials or merit. For instance, 'वह इस पद के लिए <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अयोग्य</mark> है' (He is unqualified for this post) is better than saying he is 'अक्षम' if the reason is lack of degree.
-
Incorrect placement in sentences.
→
Adjectives usually follow the noun or come after linking verbs.
Saying '<mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अक्षम</mark> मशीन काम नहीं कर रही है' is less common than 'मशीन <mark class='bg-emerald-200 dark:bg-emerald-800 px-0.5 rounded'>अक्षम</mark> है, इसलिए काम नहीं कर रही है।' (The machine is incapable, therefore it is not working.)
-
Using 'अक्षम' too broadly for anything not working.
→
Reserve 'अक्षम' for situations implying a significant lack of capability or fundamental flaw.
While a broken pen might be 'अक्षम', in casual conversation, simpler terms like 'काम नहीं कर रहा' (not working) or 'बेकार' (useless) might be more natural. 'अक्षम' carries more weight.
نکات
Stress and Vowels
Remember to stress the second syllable: ak-SHUM. Pay attention to the short 'a' sound as in 'cat' for the first vowel and the 'uh' sound for the last vowel. Clear pronunciation ensures understanding.
Distinguish from Synonyms
While 'अक्षम' means incapable, words like 'असमर्थ' (unable, often physically) and 'अयोग्य' (unfit, unqualified) have different nuances. Understanding these differences will help you express yourself more precisely.
Common Patterns
Familiarize yourself with common sentence patterns like 'Subject + के लिए + अक्षम' (incapable for...) or 'Subject + में + अक्षम' (incapable in...). Practicing these will build confidence in using the word.
Visual and Story Aids
Use memory aids like visualizing a broken machine or creating short stories to connect the word 'अक्षम' with its meaning. Associating it with sounds or images can make it easier to recall.
Active Recall
Don't just read about 'अक्षम'. Actively try to use it in your own sentences, even if they are simple at first. The more you practice, the more natural it will become.
Cultural Nuance
Be aware that calling someone 'अक्षम' can be quite critical in Indian culture. Use it thoughtfully, especially in professional or formal contexts where objective assessment is required.
Know the Opposite
Understanding the antonym 'सक्षम' (saksham - capable) can reinforce the meaning of 'अक्षम'. Contrast them in sentences to solidify your grasp of both words.
Avoid Overuse
Refrain from using 'अक्षम' for minor issues or temporary difficulties. It implies a more significant and often inherent lack of capability. For instance, being late is not necessarily making someone 'अक्षम'.
Apply in Different Contexts
Try to use 'अक्षम' when describing not just people, but also machines, systems, or even abstract ideas like policies that are not working as intended. This broadens your understanding and application.

روش یادسپاری
Imagine a person named 'Akash' (अक्ष) who is trying to lift a very heavy box (shaped like an 'm'). He struggles and says, 'I am unable, I am 'अक्षम'!', because he doesn't have the strength or skill. The 'a' sound at the beginning can remind you of 'unable'.
تداعی تصویری
Visualize a broken gear or a machine with a red 'X' over it, symbolizing it's incapable of functioning. The shape of the Hindi letters 'अ' (a) and 'क्ष' (ksha) could be drawn to resemble a broken mechanism.
شبکه واژگان
چالش
Try to describe three different things (a person, a machine, a plan) that are 'अक्षम' in your own words or sentences. Focus on explaining *why* they are incapable.
ریشه کلمه
The word 'अक्षम' (aksham) is derived from Sanskrit. It is formed by combining the prefix 'अ-' (a-), which signifies negation or absence, with the root word 'क्षम' (ksham), meaning 'capable,' 'able,' or 'tolerant.' Therefore, 'अक्षम' literally means 'not capable' or 'lacking ability.'
معنای اصلی: Not capable, unable, lacking ability.
Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit)بافت فرهنگی
Calling someone 'अक्षम' can be perceived as harsh or judgmental, especially in personal contexts. It's important to use it with care and consider the situation. In professional or technical contexts, it's more likely to be seen as an objective assessment.
While the literal translation is 'incapable,' in English, we might use phrases like 'not up to the task,' 'can't cut it,' or 'doesn't have what it takes' depending on the context. 'Incompetent' is a direct parallel in formal settings.
