अपेक्षा در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Apekshā is a feminine noun meaning 'expectation' or 'comparison'.
- Use 'ki apekshā' to compare two things formally in Hindi.
- It comes from Sanskrit and is common in formal and professional speech.
- Do not confuse it with 'upekshā', which means neglect or disregard.
The Hindi word अपेक्षा (apekshā) is a multifaceted noun that serves as a bridge between comparison and desire. At its core, it originates from the Sanskrit root 'apa' + 'īkṣ', which literally translates to 'looking away' or 'looking towards something else.' In modern Hindi, this translates into two primary functions: the act of comparing one thing to another and the state of expecting or hoping for something from someone. Understanding this word is crucial for any Hindi learner because it appears in everything from daily gossip to high-level academic discourse. When you use it for comparison, it functions much like the English word 'than' or 'as compared to.' When you use it to express expectation, it captures the emotional weight of what we anticipate from our friends, family, or even ourselves. It is a feminine noun, which influences the adjectives and verbs that surround it in a sentence.
- Grammatical Category
- Feminine Noun (स्त्रीलिंग)
- Primary Meaning
- Expectation, hope, or requirement.
- Secondary Meaning
- Comparison (used with the postposition 'ki' to mean 'in comparison with').
In a social context, 'apekshā' is often used to discuss the standards we set. For instance, in Indian families, there are often high 'apekshāen' (plural) regarding education and career. This isn't just a casual want; it's a structural expectation. Conversely, in a scientific or descriptive context, you might hear a scientist say that one result is better 'ki apekshā' (than) another. This versatility makes it a high-frequency word. It conveys a sense of looking forward to a result or looking at two things side-by-side to judge their merit. It is formal enough for literature but common enough for a mother to use when speaking to her child about their grades.
मुझे आपसे यह अपेक्षा नहीं थी। (I did not have this expectation from you.)
आज कल की अपेक्षा कल अधिक गर्मी थी। (Yesterday was hotter compared to today.)
सफलता के लिए कठिन परिश्रम की अपेक्षा होती है। (Hard work is expected/required for success.)
उसकी अपेक्षाएँ बहुत ऊँची हैं। (His expectations are very high.)
गाँव की अपेक्षा शहर में शोर ज़्यादा है। (There is more noise in the city compared to the village.)
Furthermore, 'apekshā' is intrinsically linked to the concept of 'upekshā' (neglect), which is its antonym. While 'apekshā' is a looking-toward or a valuing, 'upekshā' is a looking-away or a devaluing. In philosophical texts, 'apekshā' is discussed as a mental state that can lead to disappointment if not managed. In a world of social media, 'apekshāen' are often criticized for being unrealistic. In business, 'apekshā' is used to define key performance indicators (KPIs) or client requirements. It is a word that spans the entire spectrum of human experience—from the mundane task of choosing a better fruit at the market to the profound act of hoping for a better future. By mastering this word, you gain the ability to express complex relative thoughts and deep personal desires in Hindi.

Using अपेक्षा (apekshā) correctly requires a bit of grammatical agility, particularly because it changes its role based on the surrounding postpositions. Let's break down the two main structural patterns. The first pattern is the 'Comparison Pattern'. Here, you use the phrase X की अपेक्षा Y... which means 'Compared to X, Y is...'. For example, 'Sita ki apekshā Gita lambi hai' (Gita is taller compared to Sita). Note that 'apekshā' doesn't change based on the gender of the subjects (Sita or Gita), but 'ki' is essential because 'apekshā' is a feminine noun. This construction is more formal than using 'se' (the basic comparative marker in Hindi).
- Pattern 1: Comparison
- [Noun A] + की + अपेक्षा + [Noun B] + [Adjective/Verb].
The second pattern is the 'Expectation Pattern'. In this context, 'apekshā' acts as a direct object or a subject. You might say 'Mujhe apekshā hai' (I have an expectation/I expect). Here, the person having the expectation is usually marked with the postposition 'ko' or 'se'. For example, 'Sarkar se hamen bahut apekshāen hain' (We have many expectations from the government). Note the pluralization to 'apekshāen' here, as expectations are often multiple. You can also use it as a requirement: 'Is kaam mein savdhani ki apekshā hai' (Caution is expected/required in this work).
राम की अपेक्षा श्याम अधिक बुद्धिमान है। (Shyam is more intelligent compared to Ram.)
क्या आपको मुझसे कोई अपेक्षा है? (Do you have any expectation from me?)
पिछले साल की अपेक्षा इस साल फ़सल अच्छी हुई है। (Compared to last year, the harvest is good this year.)
When writing, remember that 'apekshā' is often followed by 'karna' (to expect) or 'hona' (to be expected/required). For instance, 'Hum aapse imandari ki apekshā karte hain' (We expect honesty from you). Here, 'ki' connects 'imandari' (honesty) to 'apekshā'. This 'Noun + ki + apekshā + karna' is a very common phrasal verb structure. In more advanced usage, you might see 'apekshakrit' (comparatively), which is an adverbial form of the word. For example, 'Yeh kaam apekshakrit mushkil hai' (This work is comparatively difficult). This shows how the root word 'apekshā' expands into various parts of speech to provide precision to your Hindi communication.
- Pattern 2: Expectation
- [Subject] + को/से + [Object] + की + अपेक्षा + [Verb (hona/karna)].
If you walk into a corporate office in Gurgaon or Bangalore, you will hear अपेक्षा (apekshā) during performance reviews. Managers use it to outline what they expect from their team. 'Hamari apekshāen spasht hain' (Our expectations are clear) is a common refrain. It’s a word that carries professional weight. In the news, you’ll hear it during economic reports. For example, 'Mahangai dar pichle mahine ki apekshā kam hui hai' (The inflation rate has decreased compared to last month). News anchors love 'apekshā' because it sounds more objective and authoritative than the simpler word 'se'.
कंपनी को आपसे बेहतर प्रदर्शन की अपेक्षा है। (The company expects better performance from you.)
In Hindi cinema (Bollywood), 'apekshā' is often used in dramatic dialogues between parents and children or lovers. A father might say, 'Mujhe tumse yeh apekshā nahi thi' (I didn't expect this from you) after a child fails or makes a mistake. This usage highlights the emotional burden the word can carry. It’s not just a logical expectation; it’s a moral one. You’ll also find it in literature and poetry, where it’s used to compare the beauty of a beloved to the moon or flowers, though 'tulnā' is also common there. 'Apekshā' adds a layer of 'looking toward' or 'desiring' that 'tulnā' (simple comparison) lacks.
जनता को नई सरकार से बहुत अपेक्षाएँ हैं। (The public has high expectations from the new government.)
In academic settings, 'apekshā' is ubiquitous. Textbooks use it to compare historical eras, scientific results, or literary styles. If you are reading a Hindi newspaper like 'Dainik Jagran' or 'Navbharat Times', look at the editorial section. Writers use 'apekshā' to contrast current social issues with ideal scenarios. It is also used in legal contexts to describe the 'reasonable expectation' of a citizen or a contract. Essentially, anywhere there is a need for comparison or the setting of a standard, 'apekshā' is the go-to word. It is a bridge between the 'is' and the 'should be'.
- Common Setting: Education
- Teachers use it to set goals for students: 'Hamen tumse acche anko ki apekshā hai' (We expect good marks from you).
- Common Setting: Shopping
- Comparing prices: 'Is dukaan ki apekshā wahan sasta hai' (It is cheaper there compared to this shop).
The most common and potentially embarrassing mistake for Hindi learners is confusing अपेक्षा (apekshā) with उपेक्षा (upekshā). While they sound very similar, their meanings are nearly opposite. 'Apekshā' means expectation or comparison, whereas 'Upekshā' means neglect or disregard. If you tell your boss, 'Mujhe aapse upekshā hai,' you are accidentally saying 'I neglect you' or 'I expect neglect from you,' which is definitely not what you want in a professional setting! Always remember: 'A' for 'Addition/Expectation' and 'U' for 'Under-valuing/Neglect'.
Correct: मुझे आपसे मदद की अपेक्षा है। (I expect help from you.)
Incorrect: उसने मेरी अपेक्षा की। (He expected me - sounds incomplete). He meant: उसने मेरी उपेक्षा की। (He neglected me.)
Another frequent error involves the postposition. Learners often use 'se' when they should use 'ki apekshā' for formal comparisons. While 'Ram se Shyam bada hai' is grammatically correct for 'Shyam is older than Ram,' using 'Ram ki apekshā' makes your Hindi sound more sophisticated. However, you cannot just say 'Ram apekshā'. The 'ki' is non-negotiable because 'apekshā' is a noun, and you are creating a possessive link (literally 'of the expectation of Ram'). If you omit 'ki', the sentence falls apart.
Lastly, learners sometimes forget that 'apekshā' is feminine. This means if you are using it as a subject, the verb must be feminine. 'Meri apekshā puri hui' (My expectation was fulfilled) is correct, while 'Mera apekshā pura hua' is incorrect. Even though the person expecting might be male, the word 'apekshā' remains feminine. This 'gender of the noun vs. gender of the speaker' confusion is a classic hurdle in Hindi, and 'apekshā' is a prime example of where students trip up. Pay close attention to the 'i' endings in adjectives and verbs associated with it.
- Mistake: Wrong Gender
- Saying 'Bada apekshā' instead of 'Badi apekshā' (Great expectation).
- Mistake: Missing 'Ki'
- Saying 'Aaj apekshā kal thanda hai' instead of 'Aaj ki apekshā...'.
Hindi is rich with synonyms, and अपेक्षा (apekshā) has several, depending on whether you mean 'comparison' or 'expectation.' For comparison, the most direct alternative is तुलना (tulnā). While 'apekshā' is often used as a postpositional phrase ('ki apekshā'), 'tulnā' is usually used with 'karna' (to compare). You would say 'Main dono ki tulnā kar raha hoon' (I am comparing the two). 'Tulnā' is more clinical and direct, whereas 'apekshā' is often used to show a preference or a relative state.
- अपेक्षा vs. तुलना (Comparison)
- 'Apekshā' is 'than/compared to' (preposition-like), while 'Tulnā' is 'comparison' (the act itself).
When it comes to 'expectation,' the most common alternative is उम्मीद (ummeed). 'Ummeed' is an Urdu-origin word that is extremely common in daily life. It feels slightly more emotional and informal than 'apekshā'. You might have 'ummeed' that it will rain, but a boss has 'apekshā' that you will finish the report. Another word is आशा (āshā), which means 'hope.' 'Āshā' is more positive and spiritual. You 'āshā' for world peace, but you 'apekshā' that your car will start in the morning. 'Apekshā' has a slight sense of 'requirement' or 'standard' that 'ummeed' and 'āshā' lack.
मुझे आपसे बहुत उम्मीदें हैं। (I have many hopes/expectations from you - Emotional/Informal.)
दोनों चित्रों की तुलना कीजिए। (Compare both the pictures - Clinical/Instructional.)
In very formal or literary Hindi, you might encounter आकांक्षा (ākānkshā), which means 'aspiration' or 'strong desire.' This is even more intense than 'apekshā'. While 'apekshā' is what you expect will happen or should happen, 'ākānkshā' is what you deeply long for. Understanding these subtle shifts in meaning—from the clinical 'tulnā' to the emotional 'ummeed' to the formal 'apekshā' and the intense 'ākānkshā'—will allow you to express yourself with the precision of a native speaker. Each word has its own place in the social hierarchy of the Hindi language.
- आकांक्षा (Aspiration)
- High-level desire, often used for career or life goals.
- प्रत्याशा (Pratyāshā)
- Anticipation (very formal/academic).

نکات
The 'Ki' Rule
Never forget the 'ki' in 'ki apekshā'. It links the two things being compared. Without it, the sentence is ungrammatical.
A vs U
Remember: Apekshā (Accepting/Expecting) vs Upekshā (Under-valuing/Neglecting). The first letter changes everything!
Formal Tone
Use 'apekshā' when you want to sound more educated or formal. In a business meeting, it sounds much better than 'ummeed'.
Adverbial Use
Use 'apekshakrit' to start a sentence when comparing data. It acts as a great transition word in reports.
Managing Expectations
In Indian culture, expressing expectations can be sensitive. Use 'apekshā' to keep the conversation objective rather than personal.
Context Clues
If you hear 'apekshā' at the end of a sentence with 'hai', it's likely 'expectation'. If it's in the middle with 'ki', it's 'comparison'.
Visualize a Scale
Think of the word 'apekshā' as the pivot of a balance scale. It balances what you have against what you want or one thing against another.
Plural Ending
The plural is 'apekshāen'. Note the 'en' sound at the end, which is typical for feminine nouns ending in 'aa'.
Mutual Respect
Use 'parspar apekshā' (mutual expectation) to discuss agreements in relationships or business.
Look for the Root
When you see 'apeksh...', look for the suffixes like '-it' (expected) or '-krit' (comparatively) to understand the part of speech.

روش یادسپاری
Think of 'A-Pek-Sha' as 'A-Peak-Show'. You are 'peeking' at something to compare it or 'peeking' into the future to see what you expect.

ریشه کلمه
Sanskrit. Derived from 'apa' (away/off/towards) + 'īkṣ' (to see/look).
معنای اصلی: The act of looking towards something, hence expecting or considering something in relation to another.
Indo-Aryan.بافت فرهنگی
Be careful not to sound too demanding when saying 'Mujhe apekshā hai'. It can sound authoritative.
English speakers often use 'than' for comparison, but 'apekshā' is closer to 'in comparison with'. For expectations, it's more formal than 'hope'.

سوالات متداول
10 سوالNo. It only means 'than' or 'compared to' when used in the phrase 'ki apekshā'. On its own, it means 'expectation' or 'hope'. For example, 'Mujhe apekshā hai' means 'I have an expectation'.
It is always feminine. This means you use 'ki' with it, and verbs like 'hona' become 'hoti' when 'apekshā' is the subject. Example: 'Badi apekshā' (Great expectation).
Yes, you can have expectations 'from' people. Use the postposition 'se'. Example: 'Mujhe tumse apekshā hai' (I have an expectation from you).
'Se' is the basic way to say 'than' (e.g., Ram se bada). 'Ki apekshā' is more formal and specific (e.g., Ram ki apekshā bada). Use 'apekshā' in writing or formal speeches.
The best word is 'apekshakrit' (अपेक्षाकृत). For example, 'Aaj apekshakrit thand hai' (It is comparatively cold today).
Yes, 'apekshāen' (अपेक्षाएँ) is very common when talking about multiple expectations from society, parents, or a job.
No, that is 'upekshā'. This is a very common mistake. Always use the 'A' sound for expectation and the 'U' sound for neglect.
Both are used. 'Apekshā karna' means 'to expect' (an action), while 'apekshā rakhna' means 'to hold/have an expectation' (a state).
It is a 'Tatsam' word, meaning it is borrowed directly from Sanskrit into Hindi without changes. This is why it sounds formal.
You use 'ki apekshā hona'. For example, 'Is kaam mein savdhani ki apekshā hai' (Caution is expected/required in this work).

Summary
The word 'अपेक्षा' (apekshā) is essential for making formal comparisons and expressing what you expect from others. For example: 'आज की अपेक्षा कल बेहतर होगा' (Tomorrow will be better compared to today).
- Apekshā is a feminine noun meaning 'expectation' or 'comparison'.
- Use 'ki apekshā' to compare two things formally in Hindi.
- It comes from Sanskrit and is common in formal and professional speech.
- Do not confuse it with 'upekshā', which means neglect or disregard.
The 'Ki' Rule
Never forget the 'ki' in 'ki apekshā'. It links the two things being compared. Without it, the sentence is ungrammatical.
A vs U
Remember: Apekshā (Accepting/Expecting) vs Upekshā (Under-valuing/Neglecting). The first letter changes everything!
Formal Tone
Use 'apekshā' when you want to sound more educated or formal. In a business meeting, it sounds much better than 'ummeed'.
Adverbial Use
Use 'apekshakrit' to start a sentence when comparing data. It acts as a great transition word in reports.
مثال
मुझे आपसे बेहतर प्रदर्शन की अपेक्षा है।
