सामर्थ्य در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Sāmarthya is a formal Hindi noun meaning 'capability' or 'potential'.
- It is masculine and derived from Sanskrit, often used in professional contexts.
- Unlike 'shakti' (raw power), it implies a fit or competent ability for a task.
- Commonly found in news, literature, and formal speeches regarding national or personal strength.
The Hindi word सामर्थ्य (Sāmarthya) is a sophisticated noun that translates primarily to 'capability', 'capacity', or 'potential'. Derived from Sanskrit, it carries a weight of formality and depth that simpler words like 'shakti' (power) or 'kaam' (work) lack. When you use Sāmarthya, you aren't just talking about the physical strength to lift a box; you are talking about the inherent, often latent, power or competence an individual, an organization, or even a nation possesses to achieve a specific goal or endure a certain condition.
- Etymological Root
- The word comes from the Sanskrit 'samartha', where 'sam' implies completeness or togetherness and 'artha' implies purpose or meaning. Thus, it literally signifies being 'fit for a purpose'.
- Register and Tone
- It is a high-register word (C1 level). You will find it in philosophical discourses, formal speeches, literary criticism, and psychological assessments. It is rarely used in casual street slang but is common in professional Hindi environments.
प्रत्येक व्यक्ति में असीम सामर्थ्य छिपा होता है, जिसे पहचानना आवश्यक है। (Every individual possesses hidden, infinite capability, which it is necessary to recognize.)
In modern contexts, you will often hear it in the phrase 'आर्थिक सामर्थ्य' (economic capacity) or 'बौद्धिक सामर्थ्य' (intellectual capability). It suggests a level of maturity and readiness. For instance, if a government is discussing its ability to handle a pandemic, they would refer to their 'healthcare sāmarthya'. It implies more than just having resources; it implies the efficient and effective application of those resources.
उसकी बातों में उसके मानसिक सामर्थ्य की झलक मिलती है। (A glimpse of his mental capability is found in his words.)
Culturally, the word is often linked to the concept of 'Purushartha' or human endeavor. It suggests that while fate exists, it is one's own sāmarthya that allows them to navigate and master their destiny. It is a word of empowerment. When a teacher tells a student, "You have the sāmarthya to top the class," they are acknowledging a deep-seated talent that the student might not have fully realized yet.
- Comparison with 'Kshamata'
- While 'Kshamata' (capacity) is often used for volume or physical limits (like the capacity of a tank), 'Sāmarthya' is more qualitative and human-centric. You have the 'sāmarthya' to lead, but a room has the 'kshamata' to hold 50 people.
युद्ध जीतने के लिए केवल सेना नहीं, बल्कि सेनापति का सामर्थ्य भी मायने रखता है। (To win a war, not just the army, but the commander's capability also matters.)
Using सामर्थ्य correctly requires understanding its role as a masculine noun. It typically functions as the subject or object of a sentence, often modified by adjectives that describe the nature of the capability. Because it is a C1-level word, the sentences it inhabits are usually complex and thematic.
- Grammatical Placement
- It is often followed by postpositions like 'का' (of), 'में' (in), or 'से' (from/by). Example: "मेरे सामर्थ्य से बाहर" (Beyond my capability).
यह कार्य मेरे सामर्थ्य से परे है। (This task is beyond my capability.)
In professional settings, you might discuss the 'Sāmarthya' of a system or a strategy. For instance, "The capability of this software to handle data is impressive." In Hindi: "इस सॉफ्टवेयर का डेटा संभालने का सामर्थ्य प्रभावशाली है।" Notice how 'Sāmarthya' comes at the end of the possessive phrase.
हमें अपनी आर्थिक सामर्थ्य के अनुसार ही खर्च करना चाहिए। (We should spend only according to our economic capability.)
Another common usage is in the context of endurance or tolerance. If someone is going through a tough time, one might say they have the 'Sāmarthya' to bear the pain. This gives the word a stoic, resilient quality. It is also used frequently in spiritual texts to describe the 'Sāmarthya' of the Divine or the soul.
लेखक ने अपनी रचना में शब्दों के सामर्थ्य का अद्भुत प्रयोग किया है। (The author has made wonderful use of the power/capability of words in his creation.)
It's important to note that 'Sāmarthya' is rarely pluralized in common usage. Even when referring to multiple types of abilities, the singular form often represents the collective potential. For example, "उसमें कई सामर्थ्य हैं" sounds less natural than "उसका सामर्थ्य बहुआयामी है" (His capability is multi-dimensional).
- Common Adjective Pairings
- अद्भुत (Wonderful), असीम (Infinite), बौद्धिक (Intellectual), शारीरिक (Physical), प्रशासनिक (Administrative).
संकट के समय ही मनुष्य के वास्तविक सामर्थ्य की परीक्षा होती है। (The real test of a person's capability occurs only during times of crisis.)
If you are watching a Bollywood movie or a casual sitcom, you might not hear सामर्थ्य often. However, in specific domains of Indian life, this word is ubiquitous. Understanding these contexts will help you recognize the word's 'aura'.
- News and Politics
- In Hindi news broadcasts (like Aaj Tak or NDTV India), anchors and politicians use this word to discuss national strength. "भारत का सैन्य सामर्थ्य" (India's military capability) is a frequent headline during defense parades or border discussions.
प्रधानमंत्री ने देश के युवाओं के सामर्थ्य पर भरोसा जताया। (The Prime Minister expressed confidence in the capability of the country's youth.)
In the corporate world in India, particularly in HR evaluations or leadership workshops conducted in Hindi, 'Sāmarthya' is used to describe an employee's potential. It sounds more respectful and professional than just saying 'kaabil' (capable). It implies a holistic view of the person's skills.
कंपनी को अपनी उत्पादन सामर्थ्य बढ़ानी होगी। (The company will have to increase its production capacity.)
Educational settings are another prime location. In parent-teacher meetings or academic reports, a teacher might say, "इस बच्चे में बहुत सामर्थ्य है" (This child has a lot of potential). It's a way of encouraging the student by highlighting their underlying ability rather than just their current marks.
Lastly, in religious or spiritual discourses (Pravachan), gurus often speak about the 'Atma-Sāmarthya' (the power of the soul). They argue that humans are unaware of their true capability because they are distracted by worldly desires. Here, the word takes on a metaphysical meaning.
- Legal and Official Documents
- In contracts or legal notices, 'Sāmarthya' might refer to the 'legal capacity' of a person to enter into an agreement (though 'Kshamata' is also used here, 'Sāmarthya' adds a layer of formal authority).
न्यायालय ने उसकी निर्णय लेने के सामर्थ्य पर सवाल उठाए। (The court raised questions about his capability to make decisions.)
Even advanced learners of Hindi can stumble when using सामर्थ्य. The most common errors involve gender, confusion with synonyms, and inappropriate register.
- Gender Confusion
- Mistake: Saying "उसकी सामर्थ्य" (Uski Sāmarthya). Correct: "उसका सामर्थ्य" (Uska Sāmarthya). Sāmarthya is masculine. Many learners assume abstract qualities ending in 'ya' might be feminine, but in this case, it follows the masculine pattern.
गलत: आपकी सामर्थ्य अच्छी है। (Wrong: Your capability is good - feminine).
सही: आपका सामर्थ्य अच्छा है। (Right: Your capability is good - masculine).
Another mistake is using 'Sāmarthya' for simple physical tasks where 'Takat' or 'Shakti' would be more appropriate. If you are asking someone if they can lift a heavy bag, saying "क्या आपमें इस बैग को उठाने का सामर्थ्य है?" sounds overly dramatic and stiff. Use it for significant abilities or potential.
Learners also confuse 'Sāmarthya' with 'Samarth' (the adjective). Remember: 'Samarth' means capable (he is capable), while 'Sāmarthya' is the noun (he has capability). You cannot say "वह सामर्थ्य है", you must say "वह समर्थ है" or "उसमें सामर्थ्य है".
- Confusing with 'Kshamata'
- While often interchangeable, 'Kshamata' is better for measurable limits (liters, numbers), while 'Sāmarthya' is better for abstract potential and power.
गलत: इस बाल्टी का सामर्थ्य 10 लीटर है। (Wrong: This bucket's 'capability' is 10 liters).
सही: इस बाल्टी की क्षमता 10 लीटर है। (Right: This bucket's capacity is 10 liters).
Lastly, watch out for the spelling. The 'ya' at the end is often dropped or mispronounced as 'samarth'. Ensure the 'ya' sound is distinct but subtle, as it is a crucial part of the noun form.
Hindi is rich with words denoting power and ability. Choosing the right one depends on the context and the 'flavor' of the sentence. Here is how सामर्थ्य compares to its peers.
- क्षमता (Kṣamatā)
- The most common synonym. It means 'capacity'. It's more neutral than Sāmarthya. Use Kṣamatā for technical limits or general abilities.
- शक्ति (Śakti)
- Means 'power' or 'energy'. It is more active and raw. Sāmarthya is the *potential* to use that power effectively.
- योग्यता (Yogyatā)
- Means 'qualification' or 'eligibility'. It implies that someone has the necessary training or traits for a role. Sāmarthya is broader—it includes qualification plus the inherent power to execute.
उसके पास योग्यता तो है, पर वह अपना सामर्थ्य नहीं दिखा पा रहा। (He has the qualification, but he isn't able to show his [full] capability.)
In literary Hindi, you might encounter 'विभव' (Vibhav) which means magnificence or power, or 'प्रताप' (Pratap) which means glory or prowess. These are even more formal than Sāmarthya and are usually reserved for kings, gods, or historical figures.
When discussing the 'capability' of a machine, 'Kṣamatā' is the standard choice. However, if you are discussing the 'capability' of a nation's space program, 'Sāmarthya' is preferred because it encompasses not just the rockets (machines) but the collective intellect and vision of the scientists.
- बल (Bal)
- Refers to physical force or strength. 'Sāmarthya' can include 'Bal', but 'Bal' cannot always include the intellectual and spiritual nuances of 'Sāmarthya'.
बुद्धि का सामर्थ्य शारीरिक बल से कहीं अधिक होता है। (The capability of the intellect is far greater than physical strength.)
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing it as 'Samarth' (dropping the final 'ya').
- Using a hard English 'th' sound instead of the soft Hindi aspirated 'th'.
- Shortening the initial 'aa' to a short 'a'.
- Over-emphasizing the 'r' sound.
- Mixing it up with 'Samarthya' (adding an extra 'a' at the end).
