At the A1 level, you should know that 'लिखित' (likhit) means 'written'. You will mostly see this word in school contexts, like 'लिखित परीक्षा' (written exam). It is the opposite of 'बोलना' (to speak) or 'मौखिक' (oral). If a teacher asks for a written answer, they might use this word. It's a formal way to say something is on paper. You can remember it because it looks like 'लिखना' (likhna), which means 'to write'. At this stage, just focus on the fact that it describes things like tests, letters, or instructions that are not just spoken but are visible as text.
As an A2 learner, you start using 'लिखित' in more official or structured sentences. You might need to ask for 'लिखित प्रमाण' (written proof) or 'लिखित अनुमति' (written permission). This level requires you to understand that 'लिखित' is an adjective. It doesn't change like a verb. You will use it to distinguish between things you say and things you write down. For example, 'मौखिक संदेश' (oral message) vs 'लिखित संदेश' (written message). You should also be able to recognize it in simple forms and signs in offices or schools.
At the B1 level, you should be comfortable using 'लिखित' in professional and academic settings. You will use phrases like 'लिखित रूप में' (in written form) to make your requests sound more formal. You'll understand its importance in legal or semi-legal contexts, such as 'लिखित समझौता' (written agreement). You should also be able to distinguish 'लिखित' from 'लिखा हुआ' (the more casual version). At this stage, you're expected to use 'लिखित' when writing formal letters or emails in Hindi to sound more native and professional.
By B2, you should understand the nuance 'लिखित' brings to historical and literary discussions. You'll use it to talk about 'लिखित इतिहास' (written history) or 'लिखित साक्ष्य' (written evidence) in debates or essays. You will also encounter it in complex compound words like 'हस्तलिखित' (handwritten) or 'अधोलिखित' (written below). You should be able to use it to describe the permanence of information. You'll also notice it in news headlines where 'लिखित आश्वासन' (written assurance) is a common phrase used for government promises.
At the C1 level, 'लिखित' becomes a tool for precise expression. You will use it to discuss the 'लिखित परंपरा' (written tradition) of India and how it contrasts with the 'मौखिक परंपरा' (oral tradition). You'll understand its usage in high-level legal documents, such as 'लिखित बयान' (written statement/affidavit). You should be able to use it metaphorically or in abstract discussions about the power of the written word. Your vocabulary will include related academic terms like 'लिपिबद्ध' and you'll know exactly when 'लिखित' provides the right tone of authority and finality.
For a C2 learner, 'लिखित' is a basic building block used to navigate the most sophisticated levels of Hindi. You will analyze 'लिखित साहित्य' (written literature) and its socio-political impact. You'll understand the etymological roots in Sanskrit and how they influence modern usage. You can use the word in complex legal, philosophical, or bureaucratic arguments without hesitation. You'll also be sensitive to the register, knowing that in extremely formal Sanskritized Hindi, 'लिखित' might even take gendered forms in specific archaic contexts, though you'll stick to the standard modern usage for clarity.

लिखित 30秒で

  • Likhit means 'written' in a formal or official context.
  • It is commonly used for exams, contracts, and legal proof.
  • It is the direct antonym of 'Maukhik' (oral/spoken).
  • Derived from Sanskrit, it is more professional than 'Likha hua'.

The Hindi word लिखित (likhit) is a formal adjective derived from the Sanskrit root 'likh' (to write). In its most fundamental sense, it translates to 'written' or 'in writing.' While the everyday word for 'written' might be 'लिखा हुआ' (likha hua), लिखित carries a weight of formality, legal validity, and official documentation. It is the word you encounter when dealing with contracts, examinations, historical records, and formal correspondence. Understanding लिखित is crucial because it distinguishes between the ephemeral nature of speech and the permanence of the written word. In a culture like India's, which transitioned from a profound oral tradition (Vedic chanting) to a robust bureaucratic and literary tradition, this word bridges the gap between what is said and what is recorded.

Legal Context
In legal settings, an agreement is not considered fully binding in many circumstances unless it is in a लिखित format. This ensures there is a 'paper trail' or 'documentary evidence' (लिखित साक्ष्य).
Educational Context
Students in India often distinguish between their 'viva' or 'oral exam' (मौखिक परीक्षा) and their 'written exam' (लिखित परीक्षा). The latter is usually the more stressful and weighted component of the grade.

कृपया अपना आवेदन लिखित रूप में जमा करें। (Please submit your application in written form.)

Beyond just 'paper and ink,' the word is used metaphorically to imply something that is set in stone or officially recorded. For instance, a 'written guarantee' (लिखित गारंटी) provides a level of trust that a verbal promise cannot. In the digital age, लिखित also extends to digital text, emails, and messages, as long as the medium is textual rather than auditory. It is a word that commands respect and implies a certain level of seriousness and accountability.

यह एक लिखित समझौता है। (This is a written agreement.)

Historically, the concept of 'लिखित' was a revolution in the Indian subcontinent. While the Vedas were preserved through oral transmission for centuries, the advent of 'लिखित' scripts like Brahmi allowed for the administration of vast empires like that of Ashoka. The Ashokan edicts are perhaps the most famous early examples of 'लिखित' commands that have survived over two millennia. Today, the word remains a pillar of the Hindi language, used daily in news reports, government circulars, and academic textbooks. It is an essential adjective for anyone looking to navigate the formal and professional landscape of the Hindi-speaking world.

Using लिखित correctly requires understanding its role as an adjective that usually precedes a noun. It modifies nouns to indicate that their state is textual. Unlike verbs that change based on gender and number, लिखित is relatively stable, though it agrees with the noun it modifies in more complex Sanskritized Hindi; however, in standard modern Hindi, it functions quite simply. It is most commonly paired with words like 'परीक्षा' (exam), 'रूप' (form), 'दस्तावेज़' (document), and 'प्रमाण' (proof).

Formal Requests
When asking for something official, you might say, 'मुझे आपकी लिखित अनुमति चाहिए' (I need your written permission). This usage is standard in corporate and governmental offices.
Academic Contexts
In schools, teachers might say, 'कल आपकी लिखित परीक्षा होगी' (Tomorrow will be your written exam). Here, it distinguishes the exam from an oral or practical one.

इतिहास के लिखित स्रोत बहुत महत्वपूर्ण हैं। (Written sources of history are very important.)

One interesting aspect of लिखित is its use in the phrase 'लिखित में' (in writing). This is a very common adverbial phrase. For example, 'उसने मुझे लिखित में आश्वासन दिया' (He gave me an assurance in writing). This highlights the shift from a verbal promise to a documented one. In contrast to 'मौखिक' (oral), लिखित implies a higher degree of accountability. If someone says 'यह बात लिखित है,' they mean it is documented and cannot be easily denied.

क्या आपके पास कोई लिखित प्रमाण है? (Do you have any written proof?)

In creative writing, लिखित can be used to describe ancient manuscripts (लिखित पांडुलिपि) or even the 'written word' in a philosophical sense. It is a versatile word that scales from the mundane (a written note) to the profound (the written constitution). When constructing sentences, remember that लिखित usually sits right before the noun it describes, acting as a clear qualifier of the medium of information.

You will encounter लिखित in environments where precision and documentation are paramount. It is not a word you would typically use while chatting with friends at a café about a movie, but it is the word you will hear the moment the conversation turns to business, law, or formal education. In Indian news broadcasts, especially during reports on government policy or court rulings, the term 'लिखित वक्तव्य' (written statement) is frequently used. This refers to the formal documents submitted by officials or lawyers to the court.

In the Office
Human Resources might ask for a 'लिखित त्यागपत्र' (written resignation). A verbal resignation is often considered insufficient until the 'लिखित' version is received.
In the News
News anchors often say, 'सरकार ने लिखित रूप में आश्वासन दिया है' (The government has given an assurance in written form), emphasizing that the promise is now official record.

संविधान एक लिखित दस्तावेज़ है। (The Constitution is a written document.)

Another common place to hear this word is in the context of competitive exams (like the UPSC or banking exams in India). Candidates often discuss the 'लिखित परीक्षा' (written exam) versus the 'साक्षात्कार' (interview). In this context, लिखित represents the first hurdle of objective or descriptive testing. You might also hear it in historical documentaries discussing 'लिखित इतिहास' (written history) as opposed to 'प्रागैतिहासिक' (prehistoric) times where no written records exist.

हमें लिखित शिकायत दर्ज करनी चाहिए। (We should file a written complaint.)

Furthermore, in the world of literature and publishing, authors and editors use लिखित to refer to the 'written text' (लिखित पाठ). It is also used in religious contexts when referring to 'लिखित उपदेश' (written sermons or teachings). Whether it is a traffic police officer asking for a 'लिखित स्पष्टीकरण' (written explanation) for a violation or a scholar discussing 'लिखित परंपरा' (written tradition), the word is ubiquitous in any situation that demands a formal, lasting record of information.

One of the most frequent mistakes learners make is confusing लिखित (likhit) with the simple past tense of the verb 'to write,' which is 'लिखा' (likha). While they both relate to writing, लिखित is a formal adjective, whereas 'लिखा' is a verb or a more casual adjective. For instance, saying 'मैंने एक लिखित पत्र भेजा' (I sent a written letter) is correct but very formal. In a casual setting, you would just say 'मैंने एक पत्र लिखा' (I wrote a letter). Using लिखित where a simple verb is needed makes the sentence sound stiff and robotic.

Mistake: Over-formalization
Saying 'मेरा नाम लिखित है' to mean 'My name is written' is awkward. Instead, use 'मेरा नाम लिखा हुआ है'. लिखित is for official categories, not simple states of being.
Mistake: Gender Agreement
Some learners try to change 'लिखित' to 'लिखिता' for feminine nouns. While this happens in pure Sanskrit, in modern Hindi, लिखित remains invariant. It is 'लिखित परीक्षा' (fem.) and 'लिखित दस्तावेज़' (masc.).

Incorrect: यह पत्र लिखिता है।
Correct: यह पत्र लिखित है। (This letter is written.)

Another common error is the redundant use of 'लिखित में लिखा हुआ' (written in writing). Since लिखित already means written, adding 'लिखा हुआ' is unnecessary. You should choose one or the other based on the desired level of formality. Furthermore, learners often forget the contrast word 'मौखिक' (oral). If you are describing an exam, using लिखित without knowing 'मौखिक' leaves your vocabulary incomplete, as they are almost always used as a pair in educational and legal contexts.

Avoid: मुझे लिखा हुआ परीक्षा देनी है।
Use: मुझे लिखित परीक्षा देनी है। (I have to give a written exam.)

Lastly, be careful with the word 'हस्तलिखित' (hastalikhit), which means 'handwritten.' While all हस्तलिखित documents are लिखित, not all लिखित documents are हस्तलिखित (they could be typed or printed). Using the general term लिखित is safer unless you specifically want to emphasize that something was written by hand. Misusing these can lead to confusion in historical or archival contexts where the distinction is vital.

While लिखित is the standard formal term for 'written,' several other words share the same semantic space, each with its own nuance. Understanding these alternatives will help you choose the right word for the right situation, whether you are writing a poem, a legal brief, or a text message.

लिखा हुआ (Likha hua)
The most common, everyday alternative. Use this for casual situations.
Example: 'कागज़ पर क्या लिखा हुआ है?' (What is written on the paper?)
हस्तलिखित (Hastalikhit)
Specifically means 'handwritten' (Hasta = hand + likhit = written). Used for manuscripts or personal notes.
Example: 'यह गांधीजी का हस्तलिखित पत्र है।' (This is a handwritten letter by Gandhiji.)
लिपिबद्ध (Lipibaddh)
A highly formal, literary term meaning 'recorded in script' or 'codified.' Often used for oral traditions that were later written down.
Example: 'लोक कथाओं को लिपिबद्ध किया गया।' (The folk tales were recorded in writing.)

Comparison:
1. मौखिक (Maukhik) - Oral/Verbal
2. लिखित (Likhit) - Written (Formal)
3. मुद्रित (Mudrit) - Printed

In some contexts, you might see the word 'कलमबद्ध' (kalambaddh), which literally means 'bound by the pen.' This is a more poetic way of saying 'written down' or 'recorded.' For example, 'उसने अपनी यादों को कलमबद्ध किया' (He penned down his memories). While लिखित is clinical and official, 'कलमबद्ध' is evocative and personal.

यह जानकारी लिखित रूप में उपलब्ध है। (This information is available in written form.)

In legal documents, you might also see 'अधोलिखित' (adholikhit), which means 'written below' or 'the following.' This is very common in contracts ('अधोलिखित शर्तों के अनुसार' - according to the conditions written below). Understanding लिखित as the core word allows you to easily grasp these more complex variations. Whether you are distinguishing between 'typed' and 'handwritten' or 'oral' and 'documented,' लिखित remains the most important anchor word in this category.

How Formal Is It?

豆知識

The root 'likh' originally meant to 'scratch'. This is because ancient writing in India was often scratched onto palm leaves with a stylus before ink was applied.

In any legal context, 'लिखित' is the only word used. 'लिखा हुआ' will sound out of place in a courtroom.

Root Recognition

If you see 'Likh', it always relates to writing. This helps you guess the meaning of new words like 'Lekhak' or 'Likhawat'.

Exam Names

If you are taking a Hindi exam, look for the section 'लिखित भाग' (Written Part).

Compound Words

Try using 'हस्तलिखित' for 'handwritten' to add variety to your writing.

Clear Aspiration

The 'kh' sound is key. Practice saying 'kh' like a sharp breath out.

Indian Bureaucracy

Understand that 'लिखित' is the language of the 'file'. In India, if it's not on the file (likhit), it doesn't exist.

Visual Link

Visualize a pen (Kalam) and a paper (Kagaz) whenever you hear 'Likhit'.

暗記しよう

記憶術

Think of 'Likhit' as 'Link-it'. When you write something down, you 'link it' to the paper permanently. 'Likh' is the root for writing in Hindi, just like 'Script' is in English.

視覚的連想

Imagine a heavy, old-fashioned wax seal on a scroll. That scroll is 'लिखित' (official and written). Compare it to a bubble of air which represents 'मौखिक' (spoken and gone).

Word Web

परीक्षा (Exam) प्रमाण (Proof) अनुमति (Permission) शिकायत (Complaint) दस्तावेज़ (Document) इतिहास (History) संविधान (Constitution) समझौता (Agreement)

チャレンジ

Try to find three things in your house that have 'लिखित' instructions. Say out loud: 'यह लिखित निर्देश है' (This is a written instruction).

語源

Derived from the Sanskrit word 'लिखित' (likhita), which is the past passive participle of the root 'लिख्' (likh), meaning 'to scratch, to furrow, to write'.

元の意味: Originally, it referred to things that were scratched or engraved onto surfaces like stone, clay, or birch bark (bhojpatra).

Indo-Aryan family, descending from Sanskrit through Prakrit and Apabhramsha into Modern Hindi.

文化的な背景

No specific sensitivities, but using 'लिखित' instead of 'लिखा हुआ' in personal emotional letters might make you sound cold or overly formal.

In English-speaking legal systems, 'in writing' is a standard requirement for contracts. 'लिखित' serves the exact same legal and social function in Hindi-speaking regions.

The Indian Constitution (Bharatiya Samvidhan) - The world's longest written (लिखित) constitution. Ashoka's Edicts - The earliest surviving written (लिखित) records of an Indian king. UPSC Exams - The 'Likhit Pariksha' (written exam) is known as one of the toughest in the world.

よくある質問

10 問

Yes, in modern Hindi, 'लिखित' can refer to emails, text messages, and digital documents because they are in written form, not oral.

'लिखा' is a verb ('He wrote'). 'लिखित' is an adjective ('The written exam'). Use 'लिखा' for actions and 'लिखित' for descriptions.

Yes, but 'हस्तलिखित' is more precise if you want to emphasize that it was written by hand.

The most common opposite is 'मौखिक' (Maukhik), which means oral or verbal.

Yes, it is a Tatsama word, meaning it is borrowed directly from Sanskrit into Hindi without changes.

Use it when you want to say 'in writing'. For example, 'मुझे यह लिखित में चाहिए' (I want this in writing).

It's common in formal or serious conversations, but in casual talk, people prefer 'लिखा हुआ'.
