अभिमानित
अभिमानित 30초 만에
- अभिमानित is a formal Hindi adjective meaning 'arrogant' or 'puffed up with pride'.
- It is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Abhiman' and is used mostly in literary contexts.
- Unlike 'Garvit' (positive pride), 'Abhimanit' almost always has a negative connotation.
- It describes a state of being where success or power has led to an inflated ego.
The Hindi word अभिमानित (Abhimānit) is a sophisticated adjective derived from the Sanskrit root 'Abhimāna'. To understand this word, one must first navigate the delicate spectrum of 'pride' in Indian philosophy and linguistics. Unlike the word 'Garvit' (गर्वित), which usually denotes a healthy, positive sense of pride or honor—such as a parent feeling proud of a child's achievement—अभिमानित carries a heavier, often more complex weight. It describes a state of being where pride has transitioned into the realm of self-importance or even arrogance. When someone is described as अभिमानित, it suggests they are not just satisfied with an accomplishment, but are 'puffed up' by it, potentially to the point of looking down upon others.
- Linguistic Root
- Derived from 'Abhi' (towards/excessive) + 'Māna' (respect/thought/opinion). It literally signifies an excessive opinion of oneself.
In everyday conversation, you might not hear अभिमानित as frequently as its noun form 'Abhimān' or the more common adjective 'Ghamandī'. However, in literature, formal speeches, and classical storytelling, it is the precise tool used to describe a character's internal transformation from humility to ego. It is a 'state of being' word. It implies that a specific event or status has 'made' the person proud. For example, a king might become अभिमानित after winning a series of battles, leading to his eventual downfall—a classic trope in Indian epics like the Ramayana or Mahabharata.
वह अपनी संपत्ति के कारण अत्यधिक अभिमानित हो गया है। (He has become excessively proud/arrogant because of his wealth.)
Psychologically, being अभिमानित is viewed as a barrier to learning and spiritual growth in many Indian traditions. It represents the 'Ahamkara' (ego) taking control. Therefore, when a teacher or a mentor uses this word, it often serves as a subtle warning. It suggests that the pride felt is not a stable foundation but a volatile inflation of the self that might lead to a lack of empathy or a refusal to see the truth. In modern contexts, it can be used to critique public figures or individuals who display a sense of entitlement after achieving success.
- Emotional Nuance
- It captures the specific moment when success turns into a vice. It is the 'poisoned' version of pride.
सफलता के शिखर पर पहुँचकर भी हमें अभिमानित नहीं होना चाहिए। (Even after reaching the pinnacle of success, we should not become arrogant.)
Furthermore, the suffix '-it' makes it a passive adjective, implying that the person has been 'affected' by pride. This is a crucial distinction. It's not just a personality trait (like being a 'proud person'), but a condition that has overtaken them. In literary analysis, identifying a protagonist as अभिमानित often foreshadows their 'Hamartia' or fatal flaw. The word acts as a mirror to the soul, reflecting how external achievements have altered the internal character. To use this word correctly, one must feel the shift from 'I am happy with my work' to 'I am better than everyone else because of my work.'
- Usage in Media
- Often used in historical dramas (period pieces) or news editorials discussing political hubris.
उसका अभिमानित व्यवहार उसकी हार का कारण बना। (His arrogant behavior became the cause of his defeat.)
Using अभिमानित (Abhimānit) correctly requires an understanding of Hindi adjective-noun agreement and the typical sentence structures where this word flourishes. As an adjective, it usually precedes the noun it describes or follows a linking verb to describe the subject. Because it is a 'Tatsama' word (borrowed directly from Sanskrit), it retains a formal tone, making it ideal for written essays, formal speeches, or describing historical and mythological figures.
- Sentence Structure 1: Attributive Use
- [Adjective] + [Noun] + [Verb]. Example: 'अभिमानित व्यक्ति हमेशा अकेला रह जाता है।' (An arrogant person always ends up alone.)
In the attributive position, अभिमानित directly qualifies the person. It is important to note that while the word itself doesn't change form for gender as strictly as 'A-ending' adjectives (like 'Kālā' to 'Kālī'), in very formal Sanskritized Hindi, you might see feminine variations, but in standard modern Hindi, अभिमानित is generally treated as invariant when used as an adjective. However, the context of the sentence will always clarify the gender through the verb or the noun.
एक अभिमानित राजा ने विद्वानों का अपमान किया। (An arrogant king insulted the scholars.)
- Sentence Structure 2: Predicative Use
- [Subject] + [Complement] + [Verb]. Example: 'वह अपनी जीत से अभिमानित था।' (He was puffed up with pride by his victory.)
The predicative use is very common when explaining the *reason* for the pride. Notice the use of the postposition 'se' (from/by) to indicate the cause of the arrogance. This structure is perfect for analyzing character motivations in literature. You are not just saying someone is arrogant; you are saying they have *become* arrogant due to a specific catalyst like power, beauty, or wealth.
क्या तुम अपनी छोटी सी सफलता पर इतने अभिमानित हो गए? (Did you become so arrogant over such a small success?)
Another sophisticated way to use अभिमानित is in contrast with words like 'vinamra' (humble). This creates a balanced sentence that highlights the negative quality of the word. For example: 'सच्चा विद्वान कभी अभिमानित नहीं होता, बल्कि वह हमेशा विनम्र रहता है।' (A true scholar is never arrogant; rather, he always remains humble.) This usage is very common in moralistic writing or philosophical discourses.
- Common Contexts
- 1. Describing a villain's downfall. 2. Criticizing someone's attitude. 3. Educational moral stories. 4. Formal debates about ethics.
उनका अभिमानित चेहरा सब कुछ बयां कर रहा था। (His arrogant face was telling everything.)
Finally, remember that अभिमानित is a 'heavy' word. If you use it to describe a friend who is just happy about a new car, it might sound overly dramatic or even insulting. Save it for situations where the pride is truly problematic or where you want to evoke a classical, literary atmosphere. It is the difference between calling someone 'stuck-up' (informal) and 'vainglorious' (formal/literary).
In the modern linguistic landscape of India, अभिमानित (Abhimānit) lives in specific 'islands' of communication. While you might not hear it shouted in a busy Mumbai vegetable market, you will certainly encounter it in the hallowed halls of Hindi literature, in the profound dialogues of historical TV serials, and in the rhythmic verses of traditional poetry. Understanding where to hear this word is key to mastering its register.
- 1. Literature and Academic Texts
- If you pick up a novel by Premchand or a philosophical essay by Acharya Ramchandra Shukla, 'Abhimanit' is used to dissect the human ego. It is the standard term for literary criticism when discussing characters who suffer from hubris.
One of the most prominent places you will hear this word is in 'Pauranik' (mythological) dramas. Shows like *Ramayan* or *Mahabharat* use highly Sanskritized Hindi (Shuddh Hindi) to maintain an aura of divinity and antiquity. In these shows, when a demon king like Ravana or a proud warrior like Duryodhana speaks, or when the narrator describes them, अभिमानित is the go-to adjective. It sets a tone of gravitas that the common word 'Ghamandi' simply cannot achieve.
'तुम अपनी शक्तियों के मद में अभिमानित हो चुके हो!' (You have become arrogant in the intoxication of your powers! - A common trope in mythological dialogues.)
You will also hear this word in formal public speaking, especially by politicians or social reformers who are critiquing the 'ego of the elite.' It is used in editorials in Hindi newspapers like *Dainik Jagran* or *Navbharat Times* to describe the attitude of bureaucracy or the 'arrogance of power' (सत्ता का अभिमान). In these contexts, the word serves as a powerful rhetorical tool to signal moral disapproval.
- 2. Religious and Spiritual Discourses (Pravachan)
- Gurus and spiritual leaders frequently use 'Abhimanit' to describe the 'Maya' (illusion) of the self. They teach that a person who is 'Abhimanit' cannot receive divine grace.
जब तक मन अभिमानित है, तब तक ज्ञान संभव नहीं है। (As long as the mind is arrogant/puffed up, knowledge is not possible.)
Lastly, you might encounter it in high-level Hindi debates (Vaad-Vivaad) in schools or universities. Students use it to add weight to their arguments. It's a word that demands respect from the listener because it shows the speaker has a deep command of the language. If you use it in a conversation with a native speaker, they will immediately perceive you as a serious student of Hindi who has moved beyond basic survival phrases into the realm of intellectual expression.
- 3. Formal News and Documentaries
- Used when narrating the history of fallen empires or describing the psychological profile of a historical tyrant.
इतिहास गवाह है कि अभिमानित शासकों का अंत बुरा होता है। (History is witness that arrogant rulers have a bad end.)
Navigating the word अभिमानित (Abhimānit) can be tricky for English speakers because the English word 'proud' is often positive, while 'arrogant' is always negative. In Hindi, the distinction is even more granular. The most common mistake learners make is using अभिमानित when they actually mean to give a compliment. If you tell a friend, "I am अभिमानित of you," you are essentially saying "I am arrogant because of you," which makes no sense and sounds insulting.
- Mistake 1: Confusing 'Abhimanit' with 'Garvit'
- This is the 'False Friend' of Hindi pride words. 'Garvit' (गर्वित) is what you use for 'I am proud of my country' or 'I am proud of my son'. 'Abhimanit' is for 'He is too proud for his own good.'
Another mistake involves the register of the word. Since अभिमानित is quite formal, using it in a very casual setting (like at a party with friends) can make you sound like a character from a 19th-century play. While it's not grammatically 'wrong' to use it casually, it creates a 'mismatch of tone.' For casual arrogance, the word 'Ghamandī' (घमंडी) or even 'Akadu' (अकड़ू) is much more appropriate. Using अभिमानित requires a certain level of seriousness in the surrounding vocabulary.
❌ मुझे तुम पर अभिमानित है। (Incorrect: I am arrogant of you.)
✅ मुझे तुम पर गर्व है। (Correct: I am proud of you.)
Grammatically, learners often struggle with the 'it' suffix. They might try to use 'Abhiman' (the noun) where 'Abhimanit' (the adjective) is required. For example, saying "He is pride" instead of "He is proud." Remember: Abhiman is the feeling; Abhimanit is the person who has the feeling. Also, ensure you don't confuse it with 'Abhimani' (अभिमानी). While 'Abhimani' is also an adjective meaning arrogant, it describes a person's general character, whereas अभिमानित often describes a person who has *become* proud due to a specific event.
- Mistake 2: Subject-Verb Agreement with 'Hona'
- Learners often forget that 'Abhimanit' is a state. You don't 'do' Abhimanit; you 'become' (hona) it. Always pair it with 'ho gaya', 'ho rahi hai', etc.
❌ वह बहुत अभिमानित करता है। (Incorrect: He 'does' arrogant.)
✅ वह बहुत अभिमानी है। (Correct: He is very arrogant.) or वह अभिमान करता है। (He does/shows pride.)
Lastly, be careful with pronunciation. The 'bh' in 'Abhi' is an aspirated 'b'. If you pronounce it as a plain 'b', it might sound like 'Abimanit', which isn't a word. Similarly, the 't' at the end is a soft dental 't' (like in 'th' in 'thin' but unaspirated), not the hard 't' found in English words like 'Table'. Mispronouncing these sounds can make the word unrecognizable even if used in the right context.
Hindi is rich with synonyms for 'pride' and 'arrogance,' each carrying a unique flavor and level of formality. To master अभिमानित (Abhimānit), you must see where it sits among its peers. This helps in choosing the right word for the right situation, whether you're writing a poem or arguing with a neighbor.
- 1. गर्वित (Garvit) vs. अभिमानित (Abhimānit)
- Garvit: Positive pride. Used for achievements, patriotism, and parental love.
Abhimanit: Negative pride. Used for ego, conceit, and arrogance.
If 'Garvit' is the warmth of the sun, 'Abhimanit' is the scorching heat that burns. Another close relative is घमंडी (Ghamandī). This is the most common word for 'arrogant' in spoken Hindi. While अभिमानित sounds literary and describes a state of mind, Ghamandī is a direct character label. If you call someone Ghamandī, you are calling them a 'jerk' or 'stuck-up'. It is much more blunt and less nuanced than अभिमानित.
वह एक घमंडी लड़का है। (He is an arrogant boy. - Casual/Direct)
उसका हृदय सफलता से अभिमानित हो उठा। (His heart became puffed up with pride from success. - Literary/Refined)
Then there is अहंकारी (Ahaṅkārī). Derived from 'Aham' (I) and 'Kara' (doer), this is a deeply philosophical word. It refers to the 'Ego-identity.' An Ahaṅkārī person is one who is deeply rooted in their own ego. It is often used in spiritual contexts to describe the root cause of human suffering. While अभिमानित is an adjective describing a state, Ahaṅkārī is both a noun and an adjective describing a person's fundamental spiritual flaw.
- 2. मग़रूर (Magrūr)
- This is an Urdu-origin word commonly used in Hindi. It has a poetic, slightly romanticized feel. You'll hear this in Bollywood songs and Ghazals. It means 'proud' or 'haughty' but with a more 'stylish' or 'aloof' connotation.
इतना मग़रूर होना अच्छा नहीं। (Being this haughty is not good. - Poetic/Urdu flavor)
Finally, for a very informal, slang-like term, people use अकड़ू (Akadū). This comes from 'Akad' (stiffness/swagger). It describes someone who walks with a stiff neck, metaphorically speaking. It's what kids might call a classmate who thinks they are too cool for everyone else. By knowing these alternatives, you can navigate the social hierarchies of Hindi conversation, choosing अभिमानित for your university essay and Akadū for a chat with your cousins.
- Summary Comparison
- - Garvit: +ve Pride (Formal)
- Abhimanit: -ve Pride (Formal/Literary)
- Ghamandi: Arrogant (General/Common)
- Magrur: Haughty (Poetic/Urdu)
- Akadū: Stuck-up (Informal/Slang)
How Formal Is It?

팁
Context is King
Only use 'Abhimanit' when you want to emphasize that someone's pride is a negative character flaw or a temporary state of ego.
The '-it' Suffix
Recognize that '-it' often creates adjectives in Hindi. This will help you understand words like 'Apmanit' (insulted) and 'Sammanit' (honored) as well.
Learn the Opposite
Always learn 'Abhimanit' with 'Vinamra' (humble). This binary pair is common in Hindi literature and helps solidify the meaning.
Be Careful with Insults
Calling someone 'Abhimanit' is a serious accusation of being stuck-up. Use it sparingly in personal relationships.
Essay Writing
If you are writing a Hindi essay on social issues, 'Abhimanit' is a great word to describe the attitude of powerful people who ignore the poor.
Soft 'T'
Keep the final 't' soft. Touch your tongue to the back of your upper teeth rather than the roof of your mouth.
Look for the Root
When you see 'Abhiman' in a text, you know the topic is pride. 'Abhimanit' just describes the person who has it.
Period Dramas
Watch shows like 'Ramayan' on YouTube. You will hear 'Abhimanit' used by characters to describe the villains' ego.

어원
Derived from Sanskrit 'अभिमानित' (Abhimānita). It is a combination of the prefix 'Abhi' (towards/intense) and the root 'Mān' (to think/respect), with the suffix 'it' (making it a past participle adjective).
원래 의미: In Sanskrit, it meant 'thought of', 'honored', or 'puffed up with pride'. Over time, the 'puffed up' meaning became the dominant one in Hindi.
Indo-Aryan (Sanskrit Tatsama).문화적 맥락
Be careful when calling someone 'Abhimanit' directly; it is a very strong and formal insult. It implies they have a deep character flaw.
In English, we often say 'I'm proud of you' as a good thing. In Hindi, never use 'Abhimanit' for this. Use 'Garv'.

자주 묻는 질문
10 질문No, you should use 'Garvit' (गर्वित) for positive pride like patriotism. Saying 'Abhimanit' would imply you are arrogant because of your country, which is not the intended meaning.
In modern movies, 'Ghamandi' or 'Akadu' is more common. However, in historical or mythological films (like Bahubali or Mahabharat), 'Abhimanit' is used frequently to match the grand tone.
It is an aspirated 'b'. Close your lips to make a 'b' sound, but release a puff of air at the same time, like 'b-h'. It's similar to the 'bh' in 'abhor' but more integrated.
In modern standard Hindi, 'Abhimanit' is used for both genders. In very high Sanskritized Hindi, one might say 'Abhimanita', but this is extremely rare today.
Yes, in 99% of contexts, it carries a negative connotation of vanity or arrogance. It is rarely, if ever, used to describe a healthy sense of achievement.
Register and Nuance. 'Ghamandi' is common/casual and describes a person. 'Abhimanit' is formal/literary and often describes a state someone has fallen into.
No, it is almost exclusively used for people or personified entities (like an 'abhimanit empire' or 'abhimanit heart').
Use 'ho gaya' (became) or 'tha' (was). For example: 'Vah abhimanit ho gaya tha' (He had become arrogant).
The root is the Sanskrit word 'Abhimana' (अभिमान), which means pride or self-conception.
It might sound a bit 'bookish' or overly formal. If you want to tease a friend for being proud, 'Ghamandi' or 'Akadu' is better. Use 'Abhimanit' for more serious discussions.

Summary
The word 'अभिमानित' (Abhimānit) is your go-to term for describing 'arrogance' in a formal or literary setting. Remember: Use 'Garvit' for 'I'm proud of you' and 'Abhimanit' for 'He's too full of himself.' Example: 'वह अपनी जीत पर अभिमानित हो गया' (He became arrogant over his win).
- अभिमानित is a formal Hindi adjective meaning 'arrogant' or 'puffed up with pride'.
- It is derived from the Sanskrit word 'Abhiman' and is used mostly in literary contexts.
- Unlike 'Garvit' (positive pride), 'Abhimanit' almost always has a negative connotation.
- It describes a state of being where success or power has led to an inflated ego.
Context is King
Only use 'Abhimanit' when you want to emphasize that someone's pride is a negative character flaw or a temporary state of ego.
The '-it' Suffix
Recognize that '-it' often creates adjectives in Hindi. This will help you understand words like 'Apmanit' (insulted) and 'Sammanit' (honored) as well.
Learn the Opposite
Always learn 'Abhimanit' with 'Vinamra' (humble). This binary pair is common in Hindi literature and helps solidify the meaning.
Be Careful with Insults
Calling someone 'Abhimanit' is a serious accusation of being stuck-up. Use it sparingly in personal relationships.
