- Aapurti is the Hindi word for 'supply', essential for daily utility and business contexts.
- It is a feminine noun, so use 'ki' and feminine verb endings (e.g., 'aapurti achhi hai').
- Commonly paired with 'Paani' (water), 'Bijli' (power), and 'Maal' (goods).
- In economics, it is the opposite of 'Maang' (demand).
The word आपूर्ति (Aapurti) is a formal yet essential Hindi noun that translates primarily to 'supply' or 'provision'. At its core, it represents the bridge between a requirement and its fulfillment. Whether it is the water flowing through city pipes, the electricity powering a home, or the stock of grains in a local grocery store, 'Aapurti' is the technical term used to describe the act of making these resources available. In the context of shopping, which is highly relevant for A1-A2 learners, it refers to whether a shop has the items you need in stock. If a shopkeeper says, 'Maal ki aapurti ho rahi hai,' they mean the goods are being supplied or replenished.
- Etymological Root
- Derived from Sanskrit 'A-purti', where 'purti' means filling or completion. It literally means 'to fill up' a void or a need.
- Grammatical Gender
- It is a feminine noun. Therefore, we say 'Aapurti achhi hai' (The supply is good) rather than 'achha'.
- Economic Context
- In business, it is the counterpart to 'Maang' (Demand). The 'Maang-Aapurti' (Demand-Supply) dynamic governs market prices.
शहर में पानी की आपूर्ति कल सुबह बाधित रहेगी। (The water supply in the city will be disrupted tomorrow morning.)
त्योहारों के दौरान मिठाइयों की आपूर्ति बढ़ जाती है। (The supply of sweets increases during festivals.)
दुकानदार ने सामान की आपूर्ति के लिए ऑर्डर दिया। (The shopkeeper placed an order for the supply of goods.)
रक्त की आपूर्ति अस्पताल में कम है। (The blood supply in the hospital is low.)
बिजली की आपूर्ति चौबीस घंटे उपलब्ध है। (Electricity supply is available twenty-four hours.)
- Synonym: Rasad
- Often used in military or logistics contexts for rations/supplies.
- Synonym: Pradan
- More general 'giving' or 'providing', whereas Aapurti is specifically about meeting a need.
Understanding 'Aapurti' allows you to navigate administrative, commercial, and daily life situations in India. Whether you are dealing with a landlord about water issues or a wholesaler about business stock, this word is your primary tool for discussing the flow of resources.
Using 'आपूर्ति' correctly requires understanding its role as a feminine noun and its common verbal pairings. In Hindi, nouns like 'Aapurti' don't stand alone; they are usually the object of an action. The most common construction is [Noun] + की + आपूर्ति. For example, 'Doodh ki aapurti' (Supply of milk). Because it is feminine, any adjectives modifying it must take the feminine form (e.g., 'nirantar aapurti' - continuous supply).
Common Verb Pairings
- आपूर्ति करना (Aapurti Karna): To supply. 'Sarkar anaaj ki aapurti karti hai' (The government supplies grain).
- आपूर्ति होना (Aapurti Hona): To be supplied. 'Yahan pani ki aapurti roz hoti hai' (Water is supplied here daily).
- आपूर्ति रोकना (Aapurti Rokna): To stop/cut off supply. 'Company ne maal ki aapurti rok di' (The company stopped the supply of goods).
- आपूर्ति बहाल करना (Aapurti Bahal Karna): To restore supply. 'Bijli ki aapurti bahal ho gayi hai' (Electricity supply has been restored).
In a shopping context, you might ask a shopkeeper: 'Is saaman ki aapurti kab tak hogi?' (By when will the supply of this item happen?). This is more formal than asking 'Ye kab aayega?' (When will this come?), and it sounds more professional, especially in business dealings. If you are describing a shortage, you would say 'Aapurti mein kami' (Shortage in supply). Conversely, 'Paryapt aapurti' means 'Adequate supply'.
You will encounter 'आपूर्ति' in several distinct environments, ranging from the mundane to the highly technical. In daily life, the most common place is the News. Headlines frequently mention 'Bijli ki aapurti' (Power supply) or 'Paani ki aapurti' (Water supply) during maintenance or shortages. If there is a strike by truck drivers, the news will report a 'Maal ki aapurti mein badha' (Hinderance in the supply of goods).
In Business and Economics, 'Aapurti' is a foundational term. You will hear it in discussions about 'Aapurti Shrinkhla' (Supply Chain). Managers often talk about 'Aapurti prabandhan' (Supply management). If you are studying for a competitive exam in India or reading a financial newspaper like 'Dainik Jagran' or 'Economic Times Hindi', this word appears in almost every article regarding trade and manufacturing.
Lastly, in Government and Administration, 'Aapurti Vibhag' (Supply Department) is a specific government wing responsible for distributing essential commodities like kerosene, wheat, and sugar to the public through 'Ration Shops'. When people talk about their 'Ration Card', they are indirectly dealing with the state's 'Aapurti' system.
One of the most frequent errors learners make is confusing 'आपूर्ति' (Aapurti) with 'वितरण' (Vitaran). While they are related, they are not identical. Aapurti is the act of providing or making something available (Supply), whereas Vitaran is the act of handing it out or distributing it to individuals (Distribution). For example, a warehouse 'supplies' (aapurti) a store, but the store 'distributes' (vitaran) to customers.
Another mistake is the Gender Agreement. Since 'Aapurti' is feminine, many learners mistakenly use masculine verbs or adjectives. Incorrect: 'Aapurti ruk gaya' (The supply stopped - Masculine). Correct: 'Aapurti ruk gayi' (Feminine). Always remember the 'i' sound at the end of the verb when 'Aapurti' is the subject.
Finally, don't confuse it with 'Prapti' (Receipt/Getting). 'Aapurti' is the giving end of the logistics chain, while 'Prapti' is the receiving end. If you say 'Mujhe aapurti mili', it sounds slightly awkward; it is better to say 'Mujhe saaman mila' or 'Aapurti ho gayi'.
To enrich your vocabulary, it is helpful to know words that orbit the concept of 'Aapurti'. रसद (Rasad) is a very common synonym, particularly in the context of food and essential supplies for a group or army. If you are talking about a camping trip or a disaster relief operation, 'Rasad' is often used instead of 'Aapurti'.
संभरण (Sambharan) is a highly formal, almost purely academic or legal term for supply. You will rarely hear this in conversation, but you might see it in a contract or a textbook. प्रदान (Pradan) is a more general term for 'providing' or 'granting'. While you can 'pradan' (provide) a service, 'aapurti' is strictly for tangible goods or utility resources like water and power.
उपलब्धता (Upalabdhta) means 'availability'. While 'Aapurti' is the action of supplying, 'Upalabdhta' is the state of being available. If the 'Aapurti' is good, the 'Upalabdhta' will be high. Understanding these nuances helps you choose the right word for the right level of formality.
