मैं किसी निष्कर्ष पर नहीं पहुँचा हूँ।
main kisi nishkarsh par nahi pahuncha hoon.
I haven't reached any conclusion.
Meaning
States that one has not yet formed a final judgment or decision on a matter.
Cultural Background
In Indian offices, saying 'I don't know' can sometimes be seen as a lack of effort. Using 'I haven't reached a conclusion' shows that you are working on it but being careful. In Hindi literature and philosophy, 'Nishkarsh' is the standard way to end an essay. It is expected that you summarize your 'journey' of thought here. Court judgments in India often use highly Sanskritized Hindi. 'Nishkarsh' is a legal staple in written verdicts. When invited to a wedding or event you might not attend, using this phrase is a polite way to delay the 'no' without being rude.
Use 'Abhi tak'
Adding 'Abhi tak' (until now) makes the phrase sound more natural and emphasizes that you are still working on it.
Gender Check
Remember: If you are female, say 'pahuñchī hū̃'. If you are male, say 'pahuñchā hū̃'.
