समाप्त करना em 30 segundos
- समाप्त करना is a formal Hindi verb meaning 'to finish' or 'to end', commonly used in professional and academic settings.
- It is a conjunct verb where 'समाप्त' is the adjective and 'करना' is the functional verb that changes with tense.
- In the past tense, it follows the 'ne' rule, meaning the verb agrees with the gender and number of the object.
- While 'खत्म करना' is used in daily speech, 'समाप्त करना' is preferred for official announcements and formal writing.
The Hindi verb समाप्त करना (samāpt karnā) is a foundational conjunct verb used to denote the conclusion or termination of an action, event, or state. It is composed of the adjective 'समाप्त' (finished/ended) and the light verb 'करना' (to do). While 'खत्म करना' (khatam karnā) is its more common, everyday counterpart derived from Persian, 'समाप्त करना' carries a slightly more formal, polished, and Sanskritic tone, making it ideal for professional, academic, and literary contexts.
- Grammatical Structure
- It functions as a transitive verb. In the perfective aspect (past tense), the subject takes the 'ne' (ने) particle, and the verb agrees with the object. For example: 'मैंने काम समाप्त किया' (I finished the work).
- Nuance of Completion
- Unlike 'पूरा करना' (to complete/fulfill), which implies reaching a goal or filling a gap, 'समाप्त करना' focuses specifically on the act of ending or stopping something that was ongoing.
"कृपया अपनी बातचीत समाप्त करें, सभा शुरू होने वाली है।"
लेखक ने अपनी कहानी को एक सुखद मोड़ पर समाप्त किया।
- Formal vs Informal
- Use 'समाप्त' in exams, letters, and speeches. Use 'खत्म' with friends and family.
Using समाप्त करना correctly requires understanding its conjugation as a conjunct verb. The heavy lifting is done by 'करना', while 'समाप्त' remains static.
- Present Tense: मैं अपना होमवर्क समाप्त करता हूँ (I finish my homework).
- Future Tense: हम कल यह प्रोजेक्ट समाप्त करेंगे (We will finish this project tomorrow).
- Past Tense (Perfective): उसने अपनी यात्रा समाप्त की (He/She finished his/her journey). Note: 'यात्रा' is feminine, so 'किया' becomes 'की'.
Subject + Object + समाप्त + [Conjugated 'करना']
