नियमित (niymit)

adjective A single-sense adjective meaning 'regular' or 'according to rule' -- used for schedules, habits, and routines. Related to नियम (niyam, 'rule'), which the learner may already know.
Sense 1 : regular, following a fixed schedule or rule
adjective
Synonyms: नियमित रूप से (niymit roop se, adverbial phrase form), समय पर (samay par, scope: 'on time' rather than 'regular')
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You'll hear this constantly in the context of health and daily discipline -- doctors and elders alike love to say things like नियमित व्यायाम (niymit vyaayaam, 'regular exercise') or नियमित दवा लें (niymit davaa len, 'take your medicine regularly'). It carries a slightly formal, advice-giving tone compared to more casual ways of describing a routine.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often try to use नियमित (niymit) itself as an adverb (e.g. to mean 'regularly'); in practice speakers add रूप से (roop se) or use the adverbial phrase नियमित रूप से (niymit roop se, 'on a regular basis') to get the adverbial sense. 2) Don't confuse with नियम (niyam, 'rule', a noun) -- नियमित (niymit) is the adjective built from it, not the rule itself.
