महत्त्वपूर्ण (mahattvpoorn)
adjective
A single-sense adjective meaning 'important, significant'. Note the variant spelling महत्वपूर्ण (mahatvpoorn) without the doubled त, which is extremely common in everyday writing.
Sense

:
important, significant
adjective
Synonyms: ज़रूरी (zaroorii), अहम (aham), खास (khaas, scope: often 'special' rather than 'important')
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You'll meet this word constantly in newspapers, on the news, and in school essays -- it has a slightly formal, 'textbook' flavor compared to the everyday ज़रूरी (zaroorii). Think of महत्त्वपूर्ण (mahattvpoorn) as what you'd use to describe an important decision, meeting, or historical event, while ज़रूरी (zaroorii) is what you'd use for 'I need to buy milk, it's important.'
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often write or say महत्वपूर्ण (mahatvpoorn) with a single त -- both spellings are accepted and heard constantly, so don't worry about 'fixing' it. 2) This word is common in writing, news, and formal speech; in casual conversation, ज़रूरी (zaroorii) is usually the more natural choice for 'important'.
