अनुमति (anumti)
noun
A formal noun meaning 'permission' or 'consent' -- one core sense, used in requesting or granting official/formal approval.
Sense
1
:
permission, consent
noun, feminine
Synonyms: इजाज़त (ijaazat), अनुज्ञा (anugyaa, literary)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: This is the word you'll spot on government forms, college notices, and signs like बिना अनुमति प्रवेश वर्जित (binaa anumti pravesh varjit, 'entry without permission is prohibited') -- it belongs to the bureaucratic and written register. In everyday spoken Hindi, especially among friends or at home, इजाज़त (ijaazat) is far more natural: a child asking a parent, or a friend asking to borrow something, would say इजाज़त (ijaazat), not अनुमति (anumti).
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often reach for इजाज़त (ijaazat) in casual speech, but अनुमति (anumti) is the word you'll see on forms, signs, and official notices -- using it in a casual spoken request can sound a bit stiff or overly formal. 2) Paired with the verb देना (denaa, 'to give') or लेना (lenaa, 'to take') -- अनुमति देना (anumti denaa, 'to grant permission') and अनुमति लेना (anumti lenaa, 'to take/seek permission') are the standard collocations; don't substitute करना (karnaa).
