सारणी (saarnii)
noun
A formal, written-register word meaning 'table' or 'chart' -- the kind of grid of rows and columns you'd find in a textbook, report, or spreadsheet. It has essentially one core meaning.
Sense
1
:
table/chart (rows and columns of data)
noun, feminine
Synonyms: टेबल (tebal, borrowed word, refers to furniture not data-tables), तालिका (taalikaa)
Frequency: low
Cultural Note: You'll meet this word most often in compounds like समय-सारणी (samay-saarnii, 'timetable/schedule') pinned up in schools and railway stations, or in textbooks introducing a गुणा सारणी (gunaa saarnii, 'multiplication table'). It belongs to the written, official register -- the kind of Hindi you see printed on a form or a syllabus, not the kind you'd use chatting with a friend.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes reach for टेबल (tebal) to mean a data table, but in everyday Hindi टेबल (tebal) almost always means the physical piece of furniture; सारणी (saarnii) or तालिका (taalikaa) is what you want for rows-and-columns data. 2) This word is bookish -- in casual speech about, say, a train timetable, people are just as likely to say टाइम टेबल (taaim tebal) or समय-सारणी (samay-saarnii) rather than सारणी (saarnii) alone.
