नियुक्ति (niyukti)
noun
A formal noun meaning 'appointment' in the sense of a job posting or official assignment -- the paperwork-and-office-order sense, not a meeting scheduled for a time.
Sense
1
:
appointment to a post/job
noun, feminine
Synonyms: नियुक्तिकरण (niyuktikran, rare), तैनाती (tainaatii, posting, everyday), भर्ती (bhartii, recruitment/hiring)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: This is the word you will see stamped on a सरकारी नियुक्ति पत्र (sarkaarii niyukti patr, 'government appointment letter') -- one of the most treasured pieces of paper in a middle-class Indian household, since a पक्की नौकरी (pakkii naukrii, 'permanent job') often starts with exactly this letter. It belongs to office and government registers rather than casual chat about plans with friends.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often reach for नियुक्ति (niyukti) when they mean a scheduled meeting or appointment with a doctor -- that sense uses मिलने का समय (milne kaa samay) or अपॉइंटमेंट (apointment), never नियुक्ति (niyukti). 2) The verb pairing is नियुक्त करना (niyukt karnaa, to appoint someone) and नियुक्त होना (niyukt honaa, to be appointed) -- नियुक्ति (niyukti) itself is only the noun and does not conjugate as a verb.
