कामयाबी (kaamyaabii)

noun A single-sense noun meaning 'success' -- the state or fact of succeeding at something, closely related to the adjective कामयाब (kaamyaab, 'successful').
Sense 1 : success, achievement
noun, feminine
Synonyms: सफलता (saphaltaa), जीत (jiit, focuses on winning/victory)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: Notice the dative-style framing that's so common in Hindi: success is something that 'comes to' or 'is obtained by' you (कामयाबी मिलना kaamyaabii milnaa) rather than something you actively 'get' the way English treats it -- the same body-as-recipient logic you've seen with पसंद आना (pasand aanaa) or नींद आना (niind aanaa). The adjective कामयाब (kaamyaab) is its everyday partner: वह कामयाब है (vah kaamyaab hai, 'he is successful') versus उसे कामयाबी मिली (use kaamyaabii milii, 'he achieved success').
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often reach for सफलता (saphaltaa) exclusively; कामयाबी (kaamyaabii) is just as common in everyday speech and sounds a touch warmer/less bookish. 2) The verb pairing is मिलना (milnaa) or हासिल होना (haasil honaa) -- 'success comes to someone' -- rather than a direct 'get' verb; a learner might wrongly say कामयाबी लेना (kaamyaabii lenaa) when कामयाबी हासिल करना (kaamyaabii haasil karnaa, 'to achieve success') or मुझे कामयाबी मिली (mujhe kaamyaabii milii, 'I got success') is the natural phrasing.
