आसानी (aasaanii)
noun
A feminine noun meaning 'ease, simplicity' -- almost always met in the fixed phrase आसानी से (aasaanii se, 'easily'). Related to the adjective आसान (aasaan, 'easy').
Sense
1
:
ease, facility, the quality of being easy
noun, feminine Most commonly used in the instrumental phrase आसानी से (aasaanii se, 'easily'), which functions as an adverb meaning 'with ease' or 'easily' -- this is by far the word's dominant real-world use.
Synonyms: सरलता (saraltaa), सुविधा (suvidhaa, convenience/comfort)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: You will hear आसानी से (aasaanii se, 'easily') constantly in everyday Delhi speech -- from a shopkeeper saying यह काम आसानी से हो जाएगा (yah kaam aasaanii se ho jaaegaa, 'this work will get done easily') to a friend reassuring you that something is manageable. It is the natural go-to whenever English speakers reach for '-ly' on 'easy'.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often try to say 'easily' with an adjective form of आसान (aasaan) directly modifying the verb, but Hindi requires the noun-plus-postposition frame आसानी से (aasaanii se, 'easily') -- there is no separate adverb form. 2) Do not confuse आसानी (aasaanii, ease, the quality) with आसान (aasaan, easy, describing a thing) -- one is a noun, the other an adjective, and mixing them up is a very common slip.
