Sense
1
:
property, real estate, assets
noun, feminine
Synonyms: जायदाद (jaaydaad), मिल्कियत (milkiyat, less common), असबाब (asbaab, literary)
Frequency: high
Cultural Note: This is the word you will see on legal documents, in news reports about disputes, and on government forms -- it carries a formal, almost bureaucratic weight, the kind of word a lawyer or a news anchor uses rather than a friend chatting about their new scooter. Related idea: जायदाद (jaaydaad) is the more everyday word for the same concept, especially in conversations about inheritance within a family.
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners often reach for यह मेरी संपत्ति है (yah merii sampatti hai, 'this is my property') in casual speech about small personal belongings; native speakers reserve संपत्ति (sampatti) for real estate, land, or substantial holdings, and would say चीज़ (chiiz) or सामान (saamaan) for everyday items. 2) It is grammatically feminine, so possessives and adjectives must agree accordingly -- मेरी संपत्ति (merii sampatti), not मेरा संपत्ति.

:
wealth, total assets/worth
noun, feminine
Synonyms: धन (dhan), दौलत (daulat), माल (maal, colloquial)
