What is the meaning of decline in hindi?

I’d say, think of "decline" as having two main shades in Hindi: 1. Drop/Decrease → गिरावट, कमी, अवनति 2. Refusal/Reject → अस्वीकार करना, मना करना For example: - "Population decline" → जनसंख्या में गिरावट - "She declined the invitation" → उसने निमंत्रण अस्वीकार कर दिया That’s why dictionaries often give multiple Hindi meanings.

In Hindi, it depends on the context. To refuse something is ‘inkar karna’. A fall or decrease is often called ‘giravat’ or ‘patan’.

In Hindi, "decline" is often used as गिरावट (Girawat) in economics and statistics. For example, “There is a decline in the share market” becomes Share bazaar mein girawat aayi hai. But in polite speech, "decline" as in rejecting something can be translated as इंकार करना (Inkaar Karna) or मना करना (Mana Karna). The exact choice depends on whether you’re talking about a reduction or a refusal.

Sometimes "decline" is also used in a poetic sense in Hindi, like अवनति (Avanati) or पतन (Patan), meaning downfall or deterioration. For instance, "The empire is in decline" would be translated as Samrajya ki avnati ho rahi hai. So, when using this word in Hindi, always check the sentence context to choose the right word.

The English word "decline" can have multiple meanings, and in Hindi it translates differently based on context. For example: - As a verb (to refuse): mana karna (मना करना) - As a noun (a fall): giravat (गिरावट) - As a gradual weakening: kamzori (कमज़ोरी) So, if someone says "He declined the offer," it would mean usne prastaav ko mana kar diya. But if we say "There is a decline in sales," it means bikri mein giravat aayi hai.
