Hindi draws on two large vocabularies. Sanskrit-derived words (तत्सम) dominate formal writing, news and officialdom; Persian and Arabic borrowings dominate everyday speech, poetry and film.
| Meaning | Sanskritic | Perso-Arabic |
|---|---|---|
| thank you | धन्यवाद | शुक्रिया |
| question | प्रश्न | सवाल |
| answer | उत्तर | जवाब |
| time | समय | वक़्त |
| city | नगर | शहर |
| hope | आशा | उम्मीद |
Neither is more correct. In conversation the Perso-Arabic word is usually the more natural of the pair; in a written notice or a news bulletin the Sanskritic one is. Mixing them in one sentence is entirely ordinary.
A third layer is inherited rather than borrowed: words worn down from Sanskrit over centuries. काम from कर्म, दूध from दुग्ध, हाथ from हस्त. These are the oldest and commonest words in the language.
