मत
Hindi
Pronunciation
- (Delhi Hindi) IPA(key): /mət̪/, [mɐt̪]
Etymology 1
Inherited from Sauraseni Prakrit [Term?] (compare Maharastri Prakrit 𑀫𑀁𑀢 (maṃta)), an extension of Sanskrit मा (mā), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *mā, from Proto-Indo-European *meh₁. Cognate to Punjabi ਮਤ (mat).
Particle
मत • (mat) (Urdu spelling مت)
- not, do not; prohibitive particle
- यहां धूम्रपान मत कीजिए। ― yahā̃ dhūmrapān mat kījie. ― Do not smoke here.
- मत बैठो! ― mat baiṭho! ― Don't sit!
Usage notes
मत (mat) is the imperative negation and it is only used with verbs which are in the imperative mood.
Compare the subjunctive negations न (na) and ना (nā) which are only used with verbs in subjunctive mood and the indicative negation नहीं (nahī̃) which is used with verbs in indicative mood.
Etymology 2
Borrowed from Sanskrit मत (mata), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *matás, from Proto-Indo-European *mn̥-tós.
