Which of the following is the antonym of 'Yathesht' (sufficient/ample)?
Appeared in: NVS Staff Nurse - 2022
Explanation
- The Hindi word 'Yathesht' (यथेष्ट) means sufficient, ample, or as much as desired.
- The question asks for its antonym, which would mean insufficient, scanty, or not enough.
- The word 'Less' is the English equivalent of Hindi words like 'Kam' (कम) or 'Alp' (अल्प), which are direct antonyms of 'Yathesht'.
Why Other Options Were Wrong
- Option A: 'Nisht' is not a standard Hindi word or a recognized antonym for 'Yathesht'.
- Option B: 'Anisht' (अनिष्ट) means unfavorable or ominous.
- Option D: 'Isht' (इष्ट) means desired or favorable. 'Yathesht' is a compound word (Yatha + Isht), meaning 'as per desire' or sufficient.

Clinical Relevance
- Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Antonyms in Hindi Language as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
- Understanding vocabulary, including antonyms, is a fundamental skill for language proficiency and communication, which is assessed in general aptitude sections of nursing exams.
- This skill helps in accurately interpreting written instructions, patient communication, and documentation.
- What if the question asked for a synonym? In that case, words like 'Paryapt' (पर्याप्त), 'Ample', or 'Sufficient' would be correct.
How to Approach the Question
- First, understand the meaning of the given word, 'Yathesht'. It means 'sufficient' or 'ample'.
- Next, analyze the meaning of each option to find the one that means the opposite of 'sufficient'.
- Evaluate 'Anisht' (unfavorable) and 'Isht' (favorable); they are antonyms of each other but not of 'Yathesht'.
- Recognize that 'Less' means 'insufficient' or 'not enough', which is the direct opposite of 'Yathesht'.
- Therefore, select 'Less' as the correct antonym.
