peer agreement (net): +4please see explanation below Explanation: You have asked a difficult one indeed. I too have struggled on several occasions for an appropriate equivalent for "reaction" in Hindi. Dictionaries mention only "pratikriya", and I have found this to be inadequate for my purpose. But then there really doesn't seem to be any alternative. If your context is Chemistry, then the word "abhikriya" is there, but I assume that is not the word you want. There is "anukriya" but that is more appropriate for "follow-up". It would be better to work around the word, if you don't want to use pratikriya. Some examples: He reacted rather sharply to the comment. Yah tippani sunkar vah aag baboola ho gaya. The drug produced a very mild reaction in him. Dawai ka us par halka sa hi prabhav dekhne me aaya. His role in the whole affair was rather reactionary. Is saare mamle mein uski bhoomika kaafi roodivaadi rahi. Etc. |
