natijah

Natijah is the transliteration of the Arabic word النتيجة, meaning result, outcome, or consequence. It refers to what is arrived at after a process, inquiry, calculation, or event. In Urdu and Hindi, a closely related form such as natija or natije (نتيجة) carries the same meaning. The term is commonly used in scientific reports, legal documents, journalism, and everyday speech to present the conclusion of an experiment, the outcome of a decision, or the end result of a situation.

Etymology and form: Natijah derives from the Arabic root ن-ت-ج (n-t-j), tied to the idea of achieving or arriving at an end. The standard Arabic noun النتيجة is feminine, and its plural is نتائج (natāʾij). The word is used across Modern Standard Arabic and many dialects, with spelling and pronunciation variations in other languages that borrow from Arabic.

Usage and contexts: In formal writing and discourse, natijah introduces or summarizes conclusions, findings, or outcomes. It appears in academic papers to report results, in news to present outcomes of events, and in everyday speech to describe the end result of a process. In Urdu and Hindi media and education, natija/natije serves a similar function in reporting conclusions and consequences.

Translations and equivalents: The closest English equivalents are result, outcome, consequence, and conclusion. Depending on context, natijah can emphasize the end state reached after analysis, an inferred consequence, or the factual outcome of an action or study.
