आमंत्रण

Learned borrowing from Sanskrit आमन्त्रण (āmantraṇa).

• (Delhi) IPA^(key): /ɑː.mən.t̪ɾəɳ/,

आमंत्रण • (āmantraṇ) m

1. invitation (to a formal event)

   Synonyms: निमंत्रण (nimantraṇ), न्योता (nyotā)

While आमंत्रण (āmantraṇ) and निमंत्रण (nimantraṇ) both roughly correspond to "invitation", they do not denote the same kind of event. An आमंत्रण (āmantraṇ) is more formal (e.g. a talk or meeting), has fixed reasons for being sent, and usually does not involve a shared meal with the guests. However, the two words are often confused and निमंत्रण (nimantraṇ) tends to have the broader meaning.
