Etymology 1

[edit]

Inherited from Prakrit 𑀫𑀁𑀢 (maṃta)), an extension of Ashokan Prakrit 𑀫𑀸 (mā), from Sanskrit मा (mā́), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *máH, from Proto-Indo-European *méh₁. Cognate to Gujarati મત (mat), Punjabi ਮਤ (mat).

Particle

[edit]

मत • (mat) (Urdu spelling مت)

  1. 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
[edit]

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.
