Origin & History

From Latin considerare (“to observe, to examine, to think about”), via French considérer; the adjective considerate developed in English to mean “thoughtful of others.”

लैटिन considerare (“देखना/जांचना/विचार करना”) से, फ्रेंच considérer के माध्यम से; अंग्रेज़ी में adjective considerate का अर्थ विकसित होकर “दूसरों का ख़याल रखने वाला/विचारशील” हो गया।

Definition

Considerate describes someone who notices how their actions may affect others and therefore behaves in a polite, kind, and mindful way (e.g., keeping noise low, offering help, respecting people’s time).

Considerate उस व्यक्ति का वर्णन करता है जो समझता है कि उसके कार्य दूसरों पर क्या प्रभाव डाल सकते हैं और इसलिए विनम्र, दयालु तथा ध्यान रखने वाला व्यवहार करता है (जैसे शोर कम रखना, मदद की पेशकश करना, लोगों के समय का सम्मान करना)।
