Usage notes

[edit]

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.
