False friends in Hindi present a sophisticated challenge at the C1 level, occurring both between Hindi and other languages and within Hindi itself. Intra-Hindi false friends arise from words sharing similar form but divergent meaning across registers: शुक्ल (bright / a surname) vs. शुक्र (Venus / gratitude), अवसाद (depression, clinical) vs. प्रसाद (blessing food), and नित्य (daily/eternal) vs. नीति (policy/ethics). Between Hindi and Urdu, pairs like इज़्ज़त (honour, Urdu) vs. the Sanskrit इज़्ज़त-free classical context create register clashes. Learners from European languages must watch for: actual (वास्तविक, not अक्चुअल), liberal (उदार, not लिबरल in political sense without context), and sympathetic (सहानुभूतिपूर्ण, not सहानुभूति alone). Mastery requires प्रसंगानुसार awareness.
