सबूत पेश करना

You use this phrase like a standard verb. If you are doing the presenting, you say saboot pesh kar raha hoon. If you want someone else to prove it, you ask saboot pesh karo. It is a very flexible collocation. You can use it for serious legal matters. You can also use it for silly arguments at home. It fits perfectly whenever facts need to do the talking.

Use this in a professional meeting to support your data. Use it in a debate when you have the winning fact. It is great for texting when a friend makes a bold claim. You can say, 'Okay, show me the proof!' or theek hai, saboot pesh karo!. It is also the standard term used in news reports and police dramas. If you are watching a Bollywood thriller, you will hear this a lot.

Do not use this for purely emotional or subjective things. If you tell someone you love them, do not ask them to saboot pesh karna. That sounds cold and robotic. Avoid it in very casual slang-heavy conversations where dikha na (show me) works better. It can sound a bit 'lawyer-y' if used in a romantic setting. Keep it for situations where logic and facts actually matter.

The word pesh comes from Persian roots. It was used in the royal courts of the Mughals. It carries a sense of formality and respect. Even today, it makes the speaker sound authoritative. In Indian culture, legal jargon often leaks into daily life because of popular cinema. Everyone knows this phrase because of the iconic 'courtroom' scenes in movies. It feels dramatic yet grounded in reality.

You might hear saboot dena, which is more casual. It just means 'to give proof'. Another formal version is pramaan prastut karna. That one is very Sanskrit-heavy and used in textbooks. Saboot pesh karna sits right in the middle. It is the most natural way to sound smart without sounding like a dictionary. Use it to sound confident and prepared.
