What It Means

प्राथमिकता के आधार पर कार्य करना is about order. It means you aren't just working randomly. You have a plan. You know what is urgent. You know what can wait. It is a sophisticated way to say 'First things first.'

How To Use It

Use it when you want to sound organized. You can use it for yourself. You can use it for your team. Simply place the phrase after the subject. For example: मैं प्राथमिकता के आधार पर कार्य कर रहा हूँ. It sounds professional and clear. It shows you are in control of your time.

When To Use It

This is perfect for office meetings. Use it when your boss gives you ten tasks. It works well in academic settings too. Even at home, use it for big events. Planning a wedding? You must work on a priority basis. It helps manage expectations. It tells people you are busy with important things.

When NOT To Use It

Don't use this for tiny, silly things. Don't say it while eating a samosa. 'I am eating this chutney on a priority basis' sounds weird. It is too heavy for very casual fun. Avoid it in high-emotion romantic moments. It sounds a bit like a corporate robot there. Keep it for tasks and responsibilities.

Cultural Background

Modern India is very fast-paced. In big cities like Mumbai or Bangalore, time is money. This phrase became popular with the rise of corporate culture. It reflects a shift from 'relaxed' work to 'efficient' work. It shows the influence of English business terms on Hindi. It is a mark of a modern, educated speaker.

Common Variations

Sometimes people shorten it. They might say काम को प्राथमिकता देना. This means 'to give priority to work.' Another version is ज़रूरी काम पहले करना. That is the more 'street' or 'home' version. But the full phrase is the gold standard for professionalism.

사용 참고사항

This is a high-register, formal collocation. It is most appropriate for professional environments, formal writing, or when you want to emphasize your organizational skills.

Hinglish Shortcut

In casual urban Hindi, most people just say 'Priority par rakho' (Keep it on priority). It's the faster, younger sibling of our main phrase.
