Pati (Hindustani: पति, پتی) is a title meaning "master" or "lord" in various Indo-Iranian languages, including Sanskrit, Hindustani, Old Persian language and Avestan. The feminine equivalent in Indo-Aryan languages is ''patni'' (literally, "mistress" or "lady"). The term ''pati'' is frequently used as a suffix, e.g. ''lakhpati'' (meaning, master of a lakh rupees). In modern-day Hindustani and other Indian, Nepalese and Bangladeshi languages, ''pati'' and ''patni'' have taken on the meanings of ''husband'' and ''wife'' respectively when used as standalone words.〔 Pati is also a surname of the Oriya Brahmin community. A person of the state of Odisha, India with the surname Pati is likely to be a Brahmin, and similarly for the names Padhi, Senapati, Pani, Panigrahi, among others. ==Modern usage== *As a standalone term indicating husband, ''pati'' *In an official title, e.g. ''rashtra-pati'' (national president), ''sena-pati'' (general, master of an army/sena) *In adjectives, e.g. ''kror-pati'' (करोड़पति, کروڑپتی, rich, master of a crore rupees) *As a descriptive term, e.g. ''dampati'' (married couple, master and mistress of the house) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pati (title)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
