§Structures (grammar patterns) 4

chartered + professional noun

Chartered is placed before the name of a profession to show that the person has qualified through a recognised professional body.

पेशे के नाम से पहले 'chartered' लगाने से पता चलता है कि व्यक्ति ने किसी मान्यता प्राप्त पेशेवर संस्था से योग्यता प्राप्त की है।

  • Radhika's father is a chartered accountant in Jaipur.
  • A chartered engineer must renew his membership every year.

chartered + vehicle (bus, flight, boat)

Used before a vehicle, chartered means hired for a special trip by a group, not running on a fixed timetable.

वाहन से पहले 'chartered' का अर्थ है किसी समूह द्वारा विशेष यात्रा के लिए किराये पर लिया गया, जो निश्चित समय-सारणी पर नहीं चलता।

  • The school took the children to Agra in a chartered bus.
  • A chartered flight brought the stranded pilgrims home.

chartered (adjective) vs charter (verb)

Charter is the verb meaning to hire a vehicle; chartered is the adjective formed from its past participle, so both do not mix in one phrase.

'Charter' क्रिया है जिसका अर्थ किराये पर लेना है; 'chartered' उसके past participle से बना adjective है।

  • The company chartered a boat for the staff outing.
  • They travelled on a chartered boat.

the chartered + abbreviation

In writing, the abbreviation CA stands for chartered accountant, and the adjective is not repeated before it.

लिखने में CA का पूरा रूप chartered accountant है, इसलिए संक्षिप्त रूप के साथ 'chartered' दोबारा नहीं लिखा जाता।

  • She qualified as a CA after three years of articleship.
