Usage
Native speakers commonly use 'सहित' in both spoken and written Nepali when listing items or including additional information in a sentence. For example, during discussions about travel plans, one might say, 'तपाईंले कति मानिसलाई, समेत मेरा साथीहरूलाई, निमन्त्रणा दिइनुहुन्छ?' (How many people will you invite, including my friends?). It’s also frequently utilized in formal communications, such as emails or reports.
Synonyms & nuances
'सहित' is similar to 'संग' which also means 'with' or 'along with.' However, 'सहित' subtly emphasizes the inclusion of items or people in a more formal or structured manner, making it the preferred choice in lists or formal statements. In contrast, 'संग' is often used in more casual contexts.
Culture
'सहित' has roots in the Sanskrit word 'सहित' which means 'together with.' The word reflects the communal nature of Nepali culture, where inclusion is valued in everyday conversation. Interestingly, it symbolizes the way Nepali people often emphasize relationships, whether in casual chat or formal gatherings, highlighting the importance of community.
FAQ

Q.Is 'सहित' used in both formal and informal settings?
Yes, 'सहित' is versatile and can be used in both formal and informal contexts. It's appropriate in everyday conversation as well as in professional writing.
