Improve your Vocabulary
Suppose you apply for a job, or you have to give any presentation or speech, in such cases your vocabulary will determine whether or not you’re successful. Just imagine you have a billion dollar idea, but you are not able to convince your investors because of your poor vocabulary. To avoid such situations you must have a good knowledge of high frequency English words. Good Vocabulary also helps you to better understand information that you are reading or listening, thereby increases your retention. Now a days, good Vocabulary is indispensable for competitive examinations like CAT, GRE, GMAT, XAT etc. In this thread, everyday I will discuss some of the high frequency words that are asked in competitive exams. |

Re: Improve your Vocabulary
Do you know the meaning of word
Bacchanalian Adjective: Characterized by or given to drunken revelry; riotously drunken. This word originated from a greek word called Bacchanalia. The bacchanalia were wild and mystic festivals of the Greek and Roman god Bacchus (or Dionysus). The word has since come to describe any form of drunken revelry. In short, you can use Bacchanalian to describe a person consuming alcohol. Now how to remember its meaning, it's very simple, just imagine Amitabh Bachchan drinking in Sharabi Movie. |

Re: Improve your Vocabulary
Nice Thread to start bro.
I really appreciate you for this idea. My contribution is a phrase 'Achilles heel'. It refers to someone's deadly weakness. The story behind this phrase is moreover like Duryodhan's story in Mahabharat, i hope that will make its reason understandable. -Amit |

Re: Improve your Vocabulary
मेरी अपनी समझ के अनुसार यह ऐसी अवस्था को दर्शाता है जिसमें मनुष्य यह ना तय कर पाए की उसे क्या करना है | इस अवस्था को हम हक्का बक्का या घबराया हुआ भी कह सकते हैं |
अंग्रेजी में इसे bewildered कह सकते हैं | अमित |

Re: Improve your Vocabulary
अमित जी,
आप 99% तक सही हैं लेकिन मेरे द्वारा लिखे शब्द का दायरा आप द्वारा लिखे मतलब से थोड़ा ज्यादा बड़ा है ! कोई व्यक्ति घबराए बिना भी किम्कर्तव्यविमूढ़ हो सकता है confused what to do (and what not to do) Last edited by madhavi; 12-12-2010 at 06:31 PM. |

एक शब्द के विषय में मुझे भी जिज्ञासा है | अंग्रेजी के शब्द margin(margin of the paper) जिसे हम उर्दू में हाशिया कहते हैं, को हिंदी में क्या कहते हैं ? मैं इसका अर्थ काफी जगह खोज चूका हूँ किन्तु उत्तर नहीं मिला | इस प्रश्न को यदि थोडा सा स्पष्ट करें तो उत्तर के बारे में कुछ कहा जाये | |

Re: Improve your Vocabulary
Great thread!
BTW, can we ask meaning to any word, or is it supposed to be only a phrase?
