Meaning
अंग्रेज़ी में जब हम किसी से कुछ नया जानने के लिए पूछते हैं, तो हम कहते हैं 「Have you heard」। इसका हिंदी में अर्थ होता है "क्या आपने सुना है"। यह वाक्यांश अक्सर तब उपयोग किया जाता है जब हम किसी नई जानकारी, समाचार या अफवाह के बारे में किसी से बात करना चाहते हैं।
उदाहरण के लिए: अगर आपके दोस्त ने आपको बताया कि किसी प्रसिद्ध व्यक्ति ने शादी की है, और आप इस जानकारी को किसी और के साथ साझा करना चाहते हैं, तो आप पूछ सकते हैं, 「Have you heard about the celebrity's wedding?」 यानी "क्या आपने उस सेलिब्रिटी की शादी के बारे में सुना है?"
इस तरह, 「Have you heard」 का उपयोग बातचीत को शुरू करने या किसी विशेष विषय पर चर्चा करने के लिए किया जाता है। यह वाक्यांश औपचारिक और अनौपचारिक दोनों प्रकार की स्थितियों में प्रयोग किया जा सकता है।
