Meaning
अंग्रेजी में "How about" एक आमतौर पर इस्तेमाल होने वाला वाक्यांश है, जो सुझाव देने या किसी प्रस्ताव को प्रस्तुत करने के लिए प्रयोग किया जाता है। इसका उपयोग तब किया जाता है जब आप किसी को कोई विकल्प प्रदान करना चाहते हैं या उनकी राय जानना चाहते हैं।
उदाहरण के लिए, यदि आप किसी मित्र के साथ बाहर जाने का विचार कर रहे हैं, तो आप पूछ सकते हैं: «How about going to the park?» इसका मतलब है "पार्क जाने के बारे में क्या विचार है?" यहां, आप एक सुझाव दे रहे हैं और उनके विचार जानने का प्रयास कर रहे हैं।
"How about" का उपयोग अक्सर अनौपचारिक वार्तालापों में होता है और यह बातचीत को अधिक संवादात्मक और खुला बनाता है। यह वाक्यांश बातचीत को आगे बढ़ाने और अधिक विकल्प देने के लिए भी उपयोगी है।
