Highs

/haɪz/

उच्च क्षण; अच्छे दौर; शिखर/चोटी के अनुभव (बहुवचन)

Origin & History

From Old English hēah (“high”), with plural formation in Modern English as “highs”; figurative sense of “high point/peak experience” developed later.

यह शब्द Old English ‘hēah’ (“ऊँचा/उच्च”) से आया है; Modern English में इसका बहुवचन “highs” बना। “उच्च बिंदु/चरम अनुभव” जैसे रूपक अर्थ बाद में विकसित हुए।

Definition

“Highs” is the plural of “high” and commonly refers to the best or most positive moments (the high points), such as feelings of happiness/excitement or times of success; it is often contrasted with “lows.”

“Highs” शब्द “high” का बहुवचन है और सामान्यतः जीवन के सबसे अच्छे/सकारात्मक क्षणों (उच्च बिंदुओं) के लिए प्रयोग होता है, जैसे खुशी/उत्साह की भावना या सफलता के समय; इसे अक्सर “lows” (निम्न/बुरे समय) के विपरीत रखा जाता है।
