Overjoyed

/ˌəʊvəˈdʒɔɪd/

अत्यंत प्रसन्न; आनंदित; (क्रिया, विरल) अत्यधिक आनंदित करना

Origin & History

From over- (“excessively”) + joy + -ed; based on the verb overjoy (“to delight greatly”), recorded in English from the early modern period.

over- (अत्यधिक) + joy (खुशी/आनंद) + -ed से बना; यह overjoy (बहुत आनंदित करना) क्रिया से विकसित है, जिसका प्रयोग अंग्रेज़ी में प्रारम्भिक आधुनिक काल से मिलता है।

Definition

Overjoyed describes a very strong feeling of happiness or delight, often caused by good news, success, or a pleasant surprise. It is commonly used as an adjective ("I was overjoyed"), and less commonly as a verb meaning "to make someone very happy."

Overjoyed का अर्थ है अत्यंत खुशी या उल्लास की तीव्र भावना, जो अक्सर अच्छी खबर, सफलता या सुखद आश्चर्य से होती है। यह अधिकतर विशेषण के रूप में प्रयोग होता है ("मैं overjoyed था/थी"), और कम प्रचलित रूप से क्रिया के रूप में भी (किसी को बहुत खुश कर देना)।
