Single-storey

/ˌsɪŋ.ɡəl ˈstɔː.ri/

एक-मंज़िला

Origin & History

From English single (“one, only”) + storey (“a floor/level of a building”), with the hyphenated compound adjective form becoming standard in British spelling (storey).

अंग्रेज़ी single (“एक/केवल”) + storey (“भवन की मंज़िल/स्तर”) से बना यौगिक (हाइफ़न सहित) विशेषण; ब्रिटिश वर्तनी में storey प्रचलित है।

Definition

Describing a building that has just one level above the ground, with all main rooms on the same floor (often used for bungalows, small houses, clinics, or shops).

ऐसे भवन का वर्णन जो केवल एक ही मंज़िल/स्तर का हो, जिसमें मुख्य कमरे एक ही तल पर हों (अक्सर बंगला, छोटा घर, क्लिनिक या दुकान के लिए प्रयुक्त)।
