Surreal

/səˈriːəl/

अतियथार्थ; स्वप्न-जैसा; अजीब/अवास्तविक

Origin & History

From French surréel (“beyond the real”), from sur- (“over/beyond”) + réel (“real”); popularized in the early 20th century by Surrealism in art and literature.

फ़्रेंच surréel (अर्थ: “वास्तविक से परे”) से; sur- (“ऊपर/परे”) + réel (“वास्तविक”)। 20वीं सदी की शुरुआत में कला और साहित्य के ‘Surrealism’ (अतियथार्थवाद) आंदोलन के कारण यह शब्द व्यापक रूप से प्रचलित हुआ।

Definition

Surreal describes something that feels unreal or dreamlike, often strangely vivid or illogical, as if it belongs to a different reality rather than ordinary everyday life.

Surreal का अर्थ है ऐसा अनुभव/दृश्य जो अवास्तविक या स्वप्न-जैसा लगे—अक्सर बहुत अजीब, तीव्र या तर्कहीन—मानो वह सामान्य जीवन के बजाय किसी दूसरी ही वास्तविकता का हिस्सा हो।
