Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Melancholy में 'मिला ना कोई' सुनिए। जब जीवन में कोई न मिले, तो मन में गहरी उदासी बैठ जाती है। 'मिला ना कोई — melancholy।'

Hear 'mila na koi' (found no one) in MELANCHOLY. When a person finds no one in life, a deep, quiet sadness settles in. Remember the line: 'Mila na koi — melancholy.'

Exam note

Synonym में sadness, gloom, sorrow, despondency, doldrums आते हैं; उल्टे में cheerfulness और joy। Spelling में 'melankoly' जैसी ग़लती होती है, अंत '-choly' याद रखिए।

Sadness, gloom, sorrow, despondency and the doldrums come as synonyms; cheerfulness, joy and jovial are the opposites. Students often misspell it as 'melankoly', so remember the '-choly' ending.
