Ostentatious में ‘tension’ सुनिए — दूसरों को impress करने की tension। ऐसे व्यक्ति की हर चीज़ महँगी और दिखावटी होनी चाहिए — वही ostentatious। इसका उल्टा modest।

Hear 'tension' in osten-TATIOUS: an ostentatious person lives with the tension of impressing others, so everything he buys must be costly and showy. Its opposite is modest.
