Soli = अकेला (solo) और loquy = बात (loquacious वाली)। अकेले, ख़ुद से की गई बातचीत = soliloquy, जैसे मंच पर कोई character अकेले अपने विचार बोलता है।
SOLI is solo (alone) and LOQUY is talking, as in loquacious. Talking alone, to oneself, is a soliloquy — like a character on stage speaking his thoughts aloud with no one else there.
Soliloquy = अकेले ख़ुद से बोलना, monologue = लंबा भाषण जिसे दूसरे सुनें, dialogue = दो के बीच बातचीत — तीनों साथ आते हैं।
A soliloquy is spoken alone to oneself, a monologue is a long speech heard by others, and a dialogue is a conversation between two; all three are offered together.
