  1. क्या आप जानते हैं कि Dear ka matlab kya hota hai ? ये एक सामान्य शब्द है जो हम हर दिन इस्तेमाल करते हैं, लेकिन क्या हमने कभी सोचा है कि इसका वास्तविक अर्थ क्या है? "Dear" का मतलब है "Dear" या "कीमती"। क्या शब्द का उपयोग हम औपचारिक या अनौपचारिक स्थितियों में करते हैं, जैसे कि ईमेल या पत्र लिखते वक्त।
