§Structures (grammar patterns) 4
a brand-new + noun (attributive)
Brand-new goes before a noun and means completely new and never used. The hyphen is kept when it comes before the noun.
'Brand-new' संज्ञा से पहले आकर पूरी तरह नया और कभी इस्तेमाल न हुआ अर्थ देता है। संज्ञा से पहले आने पर hyphen लगाया जाता है।
- She wore a brand-new uniform on the first day of school.
- He bought a brand-new bicycle with his scholarship money.
be + brand new (predicative)
After a verb such as be, look or feel, it is often written as two words without a hyphen.
Be, look या feel जैसी क्रिया के बाद इसे प्रायः बिना hyphen के दो शब्दों में लिखा जाता है।
- The phone is brand new; I got it yesterday.
- The shoes looked brand new even after a year.
brand-new to + person (less common)
It can say something is completely new to someone, though 'completely new to me' is more common.

no comparative form
Brand-new is already an extreme meaning, so do not use more or very with it; use quite or almost instead.
Brand-new स्वयं चरम अर्थ वाला है, इसलिए इसके साथ more या very न लगाएँ; इसके स्थान पर quite या almost का प्रयोग करें।
- The car is almost brand new, with only 500 km on the meter.
