connote and denote

Denote means to mean literally: 'Red denotes the colour of blood.' Connote means to suggest something extra: 'Red connotes danger or love.' A word's denotation is its dictionary meaning; its connotations are the feelings and ideas it brings to mind. 'Slim' and 'skinny' denote the same thing but connote different feelings.

Denote का अर्थ 'शाब्दिक रूप से अर्थ होना' है: 'Red denotes the colour of blood'। Connote का अर्थ 'कुछ अतिरिक्त संकेत करना' है: 'Red connotes danger or love'। शब्द का denotation उसका शब्दकोशीय अर्थ है; उसके connotations वे भाव और विचार जो वह मन में लाए। 'Slim' और 'skinny' का denotation एक है पर connotations अलग।
