◇Word family
AaSpelling
dusk·y
From dusk (the time just before dark) with -y (not 'duskey'); comparative duskier.
dusk (अँधेरा होने से ठीक पहले का समय) में -y जोड़कर ('duskey' गलत है); comparative duskier।
?Which word?
Keep the evening words together: dusk (just before dark), twilight (the half-light at dusk or dawn), nightfall, gloaming (poetic).
शाम के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: dusk (अँधेरे से ठीक पहले), twilight (संध्या या भोर की अधूरी रोशनी), nightfall, gloaming (काव्यात्मक)।
§Grammar and usage
Note: 'dusky' for a dark complexion is old-fashioned and may offend; use 'dark' or 'dark-skinned' instead.
ध्यान रखिए: साँवले रंग के लिए 'dusky' पुराना है और बुरा लग सकता है; 'dark' या 'dark-skinned' कहिए।
