§Grammar and usage

Usage: get the gist of something means to understand its main idea, a skill that reading comprehension questions often test.

Usage में get the gist of something का अर्थ किसी चीज़ का मुख्य भाव समझना है, और reading comprehension के प्रश्न अक्सर इसी कौशल को परखते हैं।

Gist begins with a j sound, like jist, not with a hard g.

Gist की शुरुआत j की ध्वनि से होती है, जैसे jist, कठोर g से नहीं।
