§Grammar and usage
Usage: handsomely most often means 'with a lot of money', as in 'paid handsomely' or 'rewarded handsomely', and not 'in a good-looking way'.
Usage में handsomely का अर्थ अधिकतर 'भरपूर पैसे के साथ' होता है, जैसे 'paid handsomely' या 'rewarded handsomely', न कि 'सुंदर दिखने वाले ढंग से'।
