?Which word?
Keep the strong-desire words together: yearn (want very much, often sadly), long for, pine for (want something you cannot have, becoming sad), crave (want very strongly, often food), hanker after, covet (want what belongs to others).
तीव्र इच्छा के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: yearn (बहुत चाहना, प्रायः उदासी से), long for, pine for (जो न मिल सके उसकी चाह में उदास होना), crave (बहुत तीव्रता से चाहना, प्रायः भोजन), hanker after, covet (दूसरों की चीज़ चाहना)।
§Grammar and usage
Yearn for sth or sb; yearn to do sth (not 'yearn about').
यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: 'yearn for sth' या 'sb'; 'yearn to do sth' ('yearn about' नहीं)।
The noun yearning ('a yearning for peace').
Word form: 'yearn' का noun 'yearning' है, जैसे 'a yearning for peace' (शांति की तीव्र चाहत)। इसके साथ preposition 'for' आता है।
