very fortunate; lucky

Very lucky and happy because of something good in your life.

الگوی کاربرد: be blest with [something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use "blest" in modern everyday writing instead of "blessed". In most current English, "blessed" is the normal form; "blest" sounds old-fashioned or poetic. Also, do not use "blest" as the past tense of "bless"; the correct form is "blessed" (e.g., "The priest blessed the child").

2

holy; made sacred

Holy or very special to God.

الگوی کاربرد: the blest [person/thing]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse this religious sense with the more general "fortunate" sense. When the word is used with clearly religious nouns like "saints", "Virgin", or "sacrament", it usually means "holy" rather than simply "lucky".
هم‌معنی‌ها
holy (The most common modern word for something religiously pure or sacred.) | sacred (Emphasizes being set apart for religious use or deep respect.)
متضادها
profane (Describes things that are not holy and may even show a lack of respect for religious ideas.)

exclamation of surprise/annoyance

A mild exclamation to show surprise or anger, often said as "I'll be blest".

الگوی کاربرد: "I'll be blest" (if [clause])
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may think this expression is common today. In modern English it sounds very old-fashioned; it is better to say things like "I'm surprised" or "I can't believe it" in everyday speech.
هم‌معنی‌ها
I'll be damned (Stronger and more offensive; "I'll be blest" is a softer, old-fashioned version.)
