वापर नमुना: a mere [number/amount/noun]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes confuse 'mere' with 'mere' as in 'lake' from older English; also may overuse it in casual speech where 'just' or 'only' would sound more natural.
समानार्थी शब्द
only (More general and common; can be used in more contexts without the connotation of smallness or insignificance.) | just (Informal and very common; similar meaning but less formal than 'mere'.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
significant (Highlights that something has importance or value, opposite of 'mere' in this sense.)
