वापर नमुना:
to say [something] plainly
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes confuse 'plainly' with 'simply' in all contexts; 'plainly' usually refers to clarity or honesty rather than ease or lack of complexity.
समानार्थी शब्द
clearly (Very close in meaning, but 'clearly' can also refer to physical visibility or logical structure, not just directness of speech.)
|
directly (Similar in meaning, but can also imply physical direction or immediacy.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
vaguely (Means in an unclear or imprecise way, the opposite of speaking plainly.)

Without decoration or adornment

simply (Can mean without decoration, but also means 'merely' or 'only' in other contexts.)
