sounding sad and mournful

Sounding or looking quietly sad, like a soft, sad cry or voice.

वापर नमुना: a plaintive [noun]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes confuse "plaintive" with "plain" (simple, not decorated) or with the legal word "plaintiff." "Plaintive" is mainly used for sounds, voices, music, or looks that seem quietly sad, not for things that are simple or for legal people.
समानार्थी शब्द
mournful (Stronger and more clearly about grief or sorrow; slightly less gentle than "plaintive.") | wistful (Suggests a sad, dreamy feeling about something you miss or want; less about sound itself.) | sad (More general and very common; lacks the soft, thin, crying quality implied by "plaintive.")
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
cheerful (Describes a bright, happy sound or expression, opposite of the soft sadness in "plaintive.") | joyful (Emphasizes strong happiness, especially in voice or music, contrasting with quiet sorrow.)
