small sign of a feeling or quality

A very small sign of a feeling or quality, like hope, interest, or energy.

பயன்பாட்டு முறை: a spark of [emotion/quality]
பொதுவான தவறு:
Learners sometimes confuse this sense with the physical fire meaning and say things like *a fire spark of hope*. Here, spark is already metaphorical, so it is enough to say *a spark of hope* or *a glimmer of hope*.
இணைச்சொற்கள்
glimmer (Often sounds slightly more poetic or literary, but similarly suggests a small, faint amount.) | trace (More neutral and scientific-sounding; does not carry the same feeling of energy or potential.)
எதிர்ச்சொற்கள்
apathy (Describes a complete lack of interest or emotion, the opposite of having even a small spark of feeling.)
