small amount of liquid present
A small amount of water in or on something that makes it a bit wet.
వాడుక నమూనా:
moisture in [something]
సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners sometimes treat "moisture" as a countable noun and say *"a moisture"* or *"many moistures"*. It is almost always uncountable, so say "some moisture" or "a lot of moisture". Learners may also confuse it with "humidity", which is used mainly for moisture in the air, not in objects or materials.
పర్యాయపదాలు

moisture in the air

పర్యాయపదాలు
humidity (More common in weather reports and scientific or technical contexts about how much water vapor is in the air.)
విరుద్ధపదాలు
dry air (Describes air that has very little water vapor in it.)

The natural water on your skin, eyes, or hair that keeps them from becoming dry.
వాడుక నమూనా:

పర్యాయపదాలు

విరుద్ధపదాలు
