spinning quickly in circles
Moving or turning very fast in a circle.
వాడుక నమూనా:
a whirling [object]
సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners sometimes use "whirling" for straight, fast movement (e.g., *a whirling car on the highway*). "Whirling" should describe circular or spinning movement; for fast, straight movement, words like "racing" or "speeding" are better.
