very fortunate; lucky

Very lucky and happy because of something good in your life.

استعمال کا انداز: be blest with [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "blest" in modern everyday writing instead of "blessed". In most current English, "blessed" is the normal form; "blest" sounds old-fashioned or poetic. Also, do not use "blest" as the past tense of "bless"; the correct form is "blessed" (e.g., "The priest blessed the child").

blessed (The normal modern spelling; used in both religious and everyday contexts.) | fortunate (Focuses on luck rather than any religious idea of being favored by God.)

holy; made sacred

Holy or very special to God.

استعمال کا انداز: the blest [person/thing]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse this religious sense with the more general "fortunate" sense. When the word is used with clearly religious nouns like "saints", "Virgin", or "sacrament", it usually means "holy" rather than simply "lucky".
ہم معنی الفاظ
holy (The most common modern word for something religiously pure or sacred.) | sacred (Emphasizes being set apart for religious use or deep respect.)
متضاد الفاظ
profane (Describes things that are not holy and may even show a lack of respect for religious ideas.)

3

exclamation of surprise/annoyance

A mild exclamation to show surprise or anger, often said as "I'll be blest".

استعمال کا انداز: "I'll be blest" (if [clause])
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this expression is common today. In modern English it sounds very old-fashioned; it is better to say things like "I'm surprised" or "I can't believe it" in everyday speech.
ہم معنی الفاظ
I'll be damned (Stronger and more offensive; "I'll be blest" is a softer, old-fashioned version.)
