1

self-important and arrogant

Acting like you are very important or better than other people, in a way that others do not like.

استعمال کا انداز: a pompous [person]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'pompous' with 'popular' because they look similar. 'Pompous' is negative and means acting too important, while 'popular' is usually positive and means liked by many people. Learners also sometimes think 'pompous' means simply 'formal', but it always carries a strong negative, mocking tone.
