1
announce something formally or publicly
to say something in an official and public way, such as a new law, holiday, or decision
استعمال کا انداز:
to proclaim [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "proclaim" for casual news (e.g., *"He proclaimed he was hungry"*), where native speakers would simply say "said" or "announced". "Proclaim" is usually used for serious, official, or very important statements, especially by authorities or governments.
ہم معنی الفاظ
declare (Very close in meaning; slightly more common and neutral in both official and everyday use.)
|
announce (Less formal and less strong; used for any kind of news, not only official decisions.)

2
state a belief or feeling loudly
to say something very strongly and in public, especially about what you feel, believe, or say is true
استعمال کا انداز:
to proclaim [something]; to proclaim [one's] [belief/innocence/love]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "proclaim" where simple verbs like "say" or "tell" are better. "Proclaim" sounds strong, formal, and often public, so it can seem too dramatic in normal conversation. Also, do not say *"proclaim about"*; you proclaim something (e.g., "He proclaimed his innocence"), without "about".
ہم معنی الفاظ
declare (Very close meaning; slightly more common and can be a little less emotional than "proclaim".)
|
assert (Focuses more on stating something confidently, often in argument, and can sound less public or dramatic than "proclaim".)
متضاد الفاظ
deny (Instead of openly and strongly saying something is true, you say it is not true.)

C1

3
show or indicate something clearly
to clearly show a fact or feeling, so that other people can see or guess it
استعمال کا انداز:
[something] proclaims [something]
عام غلطی:
This sense is quite literary, so learners may overuse it in simple descriptions where "show" or "reveal" are more natural. Also, remember that the subject is usually the thing that gives the sign (e.g., "His face proclaimed his joy"), not the person who has the feeling.
ہم معنی الفاظ
reveal (General and more common; does not carry the slightly formal or dramatic tone of "proclaim".)
متضاد الفاظ
conceal (Means to hide or prevent something from being seen, the opposite of clearly showing it.)
