sudden, striking new information
A sudden and surprising new fact or understanding that you did not know before.
استعمال کا انداز:
a revelation about [something]; the revelation that [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "revelation" with "revolution" because they look similar. "Revelation" is about new information or understanding, while "revolution" is about a big change, often in politics. Learners also sometimes think "revelation" must be religious, but in modern English it is very common in everyday, non‑religious contexts.
ہم معنی الفاظ
insight (Often suggests deep understanding, not always suddenly discovered or surprising.)
متضاد الفاظ
secret (A fact that is deliberately kept unknown, instead of suddenly made known.)

message from a god to humans
In religion, a message or truth that people believe comes directly from God or another god.
استعمال کا انداز:
a revelation from [God]; receive a revelation
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use this religious sense when they only mean a normal, everyday discovery. For normal discoveries or surprising facts, use the general sense of "revelation" or words like "discovery" or "realization."
ہم معنی الفاظ
divine message (More clearly religious and personal; does not always carry the idea of revealing hidden truth on a large scale.)
متضاد الفاظ
concealment (Refers to keeping something hidden, instead of making divine truth known.)

person or thing surprisingly excellent
A person or thing that surprises you by being much better than you expected.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone]/[something] is a revelation
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think this use is always negative because it is ‘surprising’. In this sense, "a revelation" is strongly positive and means "much better than expected." For negative surprise, use words like "shock" or "disappointment," not "revelation."
ہم معنی الفاظ
eye-opener (More informal and focused on the surprise; does not always imply strong pleasure or admiration.)
متضاد الفاظ
disappointment (Describes something that is worse than expected, instead of better than expected.)

act of revealing hidden information
The act of showing or telling something that was secret or not known before.
استعمال کا انداز:
the revelation of [information]
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
disclosure (Very close in meaning; often used in legal or official contexts where "revelation" may sound slightly more dramatic.)
متضاد الفاظ
