“meaning” in English
Literally: “meaning.”
Used as everyday filler for “I mean…,” “like…,” or “basically.” “मतलब, मुझे पता नहीं” — “I mean, I don’t know.” On its own, “मतलब?” is “meaning? / so what are you saying?” And “इसका मतलब है…” sets up a definition — “this means…”. One word doing the work of a dozen English hedges.
