अगस्त
agast/ə.ɡəst̪/
The English phrase 'August' is translated into Hindi as अगस्त (agast).
Did you know?
- The Hindi अगस्त shares a distant ancestry with the English 'august', both tracing back to the same Proto-Indo-European roots through Latin and Portuguese.
- Hindi speakers often use the Gregorian month अगस्त alongside a traditional lunar calendar, where the month falls during the transition between श्रावण (Shravana) and भाद्रपद (Bhadrapada).
- In an English-speaking context, 'august' can also mean 'respected' or 'impressive', but in Hindi, अगस्त serves almost exclusively as the name of the month.
