ग़ौर से (ghaur se)
adverb
An adverbial phrase meaning 'carefully, attentively' -- built from the noun ग़ौर (ghaur, 'attention/consideration', from Arabic-Persian) plus से (se). Almost always heard with verbs of looking, listening, or thinking.
Sense
1
:
carefully, attentively (with focused attention)
adverb Commonly pairs with देखना (dekhnaa), सुनना (sunnaa), पढ़ना (padhnaa), and सोचना (sochnaa) -- functions as a manner adverb modifying how the action is performed.
Synonyms: ध्यान से (dhyaan se), बारीकी से (baariikii se, with fine detail)
Frequency: medium
Cultural Note: You will often hear this in classrooms and offices when someone wants you to really scrutinize something: ग़ौर से देखो (ghaur se dekho, 'look carefully') is a common teacher's or elder's instruction, carrying a slightly more serious, focused tone than the everyday ध्यान से (dhyaan se).
Common Mistakes: 1) Learners sometimes drop से (se) and just say ग़ौर (ghaur) alone as if it were the adverb; the से (se) is required to turn the noun into this adverbial phrase. 2) Confusing with ध्यान से (dhyaan se): ग़ौर से (ghaur se) leans toward careful scrutiny or examination, while ध्यान से (dhyaan se) is the more general everyday word for 'carefully/attentively' -- native speakers often reach for ध्यान से (dhyaan se) first and use ग़ौर से (ghaur se) when something needs closer inspection.
