Hello! ऐकलंत का? Listen Here मध्ये तुमचं स्वागत, मी तेजाली आणि माझ्यासोबत आहे टॉम.

Tom
Hi, I'm Tom!

Phil
Hi, I'm Phil. Today we're talking about loneliness.

Tejali
आज बोलणार आहोत एकाकीपणा म्हणजे loneliness बद्दल. बीबीसीने अलिकडेच या विषयासंदर्भात एक सर्वेक्षण केलं. यामध्ये तब्बल 55000 लोकांनी सहभाग घेतला होता.

Phil
And they found that young people could feel more lonely than any other group of people!

Tejali
आजची क्लिप आहे बीबीसी रेडिओ 4 ची The Anatomy  of Loneliness मधली. या क्लिपमध्ये युनिव्हर्सिटीच्या प्राध्यापिका सर्वेक्षणातल्या गोष्टींबद्दल बोलत आहेत. त्यांच्या मते, तरुणांना दोन प्रकारे एकाकी वाटू शकते. काय बरं असतील त्या दोन गोष्टी? चला तर 'higher' नंतर काय म्हटलंय त्याकडे नीट लक्ष द्या.

Insert
Those younger people didn't just report a higrher frequency of loneliness but they also reported higher intensity of loneliness. And for me that kind of gives us a further clue about what might be going on over a life course.

Tom
She said that young people experience a higher frequency and a higher intensity of loneliness.  

Tejali
Frequency म्हणजे वारंवारता. Intensity म्हणजे तीव्रता. Why didn't they say 'young people feel lonely frequently and intensely'?

Tom
Good question! 'A higher frequency of' and 'a higher intensity of' are used to create a noun phrase. This emphasises the main subject – loneliness.

Tejali
हे वाक्य पुन्हा एकदा ऐका. तरूणांच्या एकाकीपणाविषयी त्यांच्याकडे काय माहिती जमा झालीये? याबद्दल त्याचं काय म्हणणं आहे?

Insert
Those younger people didn't just report a higher frequency of loneliness but they also reported higher intensity of loneliness. And for me that kind of gives us a further clue about what might be going on over a life course.

Tom
She said 'a clue about what might be going on over a life course'.

Tejali
'Over the course of a lifetime'हा आणखी एक औपचारिक वाक्प्रचार आहे एखाद्या व्यक्तीच्या आयुष्यातल्या अनुभवांविषयी काहीतरी सांगणारा. याचा अर्थ होतो `संपूर्ण आयुष्यभरात’.

Tom
So, over the course of a lifetime, people have a huge amount of experiences. They go to school, they go to work, they get married…

Phil
OK, OK – I think we're getting distracted here, Tom.  Why do young people feel so intensely lonely?

Tom
I'll give you a clue. It's to do with that expression, 'the course of a lifetime'.

Tejali
बरं, चला आता क्लिपचा दुसरा भाग ऐकू या. तरूणांना एकाकी वाटतं असं प्राध्यापिका का म्हणाल्या असतील?

Insert
I think, throughout your life course, you begin to realise, actually, this is a feeling that doesn't last forever, you're going to overcome it. But of course when you first experience it you don't know that. So, I think younger people are going to be experiencing loneliness more intensely because it's possibly the first time they've experienced it.

Phil
Interesting, she said that young people 'experience loneliness more intensely because it's possibly the first time they've experienced it'. 

Tom
And that older people realise the feeling doesn't last forever, so they don't feel such a high intensity of loneliness.

Tejali
To last forever म्हणजे बराच काळ टिकून राहणे. ज्येष्ठांना यातून overcomeकसं करायचं, त्यातून कसं बाहेर यायचं, त्यावर मात कशी करायची हे माहीत असतं, कारण त्यांना एकाकीपणातून बाहेर पडायचा अनुभव असतो.

Tom
Precisely. Listen to the speaker again. How does she pronounce 'going to overcome'?

Insert
This is a feeling that doesn't last forever, you're going to overcome it.

Tom
She said 'to overcome'. Here, there's an extra sound, which is /w/.
Say it with me:

overcome
wovercome
to overcome

Another example is 'end'. We could say 'to end'.

Tejali
आज आपण loneliness, frequency, intensity, clue, overcome and over the course of a lifetimeहे शब्द शिकलो. पुन्हा भेटूया Listen here च्या पुढच्या भागात. Bye.
