लहर
lahar
A wave is a movement of water that rises and falls, like the waves you see at the beach. It can also mean to move your hand back and forth to say hello or goodbye.
You say 'wave' like this: wayv. It rhymes with 'cave'.
The word 'wave' comes from an old English word 'wafian', which means to move or to flutter.
The word 'wave' in Hindi is 'लहर' (Lahar).
The word 'wave' in Kannada is 'ಅಲೆ' (Ale).
Waves are like big, friendly hugs from the ocean! Imagine the water rolling up to the shore, splashing and dancing. Just like the colorful animals in Eric Carle's books, waves come in all shapes and sizes.
Sometimes they are tiny, like a gentle tickle on your toes, and other times they are big and boisterous, making a loud crash! When you see a wave, you can jump and splash, or even pretend to be a fish swimming through the water.
So next time you visit the beach, watch the waves and let them tell you their fun stories!
