Adaa

अदा
said a-daa
also written: Ada, adaaye
Meaning

A charming gesture or coquettish grace; a beautiful, expressive manner.

Literally: grace, charming gesture, style

Usage & notes

Ada is a single charming gesture — the particular way the beloved moves, glances, turns away, each motion a small act of enchantment. Where husn is the beauty itself, ada is its living style, the manner that makes a face unforgettable. Poets say a single ada can capture a heart more surely than perfect features; it is beauty in motion, beauty as personality.
