Monorail
[ noun ]

/ˈmɑnɝˌeɪɫ/

a railway system that has only one rail instead of two, usually in an elevated position

What is a "monorail"?

A monorail is a type of railway system where the train runs on a single rail, usually elevated above the ground. The track is supported by columns or beams, and the train moves along the rail, often in urban areas or theme parks. Monorails are designed to take up less space than traditional two-rail systems, and they can avoid traffic by traveling above ground. They are often used for public transportation, offering a quick and efficient way to move people through busy cities or specific locations.

Monolingual
[ noun ]
uk flag
/ˌmɑnəˈɫɪŋɡwəɫ/

a person who speaks or is fluent in only one language

Who is a "monolingual"?

Monolingual refers to an individual who speaks only one language fluently. Monolingual individuals may have a limited understanding of other languages, but their primary language is the only one they use for communication in daily life. This status is common in many countries where a dominant language is spoken. Being monolingual can affect one's exposure to different cultures and perspectives, as knowledge of multiple languages often enhances cultural understanding and cognitive flexibility. While monolingual individuals may excel in their primary language, they may miss out on the benefits associated with bilingualism or multilingualism, such as improved cognitive skills and greater communication abilities.

What is "roadworthiness"?

Roadworthiness refers to the condition of a vehicle that ensures it is safe and fit to be driven on public roads. A roadworthy vehicle is one that meets safety and environmental standards, with properly functioning parts like brakes, lights, tires, and the exhaust system. Regular checks and inspections, such as the Ministry of Transportation test in some countries, are conducted to ensure that vehicles remain roadworthy. This is important to prevent accidents, reduce the risk of breakdowns, and protect the driver, passengers, and other road users.
