Youwhat are ur thoughts on it? when i say she is beautiful, here 'is' is just the replacement of 'looks', so we can say 'is' means looks kind of, but the moment we say she is krittika, here 'is' not equal to 'looks'. what are ur thoughtts on it

The word "is" in English is a form of "be" which is a linking verb. It connects the subject with more information about the subject. In the sentence "She is beautiful", "is" links the subject "she" to the adjective "beautiful". It doesn't necessarily mean "looks". It's more about a state of being.

In the sentence "She is Krittika", "is" links the subject "she" to the noun "Krittika". Here, "is" is used to identify the subject. It doesn't mean "looks like" in this context.

So, the meaning of "is" can change based on the context it's used in. It can denote a state of being, identification, or sometimes appearance, but it doesn't strictly mean "looks".
