Number of total car owners of TATA = 30 + 20 + 24 + 42 + 23 + 33 + 26 + 50 = 251 lakh

Now, 13% of 251 = 32.63 lakh

Those states which enjoy more than 34.45 Lacs car owners of TATA are Pune and Guwahati.

Yes, we often use transferred epithets in our daily conversation, knowingly or unknowingly. Though transferred epithets are more commonly used in poems and literature, they have become a natural part of our spoken and written English as they help give an emotional appeal to our thoughts.

Phrases like “Sleepless night”, “lucky pen”, “nervous cup of tea”, “lonely road” are some common examples of transferred epithets used in daily conversation.

A transferred epithet is a figure of speech in which an adjective is shifted from the person it logically describes to an object or idea closely associated with them. It is a poetic device that cleverly gives a dramatic or poetic effect to the sentence.

Transferred Epithet Examples:

  • “He clung to the hopeful letter, re-reading her words under a dim lamp.”
  • “Let's go for a walk. This peaceful breeze is too good to miss.”
  • “Wrap yourself in a lazy weekend with the cozy blankets.”
  • “Say goodbye to tired skin with our refreshing face wash.”

Writers and poets use transferred epithets to make their writing more imaginative, poetic, expressive, and emotionally engaging to the readers. Use of transferred epithets give depth to a sentence by subtly shifting the focus and drawing attention to the emotional state of the character.

No, transferred epithet is used in storytelling, advertisements, prose, and everyday conversation also.

Example:

  • “Taste the joyful crunch in every bite.” (Advertisement)
  • “The soldier trudged through the weary battlefield, his thoughts heavier than his rifle.” (Storytelling)
  • “She opened the impatient door and stepped into the quiet morning.” (Prose)
  • “Ugh, it's been a crazy day at work.” (Daily Conversation)
