लाखों में एक, जीवन में एक बार


Explanation:
Mathematically, a million is known as "दस लाख" in Hindi counting system. But idiomatically we say a million means "लाखों"(several lacs). "लाखों में एक" implies that something is unique or not seen usually around you(in good sense).

Example sentence(s):
  • मेरा बेटा लाखों में एक है.

neutral  Piyush Ojha: रत्नेश जी, यह उत्तर बहुत पहले दिया जा चुका है। यदि आप इसकी और व्याख्या करना चाहते थे तो discussion में करनी चाहिए थी।

  -> पीयूष जी! एक उत्तर बिलकुल मिलता है लेकिन मैंने देखा नहीं कि वो उत्तर कब पोस्ट किया गया. संभवतः ध्यान न गया हो. अगर वह उत्तर मुझसे पहले पोस्ट किया गया है तो आपकी शिकायत जायज है.
