उत्तर
- A formal religious speech delivered by a member of the clergy to provide moral or spiritual guidance.
- Unlike a lecture (which is academic/informative) or a talk (which is casual), a sermon is based on religious or moral authority to inspire personal conduct.
- Yes, it is often used as a joke or to complain. Saying “my mother’s sermon” implies a long, repetitive, and unsolicited lecture that feels like being “preached to” about rules or responsibilities.
