discover

To discover something means to find out or learn about it for the first time. You might stumble upon a hidden talent or a new place in your neighborhood that you never knew existed.

When we talk about discovering, often what happens is that someone finds out information they didn't know before. This can be from reading a book, talking to someone, or even just experimenting and trying something new. For example, if you're learning a new language, you might discover that you have a natural talent for speaking it fluently. Or maybe while browsing through a museum, you stumble upon an art piece that's so beautiful it sparks your creativity - now you've discovered a new inspiration!
