What you should understandआपको क्या समझना है?

  • Similar words are not always swappable: 'a big problem' sounds natural, 'a large problem' does not.
  • Choose the simple, common word first - 'help' usually works better than 'assist' in daily talk.
  • Some synonyms carry feeling: 'cheap' can sound negative, so say 'affordable' when you mean good value.
  • Learn a couple of alternatives for words you repeat often, like good, nice and very.
