AMBI यानी दोनों — ये अर्थ भी हो सकता है, वो भी। 'अम्मी-मम्मी के ग़ुस्से का कुछ पता नहीं' — ambiguous! जिस बात के एक से ज़्यादा अर्थ निकलें, वह ambiguous है।

AMBI means both: this meaning is possible, and that one too. Hear 'ammi-mummy' in AMBIguous: no one can tell which way mummy's mood will turn. A statement open to more than one interpretation is ambiguous.

Exam note

Synonyms equivocal, vague, obscure; antonyms lucid, explicit, conclusive, evident. Ambiguous has two possible meanings, while vague has no clear meaning at all.
