Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Ancient में antique वाली पुरानी ध्वनि है, वही antique जो museum की पुरानी चीज़ों के लिए बोलते हैं। दोनों बहुत पुराने समय की बात करते हैं; modern इसका उल्टा।

Ancient shares its old sound with antique, the word we use for very old objects in a museum. Both point to the very distant past; modern is the opposite.
