Archaic में सुनिए — ‘अरे, कैसा ये archaic तरीका है!’ ARCH को पुरानी चीज़ों से जोड़िए, जैसे archaeology। ध्यान दीजिए: ancient बस पुराना है, archaic पुराना और use से बाहर।

Hear 'Are, kaisa' in ARCHAIC: 'Are, kaisa yeh archaic tareeka hai!' (Oh, what an outdated way this is!). Link ARCH with old things, as in archaeology. Remember: ancient only means old, but archaic means old and no longer in use.

Exam note

‘No longer in use’ के लिए archaic या obsolete चुनिए, ancient नहीं; antonyms modern और contemporary हैं।

For 'no longer in use', choose archaic or obsolete, not ancient; antonyms are modern and contemporary.
