Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Compliment = praise, इसलिए complimentary बातें = प्रशंसा वाली बातें। Hotel का complimentary breakfast भी उनकी तरफ़ से compliment है — यानी मुफ़्त।

Compliment means praise, so complimentary words are words of praise. A complimentary breakfast is also a kind of compliment from the hotel — it comes free.

Exam note

SSC बार-बार complimentary (प्रशंसात्मक, मुफ़्त) और complementary (पूरक) का जाल बिछाता है; praise वाले sense में derogatory और insulting antonym हैं।

SSC repeatedly tests complimentary (praising, free) against complementary (completing, supplementary); derogatory and insulting are the antonyms of the praise sense.
