Contagious में contact सुनिए: contagious बीमारी contact से, यानी मरीज़ या उसकी चीज़ों को छूने से फैलती है। हँसी भी contagious हो सकती है, क्योंकि पास वालों तक फैल जाती है।

Hear contact in CONTAGIOUS: a contagious disease spreads by contact, by touching the patient or his things. Even a laugh can be contagious, because it spreads to everyone near you.

Exam note

Tested अंतर: contagious छूने से फैलता है, infectious हवा या पानी से भी। Contiguous (सटा हुआ) look-alike trap है।

The tested difference: contagious spreads by touch, infectious spreads through air or water too. Contiguous (touching borders) is the look-alike trap.
