Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Costly में cost यानी दाम है; जिसका दाम ज़्यादा हो वो costly। Costly mistake यानी ऐसी ग़लती जिसकी भारी क़ीमत चुकानी पड़े। Cheap इसका ठीक उल्टा है।
Costly is simply cost + ly: something with a high cost. A costly mistake is one that makes you pay a heavy price. Cheap sits exactly opposite.
