Memory trick · Prashant Sir

हिंदी का मुहावरा याद कीजिए: 'हर बात में कीड़े निकालना', यानी हर चीज़ में कमी ढूँढना। Critic के 'क्रि' को 'कीड़े' सुनिए: critic हर चीज़ में कीड़े निकालता है और उसे कुछ भी अच्छा नहीं दिखता।

Think of the Hindi phrase 'keede nikaalna' (to pick insects out of everything), which means finding fault in everything. Hear 'kri' as 'keede' in CRITIC: a critic is always picking faults and finds nothing good anywhere.

Exam note

परिवार अलग रखिए: critic व्यक्ति है, critique समीक्षा, criticism आलोचना और critical आलोचनात्मक या गंभीर।

Keep the family apart: critic is the person, critique is a detailed review, criticism is the act of finding fault, and critical can mean fault-finding or very serious.
