Critical के दो अर्थ हैं: critic कमियाँ निकालता है — इसलिए critical यानी आलोचनात्मक; और 'critical condition' वाला मरीज़ — यानी अत्यंत महत्वपूर्ण, नाज़ुक घड़ी।
Critical carries two ideas. A critic finds fault, so critical can mean expressing disapproval; and a patient in a 'critical condition' needs urgent care, so it also means extremely important.
Context से sense तय होता है: आलोचना वाले अर्थ में disapproving synonym और complimentary antonym है; महत्व वाले अर्थ में crucial synonym और trivial antonym है।
Context decides the sense: for disapproval, disapproving is the synonym and complimentary the antonym; for importance, crucial is the synonym and trivial the antonym.
