'Dim' से शुरू कीजिए: light dim होती है तो रोशनी कम हो जाती है। Diminish यानी कम होना या कम करना, छोटा या कमज़ोर करना। Dwindle और weaken इसी group के हैं।

Start with 'dim': when a light is dimmed, it becomes less bright. To diminish is to make or become less, smaller or weaker. Dwindle and weaken are in the same group.
