Egotist में T देखिए — T से talk. Egotist वह है जो हमेशा अपनी ही बातें करे, अपनी ही बड़ाई करे. Egoist में बस I है — 'मैं ही सब कुछ हूँ', यानी स्वार्थी. Egotist — T से talk; egoist — I से 'मैं'.

Look at the T in EgoTist: T for talk. An egotist keeps talking about himself and praising himself. The egoist has only the I: 'I am everything', which makes him selfish. Egotist: T for talk; egoist: I for 'me'.

Exam note

SSC बारीक अंतर पूछता है: egotist बोल-बोलकर अपनी बड़ाई करता है, egoist सिर्फ़ अपने स्वार्थ में जीता है. Narcissist वह है जो ख़ुद से ही प्रेम करे.

SSC tests the fine difference: an egotist talks and boasts about himself, an egoist lives only for his own interest. A narcissist is in love with himself.
