Exaggerate में 'extra rate' सुनिए। दुकानदार extra rate लगा दे, तो वह चीज़ को असल से बड़ा-चढ़ा कर पेश करता है। याद रखिए: एक्स्ट्रा रेट — एग्ज़ाजरेट।

Hear 'extra rate' in EXAGGERATE. When a shopkeeper adds an extra rate, he makes a thing sound bigger and better than it really is. Remember his line: extra rate — exaggerate.
