Memory trick · Prashant Sir

FASTidious में 'fast' (उपवास) सुनिए — fast रखने वाला खाने-पीने में बहुत नख़रे दिखाता है: यह नहीं, वह नहीं, कुछ जल्दी पसंद नहीं आता। जिसे ख़ुश करना मुश्किल हो, वह fastidious है। यह सिर्फ़ याद रखने का तरीक़ा है।

Hear 'fast' (a religious fast, upvaas) in FASTidious: a person keeping a fast is very particular about food — not this, not that, nothing pleases easily. One who is difficult to please is fastidious. This link is only a memory aid.
