Memory trick · Prashant Sir
जो आपका favourite है, उसी पर आप favour करते हैं — उसे पसंद करते हैं, उस पर कृपा करते हैं। British spelling में favourite की तरह 'u' रखिए।
Your FAVOURite person is the one you show favour to: you prefer them and do them kindnesses. So favour means an act of kindness, or to prefer. Keep the British 'u' as in favourite.
