Memory trick · Prashant Sir

गर्मियों में लोग सड़क किनारे शरबत के स्टॉल लगाते हैं और हर राहगीर को पिलाते हैं। जो जन-जन को रस पिलाते हैं, वो generous हैं — खुले दिल से देने वाले। Miserly, stingy और greedy इसके उल्टे हैं।

In summer, people set up roadside stalls and serve sherbet to every passer-by. Those who give 'jan-jan ko ras' (juice to every person) are generous: they give freely. Miserly, stingy and greedy people are the opposite.

Exam note

Synonym benevolent, magnanimous, liberal और charitable; antonym miserly, stingy, mean, niggardly और parsimonious। Frugal सही उल्टा नहीं है — उसमें मितव्ययिता है, कंजूसी नहीं।

Synonyms are benevolent, magnanimous, liberal and charitable; antonyms are miserly, stingy, mean, niggardly and parsimonious. Frugal is not a true opposite of generous: it means careful with money, not mean.
