Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Grateful में gratitude छिपा है — जो मदद का gratitude (आभार) माने, वह grateful यानी कृतज्ञ। उल्टा ungrateful है।

GRATEFUL shares its root with 'gratitude': a person who feels gratitude for help is grateful, that is, thankful. Its opposite is ungrateful.

Exam note

SSC का trap 'Greatful' है; इस शब्द में 'great' नहीं है। Ungrateful और thankless antonym, thankful और appreciative synonym हैं।

SSC's trap is 'Greatful'; the word has no 'great' in it. Ungrateful and thankless come as antonyms; thankful and appreciative as synonyms.
