Honest में honour सुनिए; जो सम्मान के लायक़ हो, वही honest है। ध्यान दीजिए, शुरू का h चुप रहता है — h बोलता नहीं, ईमानदारी बोलती है।

Hear HONOUR in HONEST: only a person who deserves honour is truly honest. Notice too that the first h is silent — the h keeps quiet, but honesty speaks.

Exam note

Honest के synonym sincere, candid, frank और guileless हैं; deceitful, dishonest और fraudulent इसके antonym हैं। Candid और frank में स्पष्टवादिता ज़्यादा है।

Honest is tested with sincere, candid, frank and guileless as synonyms; deceitful, dishonest and fraudulent are its antonyms. Candid and frank lean more towards plain speaking.
