Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Il = नहीं, और मूल वही है जो letter और literature में है। Illiterate यानी जो letters न जाने, पढ़-लिख न सके।

Il means not, and the root is the same as in letter and literature. An illiterate person does not know the letters, so he cannot read or write.

Exam note

Spelling I-L-L-I-T-E-R-A-T-E में दो ‘l’ हैं; literate इसका antonym और illiteracy noun है।

Watch the spelling I-L-L-I-T-E-R-A-T-E with double ‘l’; literate is the antonym, and illiteracy is the noun.
