Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Mag-nani-mous = मगन की नानी। मगन की नानी बहुत उदार हैं (उधार नहीं, उदार) — तोहफ़े भी देती हैं और हर गलती माफ़ भी करती हैं। Magnify से भी जोड़िए — इतना बड़ा दिल कि माफ़ कर दे।

Read MAGNANIMOUS as 'Magan ki nani' (Magan's grandmother): Magan's nani is very generous (udaar, not udhaar) — she gives gifts and forgives every mistake. You can also link it to magnify: a heart so big that it forgives easily.
