Memory trick · Prashant Sir

घड़ी का मिनट (MIN-it) पहले से ही छोटा-सा समय है। उच्चारण बदलकर माइन्यूट (my-NEWT) कीजिए तो अर्थ होता है बहुत सूक्ष्म — जैसे minute details। Spelling एक, आवाज़ दो, अर्थ दो।

The clock's MIN-it is already a tiny bit of time. Change the pronunciation to my-NEWT and the word means extremely small, as in 'minute details'. Same spelling, two sounds, two meanings.
