Notorious में 'नो तौर-तरीका' सुनिए। जिसका कोई तौर-तरीका न हो, वह मशहूर तो होता है, पर बुरे कारणों से — कुख्यात।
Hear 'no taur-tareeka' (no manners, no proper way) in NOTORIOUS. A person with no decent ways becomes well known — but for bad reasons.
Famous (अच्छे कारण से) बनाम Notorious (बुरे कारण से) का trap आता है; infamous इसका synonym है। Notorious, nefarious और egregious को एक family में याद रखिए।
The classic trap is Famous (known for good) versus Notorious (known for bad); infamous is its synonym. Keep notorious, nefarious and egregious together as the 'bad' family.
