Memory trick · Prashant Sir
Potable = pot + able। जिस पानी को pot (घड़े) में रखकर आराम से पी सकें, वही potable। Portable से अलग है, portable यानी ले जाने योग्य।
POTABLE = POT + able. Water you can keep in a clay pot and drink safely is potable. Do not confuse it with portable, which means easy to carry.
