Memory trick · Prashant Sir

Selfish में बस self ज़रूरी, selfless में self ग़ायब। जोड़ा याद रखिए — -ish self रखता है, -less हटा देता है। Selfish यानी सिर्फ़ अपना फ़ायदा सोचने वाला।

SELFISH means 'self' is all that matters, while SELFLESS means 'self' is left out. Remember the pair: -ish keeps the self, -less removes it. A selfish person thinks only of his own advantage.
