Taciturn में tacit यानी बिना कहे का भाव है — जो स्वभाव से ही कम बोले, वही taciturn। Talkative इसका ठीक उल्टा है।

TACITURN begins with 'tacit', meaning unspoken. A taciturn person leaves most things unspoken and by nature talks very little.

Exam note

Reserved, reticent और laconic इसके synonym हैं; loquacious और garrulous antonym। Taciturn स्वभाव से चुप है, reticent किसी विषय पर।

Reserved, reticent and laconic are the synonyms; talkative, loquacious and garrulous are the antonyms. Taciturn is silent by nature, while reticent is silent about a particular matter.
