Word Usage, Word-Swap

Word Usage, Word-Swap in Hindi

1. Word Usage (शब्दों का प्रयोग)

शब्दों का प्रयोग एक विशेष संदर्भ में सही तरीके से करना महत्वपूर्ण है। यदि किसी शब्द का गलत प्रयोग किया जाए, तो वाक्य का अर्थ गलत हो सकता है।

  • टिप्स:
    • शब्दों का चयन वाक्य के अर्थ के हिसाब से किया जाए।
    • भाषा के प्रचलित और उचित प्रयोगों का ध्यान रखें।
  • उदाहरण:
    • सही: मुझे नये कपड़े पहनने का बहुत मन है।
    • गलत: मुझे नये कपड़े पहनने की बहुत इच्छा है। (यहां ‘मन’ शब्द सही है, ‘इच्छा’ का प्रयोग भी किया जा सकता है, लेकिन यह सामान्य रूप में ‘मन’ से अधिक उपयुक्त नहीं है।)

2. Word-Swap (शब्दों का अदला-बदली)

शब्दों का अदला-बदली करने से वाक्य के अर्थ में बदलाव आ सकता है। सही शब्द का चयन आवश्यक है। यह विशेषकर ऐसे शब्दों के मामले में होता है जिनके अर्थ लगभग समान होते हैं, लेकिन एक शब्द दूसरे शब्द से ज्यादा उपयुक्त या सही हो सकता है।

  • उदाहरण:
    • सही: उसने किताब को ठीक से रखा।
    • गलत: उसने किताब को सही से रखा।
      (यहां “ठीक” शब्द ज्यादा उपयुक्त है क्योंकि इसका मतलब है कि किसी वस्तु को ठीक प्रकार से रखा गया है।)

Word Usage, Word-Swap in English

1. Word Usage
Word usage refers to the way in which words are applied in different contexts. Understanding word usage is important for clear communication and to convey the intended meaning correctly.

2. Word-Swap
A word-swap involves replacing one word with another while maintaining the original sentence’s meaning. It is commonly used to enhance writing or test comprehension of word meanings.

Tips for Effective Word Usage & Word-Swap:

  • Context Matters: Ensure the word chosen fits the sentence context.
  • Synonyms & Antonyms: Understand the subtle differences between similar words.
  • Grammatical Compatibility: Check if the word fits grammatically in the sentence (e.g., noun, verb, adjective).
  • Avoid Overuse: Don’t repeat the same word too often, use synonyms instead.

Solved Examples

Example 1

Sentence: She was very tired after the long journey.
Word-Swap:

  • Original: tired → exhausted
  • Swapped: She was very exhausted after the long journey.
  • Explanation: ‘Exhausted’ is a more intense synonym for ‘tired’, making the sentence stronger.

Example 2

Sentence: He is extremely intelligent.
Word-Swap:

  • Original: intelligent → bright
  • Swapped: He is extremely bright.
  • Explanation: ‘Bright’ is a synonym for ‘intelligent’ and can be used here interchangeably.

  • Explanation: ‘Tasty’ is a synonym for ‘delicious,’ and both fit well in this context.

Example 4

Sentence: The scientist made an important discovery.
Word-Swap:

  • Original: important → significant
  • Swapped: The scientist made a significant discovery.
  • Explanation: ‘Significant’ is a synonym for ‘important,’ but adds more weight to the discovery.

Example 5

Sentence: The dog was very friendly with the visitors.
