?Which word?

Keep the humiliate words together: abase (lower yourself), humiliate, demean, degrade, debase (reduce in value or quality), grovel (behave in a very humble way to get somebody's approval), kowtow (be too eager to obey somebody powerful).

अपमान के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: abase (स्वयं को गिराना), humiliate, demean, degrade, debase (मूल्य या गुणवत्ता घटाना), grovel (स्वीकृति के लिए बहुत दीनता दिखाना, गिड़गिड़ाना), kowtow (शक्तिशाली की आज्ञा मानने को अत्यधिक उत्सुक)।

Keep apart abase (lower) and abate (become less strong: 'The storm abated').

Abase (गिराना) और abate (कम होना: 'The storm abated') को अलग रखिए।
