इन्हें अलग रखिए, यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: allusive (अप्रत्यक्ष संदर्भों वाला), elusive (खोजना, पकड़ना या याद रखना कठिन: 'an elusive criminal') और illusive (झूठा; भ्रामक, दुर्लभ)।
Keep the indirect words together: allusive, oblique (not direct), implicit, suggestive, cryptic (with a hidden meaning).
अप्रत्यक्ष के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: allusive, oblique (सीधा नहीं), implicit, suggestive, cryptic (छिपे अर्थ वाला)।
