art·ful
?Which word?
artful or artless?
Artful means cunning (and sometimes skilful). Artless means simple, natural and sincere, without cunning: 'an artless child'. The two are opposites, not synonyms; Dickens's Artful Dodger was a cunning pickpocket.
Artful का अर्थ 'चालाक' (और कभी-कभी 'कुशल') है। Artless का अर्थ 'सरल, सहज और निष्कपट, बिना चालाकी के' है, जैसे 'an artless child'। दोनों विपरीत हैं, पर्याय नहीं; Dickens का Artful Dodger एक चालाक जेबकतरा था।
The artful/artless pair is a regular item.
