as·sure

Double s (not 'asure'); the noun assurance (life assurance in British English).

दो s ('asure' गलत है); noun assurance (British English में life assurance)।

?Which word?

assure, ensure and insure

Assure means to tell somebody confidently that something is true, to remove their doubt: 'I assure you he is honest' (you assure a person). Ensure means to make certain that something happens: 'Ensure that the door is locked.' Insure means to buy insurance against loss: 'insure the car against theft'. American English often uses insure for ensure, but British English keeps them apart.

Assure का अर्थ 'किसी को आत्मविश्वास से बताना कि कुछ सच है, उसका संदेह दूर करना' है: 'I assure you he is honest' (व्यक्ति को assure करते हैं)। Ensure का अर्थ 'सुनिश्चित करना कि कुछ हो' है: 'Ensure that the door is locked'। Insure का अर्थ 'नुकसान के विरुद्ध बीमा कराना' है: 'insure the car against theft'। American English में प्रायः ensure के लिए insure आता है, पर British English इन्हें अलग रखती है।

The assure/ensure/insure set is one of the most-tested sentence-improvement items: you assure a person, ensure a result, insure property.

Assure, ensure और insure का सेट sentence improvement में सबसे ज़्यादा पूछे जाने वाले items में है: व्यक्ति को assure, परिणाम को ensure, संपत्ति को insure करते हैं।
