?Which word?
avenge or revenge?
Avenge is usually used for punishing somebody for a wrong done to another person, often with a sense of justice: 'avenge a brother's murder'. Revenge is more personal and often about your own anger: 'take revenge on sb', 'revenge yourself on sb'. The noun is revenge in both cases.
Avenge प्रायः किसी दूसरे के साथ हुए अन्याय के लिए दंड देने में आता है, अक्सर न्याय के भाव से: 'avenge a brother's murder'। Revenge अधिक व्यक्तिगत है और प्रायः अपने क्रोध से जुड़ा: 'take revenge on sb', 'revenge yourself on sb'। दोनों में noun revenge है।
The avenge/revenge pair is a usage item.
Avenge और revenge की जोड़ी usage में आती है।
Keep the revenge words together: avenge, retaliate (respond to an attack with an attack), reprisal (an act of revenge), retribution (deserved punishment), vendetta (a long feud).
बदले के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: avenge, retaliate (हमले का जवाब हमले से), reprisal (बदले की कार्रवाई), retribution (उचित दंड), vendetta (लंबी दुश्मनी)।
§Grammar and usage
Avenge yourself on sb; take revenge on sb for sth.
दो patterns याद रखें: 'avenge yourself on sb' (खुद किसी से बदला लेना) और 'take revenge on sb for sth' (किसी बात के लिए किसी से बदला लेना)। Preposition 'on' और 'for' ध्यान से लगाएँ।
