AaSpelling

be·siege

With -ie- (i before e, like siege; not 'beseige').

यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: be-siege, -ie- के साथ (e से पहले i, siege की तरह; 'beseige' गलत है)।

?Which word?

Keep the surround words together: besiege (surround to attack; overwhelm with questions), beleaguer (surround; cause many problems: 'a beleaguered government'), encircle, blockade (prevent goods from entering or leaving), inundate (overwhelm with a large amount).

घेरने के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: besiege (हमले के लिए घेरना; प्रश्नों से घेर लेना), beleaguer (घेरना; अनेक समस्याएँ देना: 'a beleaguered government'), encircle, blockade (माल आने-जाने से रोकना, नाकेबंदी), inundate (भारी मात्रा से भर देना)।
