?Which word?
chronic or acute?
A chronic illness develops slowly and lasts a long time: chronic diabetes. An acute illness comes on suddenly and severely but lasts a short time: acute appendicitis. Chronic does not mean severe.
Chronic बीमारी धीरे-धीरे बढ़ती है और लंबे समय तक रहती है, जैसे chronic diabetes। Acute बीमारी अचानक और तेज़ी से आती है पर कम समय रहती है, जैसे acute appendicitis। Chronic का अर्थ 'गंभीर' नहीं है।
The chronic/acute pair is a regular item.
Chronic और acute की जोड़ी अक्सर पूछी जाती है।
