?Which word?
community, communal and commune
Community is a group of people who share something. Communal means shared by a group ('a communal kitchen') and, in India, relating to conflict between religious communities ('communal riots'). A commune is a group of people who live together and share property. Communism is a different word again, the political system.
Community वह समूह है जो कुछ साझा करे। Communal का अर्थ 'समूह द्वारा साझा' ('a communal kitchen') और, भारत में, 'धार्मिक समुदायों के बीच संघर्ष से संबंधित' ('communal riots') है। Commune ऐसे लोगों का समूह है जो साथ रहें और संपत्ति बाँटें। Communism फिर अलग शब्द है, राजनीतिक व्यवस्था।
The community/communal/commune set is a usage item.
Community, communal और commune का सेट usage में आता है।
