AaSpelling
del·e·te·ri·ous
With -lete- and -rious (not 'deletereous' or 'delterious').
बीच में -lete- और अंत में -rious ('deletereous' या 'delterious' गलत है)।
?Which word?
Keep the harmful words together: deleterious (formal), detrimental (causing damage), injurious (causing injury), pernicious (harmful in a gradual way), noxious (poisonous or harmful).
हानिकारक के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: deleterious (औपचारिक), detrimental (नुकसान पहुँचाने वाला), injurious (चोट पहुँचाने वाला), pernicious (धीरे-धीरे हानिकारक), noxious (विषैला या हानिकारक)।
§Grammar and usage
Deleterious to sth.
Deleterious (हानिकारक) के बाद preposition 'to' आता है, यानी deleterious to sth, जैसे smoking is deleterious to health (धूम्रपान सेहत के लिए हानिकारक है)।
