?Which word?
deprecate or depreciate?
Deprecate means to disapprove of: 'deprecate violence'. Depreciate means to lose value, especially over time: 'Cars depreciate quickly'; it can also mean to belittle. Self-deprecating means modest about yourself: 'a self-deprecating joke'. The two verbs are often confused because both can mean belittle.
Deprecate का अर्थ 'नापसंद करना, निंदा करना' है: 'deprecate violence'। Depreciate का अर्थ 'समय के साथ मूल्य घटना' है: 'Cars depreciate quickly'; इसका अर्थ 'कम आँकना' भी हो सकता है। Self-deprecating का अर्थ 'अपने बारे में विनम्र' है: 'a self-deprecating joke'। दोनों verbs प्रायः भ्रमित किए जाते हैं क्योंकि दोनों का अर्थ 'कम आँकना' हो सकता है।
