§Grammar and usage
Trap, asked very often: eventual means final or happening in the end, not 'possible'; similarly eventually means 'in the end, after a long time', not 'by chance' (in some languages a similar word means possibly).
Trap में यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: eventual का अर्थ अंतिम या अंत में होने वाला है, 'संभावित' नहीं; इसी तरह eventually का अर्थ 'अंततः, लंबे समय बाद' है, 'संयोग से' नहीं (कुछ भाषाओं में मिलते-जुलते शब्द का अर्थ संभवतः है)।
