?Which word?
fact, factual and factory
Fact is a true thing; factual means based on facts: 'a factual report'. Factory (a building where goods are made) shares the Latin root facere, to make, but not the meaning. Keep apart fact (proved true) and opinion (what somebody thinks): 'It is a fact that water boils at 100 degrees; it is my opinion that tea tastes better than coffee.'
Fact सच्ची बात है; factual का अर्थ 'तथ्यों पर आधारित' है: 'a factual report'। Factory (जहाँ माल बनता है) Latin मूल facere, बनाना, साझा करता है पर अर्थ नहीं। Fact (सिद्ध सत्य) और opinion (किसी की सोच) को अलग रखिए: 'It is a fact that water boils at 100 degrees; it is my opinion that tea tastes better than coffee'।
