?Which word?

human or humane?

Human means connected with people: 'the human body', 'human nature'. Humane, with stress on the second syllable, means kind and merciful: 'humane treatment'. The opposites are non-human and inhumane.

Human का अर्थ 'मनुष्य से संबंधित' है, जैसे 'the human body', 'human nature'। Humane, जिसमें stress दूसरे syllable पर है, का अर्थ 'दयालु, करुणामय' है, जैसे 'humane treatment'। इनके विपरीत non-human और inhumane हैं।

§Grammar and usage

/hjuːˈmeɪn/, stress on -mane.

Pronunciation: humane का उच्चारण /hjuːˈmeɪn/ है, यानी stress दूसरे syllable -mane पर पड़ता है, पहले syllable पर नहीं।
