?Which word?
infamous is not 'not famous'
Infamous does not mean unknown; it means famous for something bad, like notorious. Note the pronunciation: /ˈɪnfəməs/, with the stress on the first syllable, unlike famous /ˈfeɪməs/. The noun is infamy.
Infamous का अर्थ 'अप्रसिद्ध' नहीं है; इसका अर्थ 'बुरे कारण से प्रसिद्ध, कुख्यात' है, notorious की तरह। Pronunciation ध्यान रखिए: /ˈɪnfəməs/, stress पहले syllable पर, famous /ˈfeɪməs/ से अलग। Noun infamy है।
The infamous/famous/notorious set is a regular item; infamous is a trap because the prefix looks negative.
Infamous, famous और notorious का सेट अक्सर पूछा जाता है; infamous एक trap है क्योंकि उपसर्ग negative दिखता है।
§Grammar and usage
/ˈɪnfəməs/.
Pronunciation: infamous का उच्चारण /ˈɪnfəməs/ है, यानी पहले syllable पर stress आता है और बीच का 'a' कमज़ोर 'ə' की तरह बोला जाता है।
