?Which word?

Do not confuse childish (silly, used to criticize an adult) and childlike (innocent and simple in a good way); infantile is close to childish.

Childish (बचकाना, किसी वयस्क की आलोचना में) और childlike (अच्छे अर्थ में मासूम और सरल) में भ्रम न करें; infantile का अर्थ childish के क़रीब है।
