?Which word?

initiate, initiative and initial

Initiate means to begin or to admit somebody. Initiative is the ability to act on your own, or a new plan: 'take the initiative', 'a government initiative'. Initial means first, or the first letter of a name.

Initiate का अर्थ 'शुरू करना' या 'किसी को शामिल करना' है। Initiative का अर्थ 'स्वयं कार्य करने की क्षमता' या 'नई योजना' है, जैसे 'take the initiative', 'a government initiative'। Initial का अर्थ 'पहला' या 'नाम का पहला अक्षर' है।

§Grammar and usage

Verb /-ieɪt/, noun /-iət/.

Pronunciation: initiate जब verb हो तो अंत में /-ieɪt/ बोला जाता है, और जब noun हो (जैसे a new initiate, यानी नया दीक्षित व्यक्ति) तो अंत में /-iət/ बोला जाता है।

Initiate sb into sth.

'initiate sb into sth' आता है।
