◇Word family
≈Synonyms and antonyms
AaSpelling

in·volved

With -olve and -d (not 'involed'); the noun involvement.

-olve और -d के साथ ('involed' गलत है); noun involvement।

?Which word?

involved in or involved with?

Involved in means taking part in an activity or connected with an event: 'involved in the project', 'involved in the accident'. Involved with means closely connected with a person or an organization, often romantically: 'involved with a married man', 'involved with the club'. The verb involve takes -ing: 'The job involves travelling' (not 'to travel').

'Involved in' का अर्थ 'किसी गतिविधि में भाग लेना' या 'किसी घटना से जुड़ा' है: 'involved in the project', 'involved in the accident'। 'Involved with' का अर्थ 'किसी व्यक्ति या संस्था से निकट से जुड़ा', प्रायः प्रेम में: 'involved with a married man', 'involved with the club'। Verb involve के बाद -ing आता है: 'The job involves travelling' ('to travel' नहीं)।

§Grammar and usage

Involved in (activity, event) versus involved with (person, organization).

यह बहुत पूछा जाता है: 'involved in' (गतिविधि, घटना) बनाम 'involved with' (व्यक्ति, संस्था)।

Involve doing sth (not 'involve to do').

Usage: involve के बाद verb की -ing form (gerund) आती है, infinitive नहीं, इसलिए 'Involve doing sth' सही है और 'involve to do' गलत है।

Note the three senses: taking part, complicated, absorbed; all tested.

तीनों अर्थ ध्यान रखिए: भाग लेना, जटिल, डूबा हुआ; सब पूछे जाते हैं।
