la·bo·ri·ous
With -bori- and -ous; note that British labour has -our, but laborious drops the u (not 'labourious'), like humorous from humour.
बीच में -bori- और अंत में -ous; ध्यान रखिए कि British labour में -our है, पर laborious में u हट जाता है ('labourious' गलत है), जैसे humour से humorous।
?Which word?
Keep apart laborious (needing great effort) and laboured (showing effort, not natural: 'laboured breathing').
Laborious (बहुत प्रयास वाला) और laboured (जिसमें प्रयास झलके, स्वाभाविक नहीं: 'laboured breathing') को अलग रखिए।
