अंत में -tual ('mutal' या 'mutuel' गलत है)।
?Which word?
mutual or common?
Mutual means felt or done by each towards the other: 'mutual respect', 'mutual help'. Common means shared by two or more: 'a common language'. 'A mutual friend' (shared by two people) is now standard, though purists prefer 'a common friend'. 'Each other' after mutual is a tautology: 'mutual respect', not 'mutual respect for each other'.
Mutual का अर्थ 'एक-दूसरे के प्रति महसूस या किया गया' है: 'mutual respect', 'mutual help'। Common का अर्थ 'दो या अधिक द्वारा साझा' है: 'a common language'। 'A mutual friend' (दो लोगों का साझा) अब मानक है, हालाँकि शुद्धतावादी 'a common friend' पसंद करते हैं। Mutual के बाद 'each other' पुनरुक्ति है: 'mutual respect', 'mutual respect for each other' नहीं।
Keep apart mutual (two-way) and reciprocal (given in return).
Mutual (दोतरफ़ा) और reciprocal (बदले में दिया गया) को अलग रखिए।
§Grammar and usage
'mutual ... each other' is a redundancy.
'mutual ... each other' पुनरुक्ति है।
