?Which word?

Keep the allowing-too-much words together: permissive, lenient (not strict in punishing), indulgent (allowing somebody to have what they want), lax (not strict enough), liberal.

अत्यधिक छूट के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: permissive, lenient (दंड में नरम), indulgent (मनचाहा पाने देना), lax (पर्याप्त कठोर नहीं), liberal।

Keep apart permissive (allowing much freedom) and submissive (too willing to obey).

Permissive (बहुत स्वतंत्रता देने वाला) और submissive (आज्ञा मानने को अत्यधिक तत्पर) को अलग रखिए।
