AaSpelling
per·pet·u·ate
With -uate (not 'perpetuate' misspelt 'perpetiate' or 'perpetuat'); the adjective perpetual (never ending), the noun perpetuity (in perpetuity).
अंत में -uate ('perpetiate' या 'perpetuat' गलत है); adjective perpetual (कभी न खत्म होने वाला), noun perpetuity (in perpetuity)।
?Which word?
perpetuate or perpetrate?
Perpetuate means to make something continue: 'perpetuate a myth'. Perpetrate means to commit a crime or a bad act: 'perpetrate a fraud'. One letter apart, often confused: a crime is perpetrated once; an injustice may be perpetuated for generations. The noun perpetuity means for ever: 'leased in perpetuity'.
Perpetuate का अर्थ 'किसी चीज़ को जारी रखना' है: 'perpetuate a myth'। Perpetrate का अर्थ 'अपराध या बुरा काम करना' है: 'perpetrate a fraud'। एक अक्षर का अंतर, अक्सर भ्रम: अपराध एक बार perpetrate होता है; अन्याय पीढ़ियों तक perpetuate हो सकता है। Noun perpetuity का अर्थ 'हमेशा के लिए' है: 'leased in perpetuity'।
The perpetuate/perpetrate pair is a regular sentence-improvement item.
