?Which word?

Do not confuse remorseful (feeling sorry for what you did) and remorseless (showing no pity, or never stopping), as in 'a remorseless killer' or 'the remorseless rise in prices'.

Remorseful (अपने किए पर पछताने वाला) और remorseless (निर्दय, या कभी न रुकने वाला) में भ्रम न करें, जैसे 'a remorseless killer' या 'the remorseless rise in prices'।
