Raise is transitive and takes a direct object with no preposition. Rise is the one that goes with 'in': a rise in prices.

'Raise' सकर्मक क्रिया है और इसके बाद सीधे object आता है, preposition नहीं। 'In' के साथ noun 'rise' आता है: a rise in prices।

✗ The price of tomatoes has rised this week.

✓ The price of tomatoes has risen this week.

Rise is irregular: rise, rose, risen. There is no form 'rised'.

✗ He rose his hand to ask a question.

✓ He raised his hand to ask a question.

Rise cannot take an object. When you lift something, use raise (raise, raised, raised).

'Rise' के बाद object नहीं आ सकता। किसी चीज़ को उठाने के लिए 'raise' (raise, raised, raised) का प्रयोग करें।

≠Thesaurus: which synonym when

Rise and raise look alike but differ in whether an object follows.

Rise और raise देखने में एक जैसे हैं, पर इनमें अंतर यह है कि बाद में object आता है या नहीं।

rise

Intransitive: something goes up on its own, with no object.

अकर्मक: कोई चीज़ अपने आप ऊपर जाती है, object नहीं आता।

raise
