?Which word?
site, sight and cite
All three sound the same. Site is a place: 'a building site'. Sight is the ability to see, or something seen: 'a beautiful sight'. Cite is a verb meaning to quote or mention as an example: 'cite a source'. 'The site of the fort is a fine sight; the guide cited its history.'
तीनों की ध्वनि एक जैसी है। Site स्थान है, जैसे 'a building site'। Sight देखने की शक्ति या दिखने वाली चीज़ है, जैसे 'a beautiful sight'। Cite verb है जिसका अर्थ 'उद्धृत करना या उदाहरण के रूप में बताना' है, जैसे 'cite a source'। 'The site of the fort is a fine sight; the guide cited its history.'
