?Which word?

Do not confuse slump (a sudden fall in sales or economic activity) and slum (a poor, overcrowded area of a city).

Slump (बिक्री या आर्थिक गतिविधि में अचानक गिरावट, मंदी) और slum (शहर की गरीब और भीड़-भाड़ वाली बस्ती, झुग्गी) में भ्रम न करें।

§Grammar and usage

Usage: a recession is a period of economic decline, and a long, severe slump is called a depression.

Usage में recession आर्थिक गिरावट का दौर है, और लंबी व गंभीर मंदी को depression कहते हैं।
