§Grammar and usage

Subscribe to something (a magazine, a channel or a view), not 'subscribe for' a magazine.

Subscribe to something (पत्रिका, चैनल या विचार) सही है, किसी पत्रिका के लिए 'subscribe for' नहीं।

Usage: A share issue that receives more applications than shares available is oversubscribed.

Usage में जिस share issue के लिए उपलब्ध shares से अधिक आवेदन आते हैं, उसे oversubscribed कहते हैं।
