!Common mistakes 3
✗ This farming method is not sustain.
✓ This farming method is not sustainable.
After is not, an adjective is needed; sustain is a verb.
'Is not' के बाद adjective चाहिए; 'sustain' क्रिया है, इसलिए 'sustainable' लिखें।
✗ Cutting trees at this speed is not sustainable for long time.
✓ Cutting trees at this speed is not sustainable for a long time.
Long time needs an article after for.
'For a long time' में 'a' अनिवार्य है; इसके बिना वाक्य अधूरा लगता है।
✗ This sustainability method protects the forests.
✓ This sustainable method protects the forests.
Before a noun, use the adjective sustainable, not the noun sustainability.
Noun से पहले adjective 'sustainable' आता है, noun 'sustainability' नहीं।

-able से पहले -ain- बना रहता है ('sustainible' या 'sustanable' गलत है); noun sustainability; पर sustenance (जीने के लिए ज़रूरी भोजन-पानी) में -ain- बदलकर -en- हो जाता है।
