?Which word?
terrifying, terrified and terrific
Terrifying describes the thing that causes terror: 'a terrifying film'. Terrified describes the person: 'I was terrified.' Terrific, which once meant causing terror, now means excellent or very great: 'a terrific performance', 'a terrific speed'. Do not use terrific for frightening.
Terrifying उस चीज़ के लिए है जो आतंक पैदा करे: 'a terrifying film'। Terrified उस व्यक्ति के लिए: 'I was terrified'। Terrific, जिसका अर्थ कभी 'आतंक पैदा करने वाला' था, अब 'बहुत बढ़िया' या 'बहुत ज़्यादा' है: 'a terrific performance', 'a terrific speed'। डरावने के लिए terrific न लिखिए।
