Keep the brief words together: terse (brief and unfriendly), curt (rudely brief), succinct (brief and clear, positive), concise (short but complete), laconic (using very few words), pithy (short but full of meaning).

संक्षिप्त के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: terse (संक्षिप्त और रूखा), curt (रूखेपन से संक्षिप्त), succinct (संक्षिप्त और स्पष्ट, सकारात्मक), concise (छोटा पर पूर्ण), laconic (बहुत कम शब्दों वाला), pithy (छोटा पर अर्थपूर्ण)।

§Grammar and usage

Usage: terse can be neutral (brief) but usually suggests unfriendliness ('a terse statement').

प्रयोग में terse तटस्थ (संक्षिप्त) हो सकता है पर प्रायः रूखेपन का संकेत देता है ('a terse statement')।
