?Which word?

Keep apart theory (an idea explaining something, tested by evidence) and hypothesis (an idea that has not yet been proved, to be tested by experiments).

Theory (किसी चीज़ को समझाने वाला विचार, प्रमाण से परखा, सिद्धांत) और hypothesis (अभी सिद्ध न हुआ विचार, प्रयोगों से परखा जाने वाला, परिकल्पना) को अलग रखिए।

Keep the suggest-explanation words together: theorise, hypothesize, speculate, postulate (suggest something as a basis for reasoning), conjecture.

व्याख्या सुझाने के शब्द साथ याद रखिए: theorise, hypothesize, speculate, postulate (तर्क के आधार के रूप में सुझाना), conjecture।

§Grammar and usage

Usage: theoretical means based on ideas rather than practical experience ('theoretical knowledge').

प्रयोग में theoretical का अर्थ व्यावहारिक अनुभव के बजाय विचारों पर आधारित, सैद्धांतिक है ('theoretical knowledge')।
