venial or venal?

Venial means forgivable, minor: 'a venial offence'. Venal means willing to be bribed, corrupt: 'a venal official'. One letter apart, and both appear in exams.

Venial का अर्थ 'क्षम्य, मामूली' है, जैसे 'a venial offence'। Venal का अर्थ 'रिश्वत लेने वाला, भ्रष्ट' है, जैसे 'a venal official'। एक अक्षर का अंतर है और दोनों परीक्षा में आते हैं।
