Antonyms in Hindi – II Posted by Nitin Kumar on Dec 26, 2011 in Hindi Language
In continuing my post on Antonyms in Hindi, I will show the antonyms for some of the common Hindi words. Antonyms in Hindi are called विलोम शब्द (Vilom – Opposite, Shabdh – Words)
Like the first post, I would like to point out some observations as given below
Many antonyms are being made by adding certain prefix. You can find many of them in the table below. They will sound similar after the before-said prefix. Some of the common prefix are अनु (anu), आ (aa), अ (a) , नि (ni) , वि (vi), प्रति (prati), दु (du) etc.
