Antonyms in Hindi – II Posted by 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
