Frequently Asked Questions
How do I know whether to use a Tatsam or Tadbhav antonym?
Always match the style of the word given in the question. If the question word is from Sanskrit (Tatsam), write its Sanskrit opposite.
Can I just add 'na' or 'nahi' to make an opposite word?
No, adding 'nahi' is incorrect in formal ICSE grammar. You must use the specific traditional opposite word taught in your textbook.
Why do some words have more than one antonym?
Some advanced words change their opposite based on the context or gender of the noun they are describing.
