Stop Saying 'Cousin Brother'! Sudharein apni ye 5 Common English Galtiyan

Hum Indians English toh achi bolte hain, lekin kuch aise phrases hain jo sirf India mein hi chalte hain aur gramatically galat hain. Agar aap kisi foreigner se ya kisi professional meeting mein aise bolenge, toh wo thoda ajeeb lag sakta hai.

Aaj hum seekhenge unhe Sahi (Correct) tarike se bolna!
1. Cousin Brother / Cousin Sister (❌)
Hum aksar bolte hain, "He is my cousin brother." Lekin English mein 'Cousin' ke saath Brother ya Sister nahi lagaya jata.
  • Correct: "He is my cousin." (Wo mera bhai/behen hai, gender 'He' ya 'She' se pata chal jayega.)
2. Revert Back (❌)
'Revert' ka matlab hi hota hai "waapas jawab dena". Iske saath 'Back' lagana galat hai.
  • Correct: "I will revert to your email soon." (Main jald hi aapke email ka jawab doon ga.)
3. Discuss About (❌)
Hum bolte hain, "Let's discuss about the wedding." Lekin 'Discuss' ke baad 'About' nahi lagta.
  • Correct: "Let's discuss the wedding."
4. Myself [Name] (❌)
Intro dete waqt "Myself Rahul" bolna galat hai. 'Myself' ek reflexive pronoun hai, intro ke liye nahi.
  • Correct: "I am Rahul" ya "My name is Rahul."
