Comprise Vs Consist

Comprise

Comprise শব্দটি একটি verb.

Meaning as a verb:

অন্তর্ভূক্ত করা বা গঠণ করা।

To include or to be formed of.

Examples:

  • The committee comprises twelve members. (কমিটিটি বারো সদস্য নিয়ে গঠিত।)
  • This house comprises four rooms, two verandas, two washrooms, and a kitchen.
  • The office comprises four rooms, a reception, a dining, a kitchen, and three washrooms.
  • The book comprises twenty chapters.
  • A team comprising nurses and doctors are coming to the earthquake affected area.
  • Our office employees comprise people from different localities.

 

Consist

Consist শব্দটিও একটি verb.

Meaning as a verb:

এর অর্থও অন্তর্ভূক্ত করা বা গঠণ করা। কিন্তু consist-এর পরে সবসময় of বা in থাকে। প্রায়ই ‘comprised of’-এর ব্যবহার দেখা গেলেও তা ভুল।

This word also means to include or to be formed of. But consist is always followed by of or in. ‘Comprised of’ is frequently found but still wrong.

Examples:

  • Our team consists of seven members. (আমাদের দল সাত সদস্য নিয়ে গঠিত।)
  • This house consists of three rooms, a dining space, two verandas, two washrooms, and a kitchen.
  • Our true wellbeing consists only in God’s plan.
  • Their cricket team consists of fourteen members.
  • The book consists of twenty-five chapters.
  • Our office employees consist of people from different localities.
