Hi David, could you please explain more this phraze “जारी करना is also an intransitive counterpart that can indicate an agent starting something.”. Just it is not very clear for me why it is intransitive, please write some example.
Hey, Kateryna! That was an error. I meant to write “transitive”. Thanks for letting me know about the mistake! I’ve updated the article. This word is primarily used to mean “to issue (something)”, so I omitted that remark.
