When I was new to Proz, I was told by senior translators that to use the disagree only in rare cases to keep this place helpful specially to promote study more than to fight. And also to place neutral comment as a friendly gesture if you are disagree. That time onwards I never place a single disagree comment. Please do think about it.

disagree Anindita Basu (X) : Um, I am sorry but doesn't "anari" almost means "ignorant"? And a neophyte is someone who has started taking steps to come out of that ignorance.

नए

खेलकूद की हिन्दी शब्दावली में neophyte के लिए ‘नए’ का भी प्रयोग होता है।

यहाँ 'seasoned and neophyte' के लिए ‘अनुभवी तथा नए’ का प्रयोग असहज नहीं लगता है।
