Common mistakes

Not natural: Please aside the chair.

Better: Please move the chair aside.

Aside does not work as a verb here; use a verb such as move before it.

यहाँ aside verb नहीं है। इसके पहले move जैसा verb लगाएँ: move the chair aside।

Not natural: She aside her bag near the door.

Better: She set her bag aside near the door.

Use set or put to describe placing something to one side; aside alone cannot express the action.

किसी चीज़ को एक तरफ रखने के लिए set या put लगाएँ; aside अकेले यह काम नहीं बताता।
