bittu, as I mentioned, you'd be better to look all these words up yourself, rather than having other people do it for you. It's good to post questions on the forum, but it's starting to look as if you're asking other people to do your homework for you.:) Check the Longman online dictionary site: http://www.ldoceonline.com
