نمط الاستخدام:
a prestigious [institution/job/award/position/title]
غلطة شائعة:
Learners sometimes confuse "prestigious" with "precious" because they look similar, but "precious" means very valuable or loved, not high in status. Another common mistake is using the noun *prestige* instead of the adjective, for example saying "a prestige university" instead of the correct "a prestigious university." Also, learners may overuse it for everyday things (e.g., "a prestigious cafe"), while in natural English it is usually reserved for high-level institutions, jobs, or awards.
مرادفات
respected (More general and common; does not always suggest high status or exclusiveness the way "prestigious" often does.)
|
esteemed (Slightly more formal and literary; focuses on admiration rather than on social status or fame.)
|

أضداد
obscure (Describes something little known; the opposite of being well-known and admired like something prestigious.)
|
disreputable (Suggests a bad reputation and lack of respect, directly contrasting with the admired image of something prestigious.)
