person or business growing crops
A person or business that grows plants or crops to sell.
نمط الاستخدام:
a/an [adjective] grower of [crop]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use "farmer" and "grower" as complete synonyms. "Farmer" is more general and can include animals, land management, and many activities, while "grower" focuses on producing specific plants or crops, often for sale. Also, do not say "I am a grower flowers"; use "I am a flower grower" or "I grow flowers".
المرادفات
farmer (Often used for people who work the land in general; "grower" is more specific to producing a particular crop, often for market.)
الأضداد
buyer (A buyer purchases the crops or plants that a grower produces, so they are opposite roles in trade.)

plant with a certain growth rate
A plant, talked about by how fast or well it grows in a place.
نمط الاستخدام:
a [adjective] grower in [conditions]
خطأ شائع:
Learners may say "it grows fast plant" instead of using the noun pattern, for example, "It is a fast grower." Also, avoid using this sense for people; with people it sounds childlike or humorous unless you clearly mean physical growth rate.
المرادفات
plant (A very general word; "grower" adds the idea of how well or how fast the plant grows.)
الأضداد
non‑starter (Informal; used when a plant fails to grow at all, the opposite of a successful "grower" in the garden.)

thing you like more over time
A thing, for example a song or movie, that you do not like very much at first but like more after some time or after you try it many times.
نمط الاستخدام:
[something] is a real grower
خطأ شائع:
Learners may try to say "a grow up" or use the verb "grow" instead of the noun, for example, "The song grows on me" is correct as a verb phrase, while "The song is a grower" uses the noun. Also, this sense is informal; avoid it in very formal writing.
المرادفات
slow burner (Similar informal idea; often used for books, films, or relationships that become interesting slowly, not only for how much you like them.)
الأضداد
instant hit (Something you like or that becomes popular immediately, the opposite of something that takes time to appreciate.)

نمط الاستخدام:
[someone] is a [adjective] grower
خطأ شائع:
Learners may confuse this with the plant sense and say things like "my son is a good grower in the garden," which sounds wrong or humorous. Also, this pattern is usually used with children or young animals, not with adults.
المرادفات
fast‑growing child (More explicit description using an adjective and noun instead of the shorter noun "grower".)
الأضداد
