1

delay leaving or linger

to stay in a place and not leave when people expect you to leave

نمط الاستخدام: to tarry [somewhere] / to tarry [for a while]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes use "tarry" in everyday spoken English where "wait" or "stay" would be more natural. In modern casual speech, "tarry" sounds formal or old-fashioned, so it is usually better to say "linger", "wait", or "stay".
المرادفات
linger (more common modern word; suggests staying longer than necessary, often because you want to) | delay (focuses more on being late or causing lateness, less on the idea of staying in one place)
الأضداد
depart (emphasizes leaving a place, the opposite of staying longer) | hurry (focuses on moving or acting quickly instead of being slow to leave)
المتلازمات اللفظية
tarry a while |tarry here |tarry too long |tarry over |tarry in [a place]

خطأ شائع:
Learners may not realize this sense is old-fashioned and mostly found in historical or religious texts. In modern English, use "stay" or "spend time" instead of "tarry" for temporary living.
المرادفات
stay (very common and neutral; does not have the old-fashioned or literary feel of "tarry") | sojourn (formal and literary; emphasizes a temporary stay, similar register to this sense of "tarry")
الأضداد
leave (basic opposite of remaining in a place) | resettle (suggests moving to live somewhere more permanently, the opposite of a brief stay)

خطأ شائع:

المرادفات
tar-like (more transparent descriptive phrase; used especially in technical or everyday explanations) | pitchy (literary/technical; also refers to dark, sticky material like tar or pitch)
الأضداد
watery (emphasizes being thin and runny, the opposite of thick and tar-like) | clean (in contexts of surfaces or materials, covered with tar versus not dirty or coated)
