adjective B2 property
1

having mild, not extreme climate

Having weather that is not very hot or very cold, but usually mild.

نمط الاستخدام: temperate [climate/zone/region/weather]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "temperate" with "temperature" and try to say *"The temperature is temperate"*. Instead, use "The climate is temperate" or "The weather is mild." It is also not used for a single hot or cold day; it describes the general climate or usual weather.
المرادفات
mild (More general and common; can describe weather, tastes, or behavior, not just climate zones.) | moderate (Similar idea of not extreme, but used more broadly for amounts or opinions as well as weather.)
الأضداد
extreme (Describes climates or conditions with very high or very low temperatures or other severe features.) | tropical (Refers specifically to hot, often humid regions near the equator, contrasting with temperate areas.)

2

showing moderation and self-control

Acting in a calm, controlled way and not going to extremes with your feelings or actions.

نمط الاستخدام: temperate [response/approach/language]; temperate in [something]
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes confuse "temperate" with "temperamental" and say things like *"He is very temperate"* when they mean someone changes mood quickly. "Temperate" means controlled and moderate; "temperamental" means someone’s mood changes a lot.
المرادفات
moderate (Very close in meaning; slightly more common and less formal in everyday use.) | restrained (Emphasizes held-back emotions or actions; can sound a bit more critical or stiff.)
الأضداد
extreme (Describes views or actions that go very far in one direction, without moderation.) | hot-headed (Informal; describes someone who reacts quickly and angrily, without self-control.)
المتلازمات اللفظية
a temperate response |temperate language |a temperate approach |temperate tone |temperate in his criticism |temperate in her demands

3

moderate or restrained in drinking

Drinking no alcohol, or only a small amount, in a careful and controlled way.

نمط الاستخدام: temperate in [his/her/their] drinking; a temperate lifestyle
خطأ شائع:
Learners sometimes think "temperate" means "temporary" and say *"I am temperate drunk"* to mean drunk for a short time. This is incorrect. "Temperate" here is about not drinking much; to say the state is short, use words like "for a short time" or "only tonight."
المرادفات
abstinent (Often stronger; suggests not using alcohol (or other things) at all, sometimes for religious or moral reasons.) | moderate (Very common; can describe controlled drinking without the slightly moral or formal tone of "temperate".)
الأضداد
heavy-drinking (Describes someone who regularly drinks a lot of alcohol.) | intemperate (Formal; means lacking self-control, especially with alcohol or other physical pleasures.)
المتلازمات اللفظية
temperate in his drinking |temperate in her habits |a temperate lifestyle |temperate habits |a temperate drinker

virus or phage not immediately lytic

نمط الاستخدام: temperate [phage/bacteriophage/virus]
خطأ شائع:
Students may wrongly assume "temperate" has the same meaning here as in "temperate climate" or "temperate person". In microbiology, it has a special technical meaning only for certain viruses and phages.
المرادفات
lysogenic (Technical; focuses on the type of viral life cycle where the virus DNA is integrated into the host genome.)
الأضداد
lytic (Technical; describes viruses or phages that immediately replicate and burst the host cell.)
