care for and help grow
to take care of a person, animal, or thing and help them grow or develop well
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
to nurture [someone/something]
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners sometimes use "nurture" only for talking about babies or children, but it is also very common with abstract things like "nurture talent" or "nurture a relationship". Another mistake is using it without an object; it is almost always transitive (you nurture someone or something, not just "nurture" alone).

বিপরীতার্থক শব্দ

care and support for growth
the care and help that someone gives to help a person, animal, or thing grow or develop well
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
to need/receive/provide nurture
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners sometimes use "a nurture" as a countable noun (e.g. *"a good nurture"), but it is usually uncountable and used without an article. Use phrases like "good nurture" or "a lot of nurture" instead.
সমার্থক শব্দ
care (A broader, more general word; it does not always include the idea of long-term development that "nurture" suggests.)
বিপরীতার্থক শব্দ
neglect (Refers to a lack of necessary care or attention, which contrasts with the supportive care implied by "nurture".)

encourage a feeling or idea
to let a feeling or idea grow slowly by thinking about it or supporting it for a long time
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
to nurture [a feeling/idea/quality]
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners sometimes confuse this abstract sense with the more concrete sense of caring for children or plants. When the object is a feeling or idea (like "ambition", "hope", "hatred"), the meaning is mental and emotional, not physical care.
সমার্থক শব্দ
cultivate (Often slightly more formal; frequently used with feelings or skills, such as "cultivate patience" or "cultivate an image".)
বিপরীতার্থক শব্দ
suppress (Means to stop or hold down a feeling or idea, which is the opposite of helping it grow.)

environment and upbringing influence
the things in a person's life, like family, school, and culture, that shape how they grow and behave, not including their genes
ব্যবহারের ধরন:
nature versus nurture
সাধারণ ভুল:
Learners sometimes think "nurture" here means only the love or care from parents. In the phrase "nature versus nurture", it more broadly includes all environmental and social influences, not just parental care.
সমার্থক শব্দ
environment (A broader everyday term; in this context it refers to the surroundings and experiences that affect development, similar to "nurture" in the "nature vs nurture" contrast.)
বিপরীতার্থক শব্দ
nature (In this specific contrast, "nature" refers to genetic factors, which are opposed to the environmental factors referred to as "nurture".)
