electric sex toy that vibrates
A small electric device that shakes quickly and is used to give sexual pleasure.
Patrón de uso:
a vibrator for [sexual activity]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "vibrator" with the more general term "sex toy". A vibrator is specifically a sex toy that vibrates. They may also try to use "vibrator" to talk about any object that shakes, like a washing machine or a phone; in everyday speech, people usually say "vibration" or "vibrate mode" for phones, not "vibrator".
Sinónimos
sex toy (More general; can be any object used for sexual pleasure, not only one that vibrates.)
|
personal massager (A more discreet or polite term, often used in advertising; usually still refers to a vibrator.)
|
dildo (A similar object shaped for penetration; may or may not vibrate, so it is not always the same as a vibrator.)
Antónimos
abstinence (Refers to avoiding sexual activity altogether, so it contrasts with using a vibrator for sexual pleasure.)

mechanical device that vibrates
A machine part or tool that shakes quickly to move or pack materials, or to make something vibrate.
Patrón de uso:
a vibrator for [material or machine]
Error frecuente:
Learners may not realize this is a technical term and may think of only the sexual meaning. In engineering or electronics texts, "vibrator" usually means a mechanical or electronic vibrating device, not a sex toy. Also, learners sometimes say "vibration motor" when the technical term used in documentation is "vibrator motor".
Sinónimos
shaker (A more general word for a device that shakes something; not always a precise technical name.)
|
oscillator (Technical term for a device that creates regular repeated motion or signals; broader and often electronic rather than mechanical.)
Antónimos
damper (A device used to reduce or absorb vibration, which is the opposite functional role of a vibrator.)
