اشتباه رایج:
Learners often use “limit” instead of “threshold” in all situations. “Limit” is very general, but “threshold” usually means the minimum point where something starts to happen or be noticed (for example, “income threshold,” “pain threshold”). Another common mistake is saying “in the threshold for” instead of “the threshold for” or “the threshold of.”

|
cutoff (Often used in technical or official contexts for a fixed point that separates two groups or states, similar to a threshold used as a dividing line.)
متضادها

اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse “threshold” with “doorstep.” A threshold is the strip at the bottom of the doorway that you step over; a doorstep is usually the outside step in front of the door. In many everyday situations people may not care about the difference, but in careful descriptions it matters.
معنی
bottom part of a doorway
ترکیبهای رایج
front-door threshold
|door threshold
|step over the threshold
|stand on the threshold
هممعنیها
doorstep (Often refers to the step just outside a door, not the actual strip at the bottom of the doorway, but in casual speech they can overlap.)
|
sill (More often used for “windowsill,” but “doorsill” can also refer to the same physical part as a threshold.)

اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say “in the threshold of a new life” instead of the fixed pattern “on the threshold of a new life.” Another mistake is to use “edge” in formal writing when “threshold” is more natural for positive or neutral new stages (for example, “on the threshold of a new era,” not usually “on the edge of a new era”).
معنی
point before a new stage begins

on the threshold of adulthood
|on the threshold of a new era
|on the threshold of success
|stand on the threshold
هممعنیها
brink (Suggests being very close to something, often dramatic or dangerous; “threshold” is more neutral and can be positive or negative.)
