ability to meet cash needs
How easily a person or company can get cash, or turn things they own into cash, so they can pay bills soon.
الگوی کاربرد:
the liquidity of [a company/system]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "liquidity" with "profit" or "solvency." A company can be profitable overall but still have low liquidity if it does not have enough cash right now. "Solvency" is about long-term ability to pay all debts, while "liquidity" focuses on short-term payments.
هممعنیها
cash reserves (Focuses specifically on the amount of cash saved, while "liquidity" also includes assets that can quickly be sold for cash.)
متضادها
illiquidity (Describes a lack of cash or easily sold assets, making it hard to pay short-term obligations.)

ease of trading an asset
How easy it is to buy or sell something, like a stock, quickly and in big amounts without changing its price a lot.
الگوی کاربرد:
liquidity in [a market/asset]

Learners sometimes think market "liquidity" only means high trading volume. While volume is related, liquidity also includes how much a trade changes the price and how tight the bid–ask spread is.
هممعنیها
market depth (Stresses the amount of buy and sell orders at different prices; "liquidity" is the broader, more common term for how easily trading can happen.)
متضادها

state of being liquid
The state of a substance when it is a liquid and can flow, not a solid or a gas.
الگوی کاربرد:
the liquidity of [a substance/mixture]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use "liquidity" instead of "liquid" in everyday speech (e.g., saying *"This soup has a good liquidity"*). In normal conversation, people usually say "This soup is very liquid" or "This soup is very runny"; "liquidity" is more technical or scientific.
هممعنیها
fluidity (Often refers more specifically to how easily a liquid flows, while "liquidity" here is the broader condition of being in liquid form.)
متضادها
solidity (Describes the opposite physical state, when a substance is solid and does not flow.)
