1

strongly supporting one side

Strongly supporting one political group or side, and not being fair or open to the others.

الگوی کاربرد: [someone/something] is [partisan] about [an issue]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often confuse "partisan" with "partial". While both can mean "not fair", "partisan" almost always refers to strong support for a political party, group, or side, especially in politics and media. Another common confusion is between "partisan" and "bipartisan"; "bipartisan" means that two opposing parties cooperate, which is almost the opposite idea.

strong supporter of a side

A person who strongly supports one person, political party, or idea, and usually does not listen to the other side.

الگوی کاربرد: [a partisan] of [a person/party/cause]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes think a "partisan" is any member of a political party. In modern usage it usually suggests a very strong, loyal, and often uncritical supporter, not just an ordinary member.
هم‌معنی‌ها
supporter (More general and neutral; does not always suggest strong loyalty or closed-mindedness.) | devotee (Suggests strong admiration or enthusiasm, sometimes outside politics.) | diehard (Informal; stresses extreme loyalty and resistance to change.)
متضادها
opponent (Directly opposes the person, party, or cause that the partisan supports.) | critic (Focuses on someone who questions or attacks what partisans defend.)

member of a resistance group

A member of a small secret army that fights against a foreign army or government that controls their country.

الگوی کاربرد: [partisans] fought against [an occupying force]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse this meaning with the more common political meaning of "partisan" as a supporter. In this sense, a "partisan" is not just a supporter but an armed fighter in a resistance group, often in a historical or wartime context.
هم‌معنی‌ها
resistance fighter (More descriptive and transparent; very close in meaning but broader in time and place.) | guerrilla (Focuses on irregular, small-unit warfare; not always against an occupying force from another country.)
متضادها
occupier (Refers to soldiers or authorities from the foreign power that controls the area the partisans are fighting in.) | collaborator (Someone from the local population who works with the occupiers instead of resisting them.)
