Not showing respect for God, religion, or holy things.

الگوی کاربرد: [someone]/[something] is profane; profane [behavior]/[attitude]

2

containing obscene or swear words

Using very rude or dirty words, especially swear words.

الگوی کاربرد: profane [language]/[jokes]/[lyrics]

هم‌معنی‌ها
obscene (Focuses more on sexual content or extreme offensiveness, not always about swear words only.) | vulgar (Emphasizes rudeness and lack of refinement in language or behavior, sometimes broader than just swearing.)
متضادها

3

nonreligious or secular, not sacred

Not about religion or holy things; about normal, everyday life.

الگوی کاربرد: profane [music]/[art]/[literature]/[world]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often do not know this formal sense and may wrongly think 'profane music' always means music with swear words. In academic or religious contexts, it can simply mean 'secular, not religious'.
هم‌معنی‌ها
secular (Standard term in modern English for nonreligious matters; usually clearer and more common than 'profane' in this sense.) | nonreligious (Plain, descriptive term; less formal and more transparent than 'profane'.)
متضادها
sacred (Describes things set apart for religion or worship, the direct contrast with profane in religious studies.) | religious (General opposite: connected with religion, beliefs, or worship, unlike profane activities.)
ترکیب‌های رایج

4

treat something sacred irreverently

To use or handle a holy place or thing in a way that does not show respect.

الگوی کاربرد: to profane [a place]/[an object]/[a ritual]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may try to use 'profane' as a verb with the meaning 'to swear' (e.g., *he profaned a lot*). In this verb form it is mainly used about treating holy places or things without respect, not about simply using bad words.
هم‌معنی‌ها
desecrate (The most direct and common verb for damaging or disrespecting something sacred; often implies physical damage.) | violate (Broader; can refer to breaking laws or rules, but when used with sacred things it overlaps with 'profane'.)
متضادها
consecrate (Means to make something holy or dedicate it to a sacred purpose, the opposite process of profaning it.) | honor (General verb for showing respect, which is the opposite attitude to profaning something sacred.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
