strongly built and durable
strong and solid, and not likely to break or wear out easily
الگوی کاربرد:
a sturdy [object]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use 'hard' instead of 'sturdy' for objects (e.g., 'hard shoes'). 'Hard' describes the surface, while 'sturdy' describes how strong and well-made something is overall. Another mistake is confusing 'sturdy' with 'heavy'; something can be sturdy without being very heavy.
هممعنیها
strong (very general word; does not always emphasize being well-made like 'sturdy' does for objects)
|
solid (suggests heaviness and firmness; 'sturdy' adds the idea of lasting a long time)
|
durable (focuses more on lasting a long time rather than on heaviness or thickness)
متضادها
flimsy (suggests something is light, weak, and easily broken, the opposite of well-built and strong)
|
fragile (emphasizes that something breaks or is damaged easily, unlike sturdy things)

physically strong and solidly built
having a strong, solid body and good physical strength
الگوی کاربرد:
a sturdy [person/animal]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use 'fat' instead of 'sturdy', which sounds rude. 'Sturdy' is usually positive and focuses on strength, not on extra weight. Some also confuse 'sturdy' with 'strong-willed'; for personality or opinions, use 'strong-willed' or 'determined', not this physical sense.
هممعنیها
strong (very general; does not always suggest a solid or stocky build the way 'sturdy' does)
|
robust (slightly more formal; can also refer to general health and energy, not just build)
|
stocky (focuses more on being short and broad; 'sturdy' is more positive and about strength)
متضادها
frail (suggests weak and easily hurt or tired, especially for older people, the opposite of sturdy)
|
delicate (implies physically weak or easily harmed, unlike a strong, sturdy person)

showing firm, reliable strength
showing strong and steady support, beliefs, or character that is not easily changed
الگوی کاربرد:
sturdy [abstract noun]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may extend the physical meaning and say things like 'a sturdy idea' or 'sturdy love' where 'strong' or 'firm' would be more natural. This figurative sense is most common with a limited set of nouns such as 'support', 'independence', 'belief', and 'common sense'.
هممعنیها
steadfast (more formal and often used for loyal support or love; 'sturdy' sounds more plain and down-to-earth)
|
robust (often used for arguments, systems, or attitudes that are strong and effective)
|
firm (very common and neutral; can sound slightly more formal in some contexts)
متضادها
weak (general opposite, suggesting little strength in opinions, character, or support)
|
wavering (suggests changing or uncertain attitudes, the opposite of steady, sturdy views)
