never or not yet used
Not used before, or not used yet, so it is still all there or still new.
الگوی کاربرد:
unused [tickets/money/time/leaves/items]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes confuse "unused" with "new" and "unopened." "Unused" means nothing has been used yet, but the thing might not be brand-new (for example, an unused ticket from last year). For money or days off, do not say "not used money" or "not used vacation"; say "unused money" or "unused vacation days."
هممعنیها
remaining (Focuses on what is left over, not specifically on the idea of never having been used.)
متضادها
used (Means already taken, spent, or employed, so no longer completely available.)

not accustomed to something
Not used to something, so it feels strange or hard.
الگوی کاربرد:
be unused to [something/doing something]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often write "not used to" when they mean this sense, which is correct but uses a different structure: "be not used to [something]" vs. "be unused to [something]." Both are grammatical, but "unused to" is more formal and less common in everyday speech. Do not confuse this with "used to do" (past habit), which has a different meaning and grammar.
هممعنیها
unaccustomed (A slightly more formal word; otherwise very close in meaning to "unused" in this sense.)
متضادها
accustomed (Means familiar with something because it happens often or has happened for a long time.)
