person who trains others
A person who helps people or animals learn a skill or get better at something by giving them regular practice and guidance.
Käyttömalli:
a trainer trains [people or animals] for [a skill or activity]
Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners sometimes think a trainer is only for sports or the gym. In fact, a trainer can also work in companies, schools, or with animals (for example, a dog trainer or corporate trainer). Learners may also confuse 'trainer' with 'trainee': a trainer teaches; a trainee is the person who is learning.
Synonyymit
coach (Often used for sports or performance; can suggest motivating and guiding over time, not just teaching techniques.)
|
instructor (More formal and lesson-focused, common for classes or courses rather than ongoing performance improvement.)
Antonyymit
trainee (The person receiving training, not giving it; the role is the opposite of a trainer.)
|
beginner (Highlights someone at an early skill level who may need a trainer rather than being one.)

sports or casual shoe
A soft, comfortable shoe with a rubber bottom that people wear for sport or in their free time. (In American English, this is usually called a 'sneaker'.)
Käyttömalli:
a pair of trainers; to wear trainers
Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners who study mostly American English may not realize that 'trainers' in British English means 'sneakers'. They sometimes say *'a trainers'* instead of 'a pair of trainers' when talking about one pair. Remember that the usual phrase is 'a pair of trainers', even though 'trainers' looks plural.
Synonyymit
sneaker (The usual word in American English; strongly associated with casual style and youth culture.)
|
athletic shoe (More technical or general; used in product descriptions rather than everyday speech.)
Antonyymit
dress shoes (Formal shoes worn with smart clothing, the opposite of casual trainers.)
|
high heels (A formal or fashion shoe type contrasted with flat, sporty trainers.)

aircraft for pilot training
A special airplane that people use to learn how to fly before they fly bigger or faster planes.
Käyttömalli:
a trainer is used to teach [pilots] basic flying skills
Tyypillinen virhe:
Learners may assume 'trainer' always means a person or a shoe and not recognize this technical aviation meaning. In aviation news, the words around it (pilot, air force, jet, aircraft) usually make the meaning clear.
Synonyymit
training aircraft (More formal and explicit; common in technical or military writing.)
Antonyymit
frontline fighter (An operational combat aircraft used in real missions, contrasted with a trainer used only for learning.)
