person who is a beginner
A person who has just started doing something and does not have much experience yet.
用法パターン：
a novice at [an activity]
よくある間違い：
Learners sometimes forget the article and say *"I am novice at this"* instead of *"I am a novice at this."* Also, *"novice"* is usually followed by *"at"* or *"in"*, as in *"a novice at tennis"* or *"a novice in this field"*, not *"a novice of tennis".* Another confusion is using *"novice"* as a verb (e.g., *"I novice cooking"*), which is incorrect; it is only a noun.

2
trainee member of religious order
Someone who lives with a religious group, like monks or nuns, for a test period before becoming a full member.
用法パターン：
a novice in [a religious order]
よくある間違い：
Learners may confuse this religious meaning with the general sense of *"beginner"*. In religious contexts, *"novice"* is a specific role or stage, not just any beginner. Also, it is always a person, not a place or a building.
類義語
trainee (General word for someone in training; less specific and not limited to religious life.)
|
postulant (More technical and often used for an earlier stage than a novice in some religious traditions.)
対義語
monk (A fully accepted male member of a monastic community, contrasting with a novice who is still in training.)
|
nun (A fully accepted female member of a religious community, in contrast to a novice nun still in her trial period.)

beginner-level competitor or event
In sports or races, a beginner competitor or a race only for beginners.
用法パターン：
a novice [race/class/division]
よくある間違い：
Learners may think *"novice"* here only means a person, but it can also describe a class, division, or event restricted to beginners (e.g., *"novice race"*). It is also more formal than *"rookie"*, which is mainly used in everyday talk about team sports.
類義語
rookie (Informal; common in team sports like baseball or basketball; focuses on the player rather than the event class.)
|
beginner class (Clear, descriptive phrase; less formal-sounding than *"novice class"* in official rules.)
対義語
professional (A top-level or paid competitor, contrasted with a novice who is at the starting level.)
|
elite (The highest-level category in a sport, the opposite end of the scale from novice categories.)
