The sport of jumping into water from a high board or platform, sometimes doing turns or flips.
Vartosenos šablonas:
to do/go/win [diving]
Dažna klaida:
Learners sometimes confuse "diving" with "swimming" and say *"I like diving in the sea"* when they mean general swimming. Use "diving" when there is a clear jump into the water from a height or a sport context, and "swimming" for moving through water.
Sinonimai
springboard diving (More specific; refers to diving from a flexible board rather than all types of diving.)
Antonimai
swimming (Contrasts with simply moving through water rather than jumping or performing acrobatics into it.)

Sinonimai
plunging (Suggests a sudden, often less controlled movement downwards; can be used in more contexts than "diving.")
Antonimai
rising (Describes upward movement, opposite to the downward movement of diving.)

Sinonimai

In sports, when a player falls on purpose and acts hurt to make the referee give a foul or penalty.
Vartosenos šablonas:

Dažna klaida:
Learners may confuse this with literal diving into water. In a sports context without water, "diving" usually means pretending to fall to get a foul.
Sinonimai
simulation (Technical term used in some sports rules; sounds more formal and less conversational than "diving.")
Antonimai
fair play (Represents honest, non-deceptive behavior, the opposite of pretending to be fouled.)
