fabric material used to make things

Material like cotton or wool that is used to make clothes, bags, and other things.

वापर नमुना: [someone] buys [cloth] to make [something]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes say *a cloth* when they mean the material in general. Use *cloth* without *a* for the material (e.g., *This dress is made of soft cloth*, not *of a soft cloth*). They also confuse *cloth* (material) with *clothes* (things you wear).
समानार्थी शब्द
fabric (Slightly more general and technical; used in fashion, design, and industry as well as everyday speech.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
metal (A hard, rigid material, contrasted with soft, flexible cloth used for making garments and coverings.)

वापर नमुना: [someone] wipes [something] with a cloth
सामान्य चूक:

समानार्थी शब्द
rag (Often suggests an old or worn-out piece of cloth, sometimes dirtier or more casual than a regular cleaning cloth.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
sponge (A different type of cleaning tool made of porous material, contrasted with a flat piece of cloth.)

वापर नमुना: [someone] joins the cloth
सामान्य चूक:
Learners may misunderstand *the cloth* as a literal piece of fabric instead of a formal way to talk about priests and ministers. The meaning is usually clear only from context and is most often seen with *the* (e.g., *the cloth*, *men of the cloth*).
समानार्थी शब्द
clergy (The standard modern term; *the cloth* is more literary or formal and often slightly old‑fashioned.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
laity (Refers to ordinary believers who are not members of the clergy, the usual contrast to *the cloth* or *the clergy*.)
