woman in a religious order
A woman who gives her life to religion, usually lives in a special house with other women, and follows strict religious rules.
वापर नमुना:
[someone] becomes a nun
सामान्य चूक:
Learners sometimes confuse "nun" with "none" because they sound similar. "Nun" is a religious woman, while "none" means zero or not any (e.g., "I have none left"). Some learners also think "nun" only refers to Catholic women, but it can be used for women in other religions, such as a Buddhist nun.
समानार्थी शब्द
sister (Often used as a form of address for a nun, especially in Christian contexts; can also refer more generally to a woman in a female religious community.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
layperson (A person who is not a member of the clergy or a religious order, the opposite of someone who has taken religious vows.)

fourteenth Hebrew alphabet letter
The name of the 14th letter in the Hebrew alphabet, written נ or ן.
वापर नमुना:
the Hebrew letter nun
सामान्य चूक:
Learners may not realize that "nun" can be a letter name as well as a religious woman. The pronunciation is the same, so only the context shows whether it is the Hebrew letter or a religious person.
समानार्थी शब्द
letter נ (Refers directly to the written symbol instead of its spoken name.)

red conical navigation buoy
A red, cone-shaped floating marker used on water in North America to show the right-hand side of a safe boat channel when you sail in from the sea.
वापर नमुना:
a nun buoy in [a channel]
सामान्य चूक:
Learners may think "nun" here refers to a religious woman on a boat. In nautical English, a "nun buoy" is only a type of red, cone-shaped navigation marker and has no connection to religion.
समानार्थी शब्द
starboard-hand buoy (A more general nautical term; not all starboard-hand buoys are necessarily cone-shaped "nun" buoys in the North American system.)
विरुद्धार्थी शब्द
can buoy (A green, usually cylindrical buoy that marks the port side of a channel, functionally opposite to a red nun buoy in North American systems.)
