Corak penggunaan:
[something] is bureaucratic
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes confuse "bureaucratic" (adjective) with "bureaucracy" (noun). Use "bureaucratic" before a noun (e.g., "bureaucratic process"), and "bureaucracy" as a thing by itself (e.g., "The bureaucracy is slow").
Sinonim
administrative (Focuses on managing an organization or government; often sounds slightly more neutral and less focused on complex rules than "bureaucratic.")
Antonim

Corak penggunaan:
a bureaucratic [process/procedure/system/requirement]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes use "bureaucratic" when they only mean "official" or "government". "Bureaucratic" usually has a negative meaning, suggesting that there are too many rules and that things are slow or difficult, not just that they are official.
Sinonim
overly complicated (Highlights the unnecessary complexity, while "bureaucratic" specifically suggests that the complexity comes from official rules and procedures.)
Antonim
streamlined (Describes a process that is designed to be simple and fast, the opposite of a slow, bureaucratic way of doing things.)
