related to leisure activities
Describes things that are for fun and free-time, not for work or serious business.
Corak penggunaan:
recreational [activity/facility/area/sport]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes use *recreational* to describe a person (e.g., *I am recreational*), which is incorrect. Use it before a noun instead (e.g., *recreational activities*, *recreational center*). Another mistake is using *recreational time* instead of more natural phrases like *free time* or *leisure time*.
Sinonim
leisure (Often used before nouns (leisure activities, leisure time); slightly broader and more about free time in general.)
Antonim
work-related (Emphasizes connection to one's job or duties, not to free-time enjoyment.)

relating to non-medical drug use
Used about drugs that people take for fun, not because a doctor says they need them.
Corak penggunaan:
recreational [drugs/drug use/cannabis/marijuana]
Kesilapan biasa:
Learners sometimes think *recreational* here means the drugs are legal or safe, but it only means they are taken for pleasure, not for medical reasons. It does not say anything by itself about legality or safety.
Sinonim
non-medical (More technical and often used in official or academic contexts; focuses on the absence of medical purpose without highlighting pleasure.)
Antonim
medicinal (Describes drugs used for treating illness or symptoms under medical guidance, the opposite of pleasure-only use.)
