having a medical allergy

Having a health problem where your body reacts badly to something, like food, animals, or medicine.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: be allergic to [something]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes say *"I have allergic to peanuts"*. The correct structure is *"I am allergic to peanuts"* or *"I have an allergy to peanuts"*. Also, *"I am allergy to"* is incorrect; use the adjective *allergic*, not the noun *allergy*, after *am/is/are*.
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
sensitive (Can describe reacting badly to something, but is broader and not always a medical allergy.) | hypersensitive (More technical; often used in medical contexts for very strong reactions.) | intolerant (Often used for foods (e.g. lactose intolerant) and may suggest digestive problems rather than an immune reaction.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
tolerant (Describes someone whose body can accept a substance without a bad reaction.) | not allergic (Plain opposite that simply states the absence of an allergy.)

strongly disliking something

Really not liking something and trying to stay away from it, often said as a joke.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: be allergic to [something]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners may think this always means a real medical problem. In contexts like *"allergic to hard work"* or *"allergic to change"*, it is figurative and means the person strongly dislikes or avoids these things. It should not be used in serious medical situations as a joke unless the context is clearly informal.
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
averse (More formal; suggests a strong dislike or desire to avoid something.) | cannot stand (Spoken and informal; focuses more on strong dislike than avoidance.) | hostile to (Stronger and more emotional; suggests active opposition rather than just avoidance.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
fond of (Describes liking or enjoying something instead of disliking it.) | keen on (Informal; means very interested in or enthusiastic about something.)
ਸ਼ਬਦ-ਜੋੜ
allergic to responsibility |allergic to commitment |allergic to hard work |allergic to change

caused by an allergy

Describing a reaction or health problem that happens because of an allergy.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: allergic [reaction/symptoms/response] to [something]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes confuse *"allergic"* with general *"sick"* or *"ill"*. An *allergic reaction* is a specific medical response caused by an allergen, not just any bad feeling or illness.
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
atopic (Technical medical term often used for allergy-related conditions like dermatitis or asthma.) | hypersensitivity (Usually a noun; refers to an excessive immune response, often used in medical writing instead of 'allergic'.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
non-allergic (Used in medicine to show that a reaction or condition is not caused by an allergy.)
