1

create a model of something

To make an artificial copy of how something works or happens, often using a computer, so you can study or practice it.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: to simulate [process/situation]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners sometimes confuse "simulate" with "stimulate". "Simulate" means to copy or recreate how something happens (e.g. "simulate an accident"), while "stimulate" means to cause something to become more active or to grow (e.g. "stimulate the economy"). Also, do not use "as" after "simulate": say "simulate a conversation", not "simulate as a conversation".
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
model (Often used in technical contexts for building a mathematical or computer representation of a system; very close in meaning when talking about systems and processes.)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
observe (Focuses on watching what really happens in the real world instead of using an artificial or computer-made copy.)
ਸ਼ਬਦ-ਜੋੜ

pretend to feel or be something

To act as if you feel or are something when this is not true, usually to trick other people.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: to simulate [emotion/state]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners often use "pretend" instead of "simulate" in all situations. "Pretend" is more common in everyday speech, especially with people (e.g. children pretending). "Simulate" is more formal and is often used in written or formal spoken English, especially in legal, medical, or academic contexts (e.g. "to simulate illness").
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
feign (A formal word that almost always means to pretend to have a feeling or condition, so it is very close in meaning to this sense of "simulate".)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
genuinely feel (Emphasizes that the emotion or state is real and honest, not acted or pretended.)
ਸ਼ਬਦ-ਜੋੜ
simulate interest |simulate concern |simulate illness |simulate enthusiasm |simulate surprise
ਵਿਸ਼ੇ
emotions |communication

copy the look or effect of something

To make something that looks or seems like something else, but is not really that thing.

ਵਰਤੋਂ ਦਾ ਢਾਂਚਾ: to simulate [material/appearance/effect]
ਆਮ ਗਲਤੀ:
Learners may choose "look like" or "be like" instead of "simulate". These are correct but less formal. Use "simulate" when you want to sound more technical or precise, especially for materials, light, or visual effects.
ਸਮਾਨਾਰਥਕ ਸ਼ਬਦ
imitate (A general word meaning to copy how something looks or behaves; less formal and more widely used than "simulate".)
ਵਿਲੋਮ ਸ਼ਬਦ
differ from (Highlights that one thing looks clearly unlike another, rather than copying its appearance or effect.)
