person who respects or approves
A person who likes or respects someone or something very much.
Padrão de uso:
an admirer of [someone/something]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes think "admirer" always means a romantic lover. In sentences like "I am an admirer of her music," it usually means you respect or enjoy someone’s work, not that you are in love. Also, do not confuse "admirer" (a person) with "admire" (the verb).
Sinônimos
fan (Often suggests enthusiastic support, especially for celebrities, sports teams, or artists, and can sound more informal.)
|
supporter (Focuses on giving help or approval, especially in public or professional contexts, rather than just personal liking.)
Antônimos
critic (A critic judges or points out faults instead of showing strong approval or respect.)

person with romantic admiration
A person who likes someone in a romantic way and admires them, often quietly or secretly.
Padrão de uso:
a (secret) admirer of [someone]

Sinônimos
suitor (More formal and traditional; usually describes someone who is actively trying to build a romantic relationship, often used for men in older or formal contexts.)
|
love interest (Focuses on the romantic attraction itself, not necessarily on admiration or respect.)
