1
happening at the same time
Happening or existing at the same time as something else.
Модель употребления:
[event/thing] is concurrent with [event/thing]; concurrent [event/activity/use]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes confuse "concurrent" with "consecutive". "Concurrent" means at the same time, while "consecutive" means one after another. They also sometimes write *"current"* when they mean *"concurrent";* "current" just means "now" or "present."
Синонимы
simultaneous (Slightly more formal; very close in meaning, often interchangeable in most contexts.)
|
coinciding (Emphasizes two things happening at the same time, often by chance.)
Антонимы
separate (Suggests things do not happen or exist at the same time or together.)

2
handling multiple tasks at once
Used about computer systems or services that let many tasks or users work at the same time.
Модель употребления:
concurrent [users/processes/sessions/requests]
Частая ошибка:
Learners sometimes think "concurrent users" means all registered users. It actually means the number of users using the system at the same time. It is also sometimes confused with "parallel" in programming, which can be a narrower idea of tasks truly running at the same moment on different cores.
Синонимы
parallel (In computing, often suggests tasks truly running at the same time, sometimes on different processors; "concurrent" can also include tasks that are interleaved rather than strictly parallel.)
Антонимы
sequential (Describes tasks that happen one after another rather than at the same time.)

3
legal: running at same time
Used in law to say that a punishment, power, or right happens at the same time as another one, not after it.
Модель употребления:
concurrent [sentence/jurisdiction/powers]
Частая ошибка:
Learners often confuse "concurrent" with "consecutive" when talking about prison sentences. "Concurrent" means served at the same time; "consecutive" means one after another and usually results in more total time.
Синонимы
overlapping (General word for things covering the same period; "concurrent" is the precise legal term, especially for sentences and jurisdictions.)
Антонимы
consecutive (In legal contexts, describes sentences or terms that follow one after another, not at the same time.)

meeting at one point (math)
Used in math and physics to say that lines or forces meet at one point.
Модель употребления:
concurrent [lines/forces/vectors]
Частая ошибка:
Learners may think "concurrent lines" simply means lines that cross somewhere. It actually means three or more lines all meet at the same single point.
Синонимы
intersecting (General word for crossing; "concurrent" is more specific and means all meet at the same single point.)
Антонимы
parallel (Parallel lines or forces never meet, which is the opposite of being concurrent.)
