Flat cutting part of tool or weapon
The flat, thin, sharp part of a tool or weapon that cuts things.
వాడుక నమూనా:
the blade of [a tool/weapon]

Knife used as a weapon
A knife or other sharp weapon that a person carries, often for fighting.
వాడుక నమూనా:
[someone] carries a blade
సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners may confuse this with the normal, non-weapon sense of "blade" (the cutting part of a tool). In crime or street contexts, "a blade" often means the whole knife as a weapon.
పర్యాయపదాలు
knife (The general word for this object; "blade" in this sense is more informal and often suggests an illegal weapon.)
విరుద్ధపదాలు
firearm (A weapon that fires bullets, often contrasted with knives or other blade-type weapons.)

Flat part of fan or propeller
The flat part of a machine, like a fan or propeller, that turns and pushes air, water, or something else.
వాడుక నమూనా:
the blade of [a machine/tool]

Learners sometimes think this only means something that cuts. In machines like fans or turbines, the blade’s main job is to move air or water, not to cut.
పర్యాయపదాలు
rotor blade (A more specific term for a blade on a rotating part such as a helicopter rotor or turbine.)
విరుద్ధపదాలు
hub (The central part of a rotating machine that the blades are attached to, opposite in position to the blade.)

One thin, narrow leaf of grass or a similar plant.

leaf (General word; a blade of grass is a special long, narrow type of leaf.)
