Not harmed or changed by something

Not easily damaged or changed by something, like water, heat, or scratches.

వాడుక నమూనా: [something] is resistant to [something]
సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners often say "resistant against" instead of the more natural "resistant to" (for example, "The material is resistant to water," not "resistant against water"). They may also confuse "resistant" (adjective) with "resistance" (noun).

విరుద్ధపదాలు

Opposed or unwilling to accept

Not wanting to accept an idea or change; fighting against it.

వాడుక నమూనా: [someone] is resistant to [something]
సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners sometimes confuse "resistant" with "hesitant." "Resistant" suggests stronger, more active opposition, while "hesitant" suggests only slow or unsure action. They also sometimes say "resistant for change" instead of the correct "resistant to change."
పర్యాయపదాలు
reluctant (Suggests hesitation or not being eager, often softer and less active than "resistant.") | opposed (Implies clear disagreement or being against something, sometimes stronger or more direct than "resistant.") | unwilling (Highlights a lack of desire to do something, without necessarily suggesting active opposition.)
విరుద్ధపదాలు
open (Describes someone ready to consider new ideas or changes.) | receptive (Emphasizes being willing to listen to and accept new ideas or suggestions.)

Not affected by a drug or chemical

In medicine or science, not easily killed or controlled by a drug, chemical, or disease.

వాడుక నమూనా: [organism or cells] are resistant to [drug/chemical]
సాధారణ తప్పు:
Learners sometimes mistakenly say the drug is "resistant" instead of the organism or cells (for example, it is correct to say "bacteria are resistant to the drug," not "the drug is resistant"). They may also miss the technical contrast between "resistant" and "sensitive" in lab reports.
పర్యాయపదాలు
unresponsive (Used in medical contexts to mean that a patient or condition does not improve when treated with a drug.) | non-susceptible (Technical term emphasizing that an organism is not easily affected by a disease or agent.)
విరుద్ధపదాలు
sensitive (In technical use, means easily affected, controlled, or killed by a drug or chemical.) | susceptible (Indicates that an organism or condition is easily affected or harmed by a particular agent.)
