1
avoid a person, rule, or system
to avoid a person, rule, or system and do something in a different way from the normal way
Padron ng paggamit:
to bypass [a rule / a person / a system]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "bypass" with "pass by". "Bypass" means to avoid something, often on purpose, usually to reach your goal more quickly (e.g., "bypass the rules"). "Pass by" usually means simply to go past something without the idea of avoiding a system or rule (e.g., "We passed by the museum").
Mga kasingkahulugan
circumvent (more formal; often used in legal, technical, or bureaucratic contexts.)
|
sidestep (slightly informal and often suggests avoiding responsibility or a difficult issue.)
Mga kasalungat
obey (means to follow rules or authority rather than avoiding them.)

go around a place or obstacle
to travel around a town or thing instead of going through it
Padron ng paggamit:
to bypass [a town / an area / traffic / congestion]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "bypass" when "pass by" is enough. Use "bypass" when you choose a different route to avoid a place ("We bypassed the town"), not just when you move past something normally ("We passed by the town").
Mga kasingkahulugan
go around (more informal and very general; does not strongly suggest roads or planned routes.)
Mga kasalungat
go through (means to pass inside or within a town or area instead of avoiding it.)

road around a town

Mga kasingkahulugan
ring road (often a road that goes all the way around a city, not just around one side.)
Mga kasalungat
main road (the central road, often going through the town instead of around it.)
