person who weaves cloth or fabric
A person who makes cloth or fabric by crossing threads over and under each other, usually as a job.
Padron ng paggamit:
[someone] works as a weaver
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "weaver" with the verb "wave" or the noun "waver" because they sound similar. "Weaver" is always a person (or occasionally an animal species) that weaves; it is not a verb and it is not related to moving the hand side to side.
Mga kasingkahulugan
textile worker (Broader term for anyone who works with textiles, not only those who weave.)
|
loom operator (Emphasizes operating a machine in a factory rather than handcraft weaving.)
|
artisan (Highlights skilled, often traditional, manual work; not limited to weaving.)
Mga kasalungat
mass-producer (Contrasts small-scale, hands-on craft work with large-scale, automated production.)

person who skillfully creates stories
A person who is very good at making rich, complex stories or ideas by putting many parts together.
Padron ng paggamit:
a weaver of [stories/dreams/lies]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may not realize that "weaver" here is metaphorical. It does not mean the person works with cloth; it means they combine many elements of a story or idea in a careful way.
Mga kasingkahulugan
storyteller (More common and direct; does not always suggest the same level of complexity or craft in combining many elements.)
|
narrator (Focuses on the role of telling a story, not necessarily on carefully constructing it.)
Mga kasalungat
literalist (Someone who sticks to plain facts and avoids imaginative or complex constructions.)

weaverbird (Alternative spelling; refers to the same group of birds.)
Mga kasalungat
seabird (Contrasts a land-based, nest-weaving songbird with birds that live mainly at sea and typically do not weave nests.)
