A person who fights with weapons against the government or those in power.
Kullanım kalıbı:
an insurgent in [a country/region]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes confuse "insurgent" (a person) with "insurgency" (the overall rebellion or uprising). Another mistake is thinking "insurgent" can be used as a verb; it is only a noun or adjective.

Describing people or groups who use weapons to fight the government, or the things they do.
Kullanım kalıbı:
insurgent [group/forces/movement/activity]
Sık yapılan hata:
Learners sometimes use another noun after "insurgent" with "of" (e.g. *"insurgent of group"*) instead of putting it directly before the noun ("insurgent group"). Remember that here "insurgent" is an adjective and should go directly before the noun it describes.
Eş anlamlılar
rebel (Often used before a noun in the same way (rebel forces, rebel fighters); slightly more general and common in everyday speech.)
|
militant (Stresses being aggressively active or violent for a cause; not always limited to fighting governments.)
Zıt anlamlılar
loyalist (As a modifier (loyalist forces), describes troops that support and defend the existing government.)
|
government (Used attributively (government forces, government troops) to describe forces that support the state rather than fight it.)
