1
cause a feeling or reaction
To make a feeling or reaction start or grow stronger in a person or group, especially interest, curiosity, anger, or suspicion.
استعمال کا انداز:
to arouse [emotion/feeling/reaction] in [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"arouse someone"* when they mean a nonsexual emotion, for example, *"The film aroused me"*. In this sense, *arouse* is usually followed by the feeling: *"The film aroused my interest"* or *"The film aroused anger in many people"., Learners may also overuse *arouse* in casual speech, where verbs like *make*, *cause*, or *spark* are more natural (e.g., *"The news made people angry"*).

|

2
cause sexual excitement
To make someone feel sexual desire or excitement.
استعمال کا انداز:
to arouse [someone] sexually / to arouse sexual desire in [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use this sexual sense when they only want to talk about general emotions, which can sound inappropriate. For neutral feelings like interest or curiosity, say *"arouse interest"* or just *"make people interested"*, not *"arouse people"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
excite (Can be sexual or nonsexual; in sexual contexts, often appears in phrases like "sexually excite.")
|

wake someone from sleep
To make someone wake up from sleep or from a very deep rest.
استعمال کا انداز:
to arouse [someone] from [sleep/a deep sleep]

ہم معنی الفاظ

|

stimulate someone to take action
To make a person or group active and ready to act, often in a social or political way.
استعمال کا انداز:
to arouse [someone/a group] to [action/protest]
عام غلطی:
Learners may not clearly distinguish between arousing a feeling (*arouse anger, arouse interest*) and arousing people to act (*arouse people to protest*). When you want to show that people actually do something, it is natural to add an action: *"arouse people to act"*, *"arouse them to protest"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
rouse (Very close in meaning; common in "rouse someone to action" or "rouse the crowd".)
|
mobilize (More technical/political; focuses on organizing people for action, not just emotionally stirring them.)
متضاد الفاظ
discourage (Means to make people less willing to act or continue; opposite of motivating them.)
