person offering money at an auction

A person who says how much money they will pay to buy something in an auction.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is the highest bidder
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse “bidder” with “buyer.” A bidder is someone who is offering prices and may or may not win the item, while a buyer is someone who actually buys it. Some also mispronounce it as “bitter”; note the clear /d/ sound in the middle of “bidder.”
ہم معنی الفاظ
buyer (Means someone who purchases something; unlike “bidder,” it does not emphasize the act of competing by offering prices at an auction.) | participant (General term for someone taking part; here it can mean someone taking part in the bidding, but it does not specifically focus on offering prices.)
متضاد الفاظ
seller (A seller offers something for sale, while a bidder is trying to buy it by offering a price.) | spectator (A spectator only watches an auction and does not take part by making bids.)

company/person competing for a contract

A person or company that offers a price or plan to try to get a contract, project, or business deal.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone/something] is a bidder for [a contract/project/company]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this sense only applies to auctions. In business and news, a “bidder” often means a company trying to win a contract, project, or takeover, even when there is no public auction room.
ہم معنی الفاظ
contender (Stresses being in a competition; does not specifically refer to offering a price or proposal, as “bidder” does.) | tenderer (More technical and used mainly in public procurement, meaning someone who submits a formal tender; similar role but more formal than “bidder.”)
متضاد الفاظ
supplier (In many tender processes, a bidder hopes to become a supplier; before winning, they are a bidder, after winning, they are the supplier.) | nonparticipant (A nonparticipant is not taking part in the bidding process, while a bidder is actively competing.)

person competing for support or favor

A person who is trying hard to get support, power, or another important thing while other people are also trying to get it.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is a bidder for [support/power/attention]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think “bidder” can only be used with money. In news and formal writing it can also describe people competing for support, power, or attention, even when no money is offered.
ہم معنی الفاظ
aspirant (More formal; stresses desire and ambition for a position or honor, while “bidder” implies more active competition.) | seeker (Emphasizes looking for or wanting something; does not always imply direct competition as strongly as “bidder.”)
متضاد الفاظ
disinterested party (A disinterested party is not trying to gain anything, while a bidder is actively trying to get something.) | opponent (In some contexts, an opponent resists or blocks a goal that a bidder is trying to achieve.)
