protective bar on a vehicle
A bar on the front or back of a car or truck that helps protect it if there is a small crash.
استعمال کا انداز:
the bumper of [a vehicle]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "bumper" with "fender." In American English, "fender" usually means the body panel over a wheel, while "bumper" is the bar at the very front or back of the vehicle.
ہم معنی الفاظ
fender (In some varieties of English, especially American, can loosely refer to the front bumper area, but more strictly means the panel above a wheel.)
متضاد الفاظ
unprotected (Describes a vehicle front or rear with no protective bar or guard.)

unusually large or successful
Used before a noun to say that there is much more of something than usual, or that something is very successful.
استعمال کا انداز:
a bumper [year/crop/profit/payout/audience/etc.]

ہم معنی الفاظ
huge (A very general word for great size or amount; "bumper" is used more specifically before nouns related to quantity, money, or success.)
|
record (Suggests the best or largest ever; "bumper" suggests very large or successful, but not necessarily the absolute best in history.)
متضاد الفاظ
poor (A common opposite when talking about harvests, years, or results that are smaller or worse than expected.)
