Non-elected government administrator

A person who works in the government office system, doing administrative work but not making laws or winning elections.

استعمال کا انداز: a bureaucrat in [a government department/agency]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'bureaucrat' (a person) with 'bureaucracy' (the system or organization) and 'bureaucratic' (an adjective). For example, they may say *'the bureaucrat of our country is very slow'* when they mean 'the bureaucracy of our country is very slow'.

متضاد الفاظ

Rule-obsessed, obstructive official

An office worker, usually in government, who follows every rule very strictly and makes things slow and difficult for people.

استعمال کا انداز: a [petty/faceless] bureaucrat who [does something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think 'bureaucrat' is always negative. In fact, it can be neutral in meaning 1, but in many news stories and conversations it has this critical sense of being rule-obsessed and unhelpful. Context usually shows which sense is intended.
ہم معنی الفاظ
paper-pusher (Informal and clearly negative; focuses on doing pointless paperwork rather than being helpful.) | jobsworth (British informal; strongly critical of someone who refuses to be flexible because 'it's more than my job's worth'.)
متضاد الفاظ
problem-solver (Describes someone who focuses on finding practical solutions rather than blocking action with rules and procedures.)
