small medicine container (pill)
A small soft case you swallow that has medicine inside.
استعمال کا انداز:
to take [a] capsule
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "capsule" for any kind of medicine, even liquids or large tablets. Use "capsule" only when the medicine is in a small shell (often gelatin) that you swallow whole. For other solid medicine, "pill" or "tablet" is usually better.
ہم معنی الفاظ
pill (More general word for a small solid dose of medicine; does not imply a soft shell filled with powder or liquid.)
متضاد الفاظ
liquid medicine (Refers to medicine taken as a drink, not in a small solid container you swallow whole.)

متضاد الفاظ
open container (A container that is not sealed and does not fully enclose or protect its contents.)

very short summary
A very short text or talk that only gives the main ideas.
استعمال کا انداز:
a capsule [summary/review/biography] of [something]

ہم معنی الفاظ
summary (General word for a shorter version; does not always carry the idea of being very brief and compact like "capsule".)
متضاد الفاظ

crew or reentry part of spacecraft
The small closed part of a spaceship where people or things travel, usually the part that comes back to Earth.
استعمال کا انداز:
a [crew/space/reentry] capsule
عام غلطی:
Learners may use "spacecraft" or "rocket" when they specifically mean the small part where the astronauts sit or which returns to Earth. "Capsule" is that enclosed section, not the whole rocket.
ہم معنی الفاظ
spacecraft (A more general term for any vehicle in space; does not specifically mean the small enclosed returning section.)
متضاد الفاظ
space station (A large, long-term structure in space, opposite in size and purpose to a small returning capsule.)

protective outer biological layer
A thin outer cover around a body part, joint, cell, or tiny organism that protects it.
استعمال کا انداز:
the [joint/renal/bacterial] capsule
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse this medical or biological meaning with the medicine-pill sense. In this technical sense, a "capsule" is a natural covering in the body or in microorganisms, not something you swallow.
ہم معنی الفاظ
membrane (A general word for a thin layer; not all membranes are full enclosing sacs like a capsule.)
متضاد الفاظ
core (Refers to the inner part of a structure, in contrast to the outer protective covering.)

brief and self-contained
Short and small, with only the most important parts included.
استعمال کا انداز:
a capsule [review/biography/wardrobe/collection]

Learners may think "capsule" here still means something physical like a pill. In phrases like "capsule review" or "capsule wardrobe", it describes something very small and complete in itself, not a container.
ہم معنی الفاظ
concise (Emphasizes being brief in language; "capsule" more strongly suggests being compact and self-contained as a whole unit.)
متضاد الفاظ
detailed (Includes many parts and lots of information, opposite of short and limited to essentials.)
