thing given up in compromise

Something you give or allow to another person or group to help end an argument or problem.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] makes a concession to [someone] on [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'concession' with 'confession'. A 'concession' is something you give or allow to others, especially in a negotiation. A 'confession' is when you admit you did something wrong. Learners may also think 'concession' only means a discount; in many contexts it means a broader compromise.
ہم معنی الفاظ
compromise (Often suggests both sides give something up; 'concession' can be one-sided and can sound more reluctant.)

special discount or tax break

A lower price or lower tax that some people can pay, for example students or older people.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] gets a concession on [ticket/tax/fee]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use 'concession' for any kind of cheap price. It is usually used when the lower price is linked to a special status, such as being a student or a pensioner, or in phrases like 'tax concession'. For a general lower price, 'discount' or 'sale price' is more natural.
ہم معنی الفاظ
discount (More general and common in all varieties of English; 'concession' is often used in official or British/Australian English for special group discounts.)
متضاد الفاظ
surcharge (An extra cost added to the usual price, the opposite of a price reduction or concession.)

ہم معنی الفاظ
