اسم B2 property

quality of staying the same

When a person or thing does something in the same way every time, without big changes.

استعمال کا انداز: the consistency of [something] / consistency in [doing something]

عام غلطی:

Learners sometimes confuse "consistency" (noun) with "consistent" (adjective). For example, they may say *"He has very consistent"* instead of *"He is very consistent"* or *"He has a lot of consistency in his work."* Also, some learners wrongly use the rare word *"consistence" instead of "consistency" in this sense.

ہم معنی الفاظ

uniformity (Emphasizes everything being the same across many cases, often more formal.) | steadiness (Focuses more on not changing or stopping, especially in effort or behavior.)

متضاد الفاظ

inconsistency (General opposite; describes behavior or actions that change in a confusing or irregular way.) | unreliability (Stresses that someone or something cannot be depended on to act the same way each time.)

اسم B1 property

thickness/texture of a substance

How thick or thin a liquid or soft food is, and how it feels when you touch or mix it.

استعمال کا انداز: the consistency of [food / liquid / mixture]

عام غلطی:

Learners sometimes use only "texture" for food and do not realize that "consistency" is very common when talking about sauces, soups, and other mixtures. Another mistake is using it for hard objects, where words like "surface" or "texture" are more natural than "consistency."

ہم معنی الفاظ

texture (Broader term for how something feels; not always about thickness, but often used similarly with food.) | thickness (Focuses directly on how thick or thin the substance is, without suggesting smoothness or feel.)

متضاد الفاظ

runny (Describes a liquid that is too thin and flows too easily, often when a thicker consistency is desired.) | lumpy (Describes a mixture with unwanted solid pieces, the opposite of a smooth or even consistency.)

اسم formal C1 property

lack of contradiction in ideas

When facts, ideas, or rules all fit together and do not say opposite things.

استعمال کا انداز: the consistency of [an argument / a theory / data] / consistency between [two things]

عام غلطی:

Learners may use only "logic" or "sense" and not realize that "consistency" is the precise word for ideas that do not conflict. Also, they sometimes say *"consistency with each other"* awkwardly; more natural is "consistency between X and Y" or "consistency with X."

ہم معنی الفاظ

coherence (Highlights clear, well-connected ideas; often used for writing or arguments.) | alignment (Emphasizes different parts matching or supporting each other, especially in business or policy contexts.)

متضاد الفاظ

contradiction (Direct clash where one statement cannot be true if another is true.) | incompatibility (Describes things that cannot work or be true together, so they lack consistency.)

اسم B2 property

regularly similar level of performance

When a person or team performs well again and again, not just one time.

استعمال کا انداز: consistency in [performance / results] / show consistency in [doing something]

عام غلطی:

Learners may use only "good" or "strong" to describe performance over time and forget that "consistency" is about being at a similar level again and again. They also sometimes say *"He is very consistency"* instead of *"He has great consistency"* or *"He is very consistent."*

ہم معنی الفاظ

reliability (Focuses on being dependable; often used more generally, not only about performance level.) | stability (Highlights not changing much over time, sometimes more about conditions than about a person's performance.)

متضاد الفاظ

streakiness (Informal sports term for performance that goes up and down a lot instead of staying steady.) | fluctuation (Emphasizes frequent changes in level or results instead of steady performance.)
