low-ranking military officer
A low-ranking officer in the army or air force, higher than a private but lower than a sergeant.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] is a corporal in [a military unit]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "corporal" with other military ranks like "colonel" or "captain." "Corporal" is a relatively low rank, usually just above private. Also, the pronunciation is /ˈkɔːrprəl/, not *co-RO-ral*.
