the act of fixing a mistake

A change that makes something right or free of mistakes.

استعمال کا انداز: to make [a] correction to [something]

system of punishment and rehabilitation

The system of jails, prisons, and programs that punish and try to change people who commit crimes.

استعمال کا انداز: the system of correction for [offenders/criminals]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse *correction* in this sense with simple *punishment*. In law and government, *correction* usually includes both punishment and efforts to change behavior (education, treatment, supervision). The term often appears in fixed phrases like *correction system*, *correctional facility*, or *Department of Corrections*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
rehabilitation (Stresses helping offenders change rather than the punishing side of correction.) | penal system (More technical/legal; focuses more on punishment than on behavior change.)
متضاد الفاظ
leniency (Describes a soft or mild response to crime, the opposite of strong correction.)

A short, normal fall in stock or other market prices after they went up too fast.

استعمال کا انداز: a market correction in [stocks/housing/etc.]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think a *correction* always means something went wrong. In finance, it often describes a normal, expected move down after prices rose too high, and is not always seen as negative.
ہم معنی الفاظ
downturn (More general for a period of economic decline; not always seen as normal or healthy like a correction often is.)
متضاد الفاظ
rally (A quick rise in prices, opposite in direction to a correction.)

ہم معنی الفاظ
adjustment (General term; may refer to any change, not just a precise numeric one used in calculations.)
متضاد الفاظ
raw value (Refers to the uncorrected measurement before any corrections are applied.)
