اسم B1 state
1

needing someone or something for support

A state where a person, group, or thing needs someone or something else to live, work, or act in a normal way.

استعمال کا انداز: dependence on [something/someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "dependence" (noun) with the verb "depend" and with the noun "dependency". Use "dependence" after prepositions like "on" or "of": "dependence on technology", not "depend on technology" (verb) and not "dependence of technology" in this meaning. "Dependency" is more common in technical, medical, or legal contexts and for places (e.g., "a British dependency").
ہم معنی الفاظ
reliance (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal and often used for systems or processes as well as people.) | need (More basic and emotional; less about ongoing support structures and more about a strong requirement.) | trust (Focuses on confidence in someone rather than on practical or financial support.)
متضاد الفاظ
independence (Describes not needing support from others, especially financially or practically.) | self-sufficiency (Emphasizes being able to provide everything needed without outside help.)

addiction or strong need for a substance

A state where a person feels they must use a drug, alcohol, or do something again and again, and it is very hard to stop.

استعمال کا انداز: dependence on [a drug/alcohol/substance]
عام غلطی:
Learners often use only "addiction" and do not recognize that "dependence" is common in medical or formal writing: "alcohol dependence", "opioid dependence". Some say "dependence to a drug" instead of the correct "dependence on a drug".
ہم معنی الفاظ
addiction (More common in everyday speech and often sounds more serious or emotional; "dependence" can sound slightly more medical or technical.) | habit (Much weaker; can be neutral and does not always suggest loss of control or withdrawal symptoms.)
متضاد الفاظ
sobriety (Specifically the state of not using alcohol or drugs, often after a period of dependence.) | abstinence (Emphasizes choosing not to use a substance or engage in a behavior at all.)

being under another's control or influence

A state where a person, group, or country cannot act freely because it needs or is controlled by another person, group, or country.

استعمال کا انداز: dependence on [a person/group/country]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use only "control" or "power" and miss the idea of ongoing need in "dependence". Another common error is the preposition: say "dependence on foreign aid", not "dependence of foreign aid".
ہم معنی الفاظ
subordination (More formal; emphasizes lower status or power in a hierarchy.) | vulnerability (Focuses on the risk and weakness caused by dependence, rather than the controlling side.)
متضاد الفاظ
autonomy (Stresses the power to make decisions without outside control.) | sovereignty (Used mainly for states or nations; full political independence.)

statistical or mathematical relationship

In mathematics and statistics, a situation where one number or thing changes when another number or thing changes.

استعمال کا انداز: dependence between [variables/factors]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse the everyday sense of "dependence" with this technical, statistical sense. In technical writing, "dependence" often appears with words like "variable", "function", or "correlation"; pay attention to these clues. Another error is using the verb "depend" in purely noun slots: write "the dependence of Y on X" rather than "the depend of Y on X".
ہم معنی الفاظ
correlation (Common in statistics; often used when describing how strongly two variables move together, though technically not identical.) | relationship (Very general term; less precise than "dependence" in mathematical or statistical writing.)
متضاد الفاظ
independence (In statistics and mathematics, describes variables or events that do not affect each other.)
