unfairly treating groups differently

Treating people in an unfair way because they belong to a certain group, like a race, sex, or age group.

استعمال کا انداز: discriminatory [law/practice/policy] toward [group]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "discriminatory" (adjective) with "discrimination" (noun) and "discriminate" (verb). For example, they might say *"This is a discrimination law"* instead of *"This is a discriminatory law"*, or *"The company is discriminatory women"* instead of *"The company discriminates against women."* Another common mistake is using it in everyday casual contexts where a simpler word like "unfair" would be more natural.

able to separate or tell apart

Able to clearly tell the difference between similar things, especially in tests, tools, or systems.

استعمال کا انداز: a discriminatory [test/tool/measure] between [category A] and [category B]
عام غلطی:
Learners may misunderstand this technical sense and assume it always means "unfair" in a social or legal way. In scientific or testing contexts, however, "discriminatory" can be positive or neutral, meaning that a tool, test, or method can clearly tell things apart. It is also easy to confuse with "discriminative" or "discriminating," which are sometimes preferred in technical writing.
ہم معنی الفاظ

متضاد الفاظ
non-specific (Describes a test or measure that does not clearly distinguish between different categories.) | indiscriminate (Suggests a lack of careful distinction or selection between different things.)
