clearly different and recognizable

Easy to see as different from other things, so that you can recognize it quickly.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] has a distinctive [feature/quality/style]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "different" when "distinctive" is better. "Different" just means not the same, while "distinctive" means clearly different in a way that makes something easy to recognize. They also confuse "distinctive" with "unique"; "unique" means one of a kind, but "distinctive" does not always mean that strong.

characteristic (Very close in meaning; slightly more formal and often used for typical features of a group or thing.) | unique (Stronger; suggests one of a kind, while "distinctive" means clearly different but not necessarily the only one.)
متضاد الفاظ
ordinary (Describes something that does not stand out or seem different in any clear way.) | indistinct (Focuses on being unclear or hard to recognize, the opposite of being clearly noticeable.)

marking contrast in linguistics

In linguistics, describing a sound or feature that changes the meaning of a word when it is different.

استعمال کا انداز: a distinctive [feature/sound/contrast] in [phonology]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think "distinctive feature" in linguistics just means a feature that looks special. In this technical use, it specifically means a sound property that changes meaning, not just any noticeable feature.
ہم معنی الفاظ
contrastive (Technical term in linguistics with almost the same meaning; often preferred in academic writing.)
متضاد الفاظ
redundant (In phonology, refers to a feature that does not distinguish meaning and is therefore not distinctive.)
