Non-fiction film or TV program

A movie, TV show, or radio show that gives true information about real people or events, not a made-up story.

استعمال کا انداز: a documentary about [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse “documentary” with “documentation.” “Documentary” is a film, TV, or radio program; “documentation” means written records or papers. Example mistake: *I need to send the documentary for my visa* (correct: *documentation*). Learners may also say *a documentary movie* redundantly, where just *a documentary* or *a documentary film* is more natural.

Based on written documents

Made of or based on written papers, records, or other documents, usually in law or history.

استعمال کا انداز: documentary [noun]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think this adjective always refers to films, as in *documentary evidence is a video*. Here, “documentary” means “in written or recorded documents,” not “like a documentary film.” It is mainly used before nouns such as *evidence*, *sources*, and *record* in formal contexts.
ہم معنی الفاظ
written (General word for something in writing; “documentary” is more formal and suggests official or supporting documents.)
متضاد الفاظ
oral (Describes evidence or information given by speaking, not supported by written documents, which contrasts with documentary evidence.)
