person very keen on something
A person who really loves an activity or subject and spends a lot of time on it.
استعمال کا انداز:
a [topic] enthusiast
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse the noun 'enthusiast' with the adjective 'enthusiastic'. Use 'enthusiast' as a noun for a person (e.g., 'She is a music enthusiast') and 'enthusiastic' before a noun or after 'be' as an adjective (e.g., 'She is enthusiastic about music'). Another mistake is saying '*He is enthusiast about football'; this is incorrect. Say 'He is an enthusiast of/for football' or 'He is enthusiastic about football'.

strong supporter of an idea
A person who strongly supports a new idea or change and is very excited about it.
استعمال کا انداز:
an enthusiast for [idea]
عام غلطی:
Learners may overuse the structure 'enthusiast of' in this sense. In modern English, 'enthusiast for' or 'enthusiast of' are both possible, but 'enthusiast for' is more common when talking about ideas or policies (e.g., 'an enthusiast for reform'). Also, do not use it as a verb in this sense; say 'He supports the plan', not '*He enthusiasts the plan'.

religious fanatic (archaic use)
(Old use) A person whose religious feelings are very strong and extreme.
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this older sense is common today. In modern English, 'enthusiast' is almost always positive and refers to strong interest or support, not religious madness or extremism. For modern use, prefer 'fanatic' or 'extremist' when this negative meaning is intended.
ہم معنی الفاظ
fanatic (Modern word for a person with extreme and often unreasonable beliefs or enthusiasm, especially in religion or politics.)
