approximate calculation of size or cost
A careful guess about how big, how many, how long, or how much something will cost or be worth.
استعمال کا انداز:
an estimation of [amount/cost/size]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "estimation" with the verb "estimate". Use "estimation" as a noun ("make an estimation"), and "estimate" as a verb ("to estimate the cost"). Also, avoid saying *"do an estimation"*; "make" or "give" is more natural.

What someone thinks or believes about how good, important, or right something or someone is.
استعمال کا انداز:
in [someone]'s estimation, [clause]

|
assessment (Suggests a more thorough or systematic judgment than "estimation".)

level of respect or regard
How much people respect or value someone or something.
استعمال کا انداز:
hold [someone/something] in [high/low] estimation

ہم معنی الفاظ
esteem (Very close in meaning; used more often in formal or written English.)
|
regard (Slightly broader; may be less intense than "esteem" or "high estimation".)
متضاد الفاظ
disrespect (Shows a clear lack of respect, the opposite of high estimation.)

statistical or mathematical estimating process
In math, science, or engineering, the way to find an estimated value for something you do not know, using numbers or data.
استعمال کا انداز:
estimation of [parameter/value] using [method]
عام غلطی:
Learners may not realize that in technical texts "estimation" often refers to a formal method, not just a quick guess. In these contexts, it usually goes with words like "parameter", "model", or a named method such as "maximum likelihood".
ہم معنی الفاظ
estimation procedure (More explicit in technical writing; highlights the method used.)
|
inference (In statistics, can overlap when talking about drawing conclusions from data, but is broader than estimation alone.)
متضاد الفاظ
measurement (In technical fields, measurement finds an observed value directly, rather than inferring or estimating it.)
|
exact computation (Indicates that no approximation is involved, unlike in estimation.)
