to strongly interest someone

To make someone very interested so they watch or think about something for a long time.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] fascinates [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse the subject and object. We say "Math fascinates me" (math = subject, me = object), not *"I fascinate math." Another common mistake is using "fascinate" when they only mean "like" or "be interested in". "Fascinate" is stronger, used when interest is very high or lasting. Also watch the -ed / -ing forms: "I am fascinated by animals" (correct) vs. *"I am fascinating by animals" (incorrect).

to strongly attract or charm

To make someone feel very strongly attracted and unable to look away or stop thinking about a person or thing.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone]/[something] fascinates [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use this sense for very small or normal interest, where "like" or "be interested in" is better. This sense suggests a strong emotional pull or charm, not just simple interest. Also, avoid saying *"fascinate with" as a verb pattern (e.g. *"She fascinated me with her dress"); more natural is "She fascinated me" or "Her dress fascinated me."
ہم معنی الفاظ
captivate (Very close in meaning; often used for beauty, performance, or personality that holds attention like a charm.) | enchant (Stronger sense of magic or beauty; can sound more literary or romantic than "fascinate.") | mesmerize (Suggests almost hypnotic power, so someone cannot look away or think of anything else.)
متضاد الفاظ
repel (Means to strongly push someone away or disgust them, the opposite of attracting them powerfully.) | leave cold (An informal phrase meaning not to affect or interest someone at all; opposite of strongly attracting them.)

to bewitch or put under a spell

To make someone feel or act as if you used magic on them, so they cannot move or look away.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone]/[something] fascinates [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners may not realize this sense is rare and mostly appears in old stories, fantasy, or poetic language. In normal modern speech, use "fascinate" in the general sense of "strongly interest" or "strongly attract," not for real magic.
ہم معنی الفاظ
bewitch (Emphasizes magical control or charm, often in fantasy or historical settings.) | spellbind (Suggests holding people as if by a magic spell, often used for performances or stories in a literary style.)
متضاد الفاظ
