the taste of food or drink

The special taste of food or drink when you eat or drink it.

استعمال کا انداز: the flavour of [food/drink]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'flavour' with 'taste' as a verb. 'Flavour' is usually a noun or a verb meaning 'add flavour to', while 'taste' is commonly used as both a noun and a verb (e.g. 'Taste the soup', not 'Flavour the soup' when you mean 'try it'). They may also misspell the British form 'flavour' as the American 'flavor' or vice versa.
ہم معنی الفاظ
taste (The most common general word; can mean the sense of taste or the flavour of something, and is slightly broader than 'flavour'.) | savour (Mainly BrE and slightly literary; often suggests a pleasant or distinctive flavour that you enjoy slowly.)
متضاد الفاظ
blandness (Describes food or drink with very little or no noticeable flavour.)
لفظی تراکیب

اسم B1 entity
2

a particular kind of taste

A named kind of taste, like chocolate, strawberry, or vanilla.

استعمال کا انداز: [food/drink] flavour; in [number] flavours
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *'taste of ice cream' instead of 'flavour of ice cream' when asking for a type. Use 'flavour' for named types you can choose between (e.g. 'What flavour ice cream do you want?'). 'Taste' is more general.
ہم معنی الفاظ
variety (A general word for different types; you must add the name of the taste to make the meaning clear (e.g. 'a strawberry variety').) | taste (Can be used similarly (e.g. 'strawberry taste'), but in this specific use 'flavour' is more natural for named food varieties.)
متضاد الفاظ
plain (Describes food that has no added flavour such as chocolate or fruit; the basic version with no special taste.)
لفظی تراکیب
favourite flavour |ice cream flavours |chocolate flavour |new flavour |flavour combinations |limited-edition flavour

اسم B2 entity
3

distinctive character or atmosphere

The special feeling or character that something has, which makes it different from other things.

استعمال کا انداز: the flavour of [event/experience/place/text]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think this meaning is always about food. In this sense, 'flavour' is not about taste but about the general feeling or character of something, especially in phrases like 'local flavour' or 'political flavour'.
ہم معنی الفاظ
atmosphere (Focuses on the general feeling or mood of a place or situation, not on taste.) | character (Describes the distinctive qualities that make something recognisable or unique.)
متضاد الفاظ
neutrality (Suggests something has no strong character, mood, or bias; it lacks a distinctive flavour in this figurative sense.)
لفظی تراکیب

موضوعات

فعل B2 action
4

add taste to food or drink

To put things like herbs or spices in food to give it a special taste.

استعمال کا انداز: flavour [food/drink] with [ingredient]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *'put flavour to the soup' instead of 'flavour the soup' or 'add flavour to the soup'. Use 'flavour' as a verb directly with the object: 'flavour the soup with basil'.
ہم معنی الفاظ
season (Common in cooking; usually refers specifically to adding salt, pepper, and sometimes herbs or spices.)
متضاد الفاظ
bland (Not a verb, but describes food that has not been flavoured or seasoned, so the result of not flavouring food is that it is bland.)
لفظی تراکیب
flavour the sauce |flavour with herbs |lightly flavoured |flavoured with vanilla |subtly flavoured |strongly flavoured
موضوعات

مثالیں

5

give something a particular character

To give something a special feeling or style, for example by adding your opinion or culture to it.

استعمال کا انداز: flavour [speech/story/experience] with [quality/element]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this verb use is only about food. In this sense, 'flavour' is figurative and often appears in passive forms like 'flavoured with humour' or 'flavoured by his experience'.
ہم معنی الفاظ
colour (Often used figuratively to mean 'influence the way something is seen', especially with emotion or opinion.)
متضاد الفاظ
neutralize (To remove or reduce a particular quality or bias so that something has no special flavour or character.)

version or variant of something

A type or version of something, especially software or a product, that is different from other types of the same thing.

استعمال کا انداز: different flavours of [product/system]
عام غلطی:
Learners may take this sense literally and think it is about taste. In computing or business contexts, 'flavour' is figurative and means 'version' or 'type', as in 'different flavours of Linux'.
ہم معنی الفاظ
variant (A neutral technical term for a form that is slightly different from others of the same type.) | edition (Often used for software or products; may suggest a marketed version (e.g. 'Home Edition').)
متضاد الفاظ
standard (Refers to a single normal or official version rather than multiple flavours or variants.)

type of quark or lepton in physics

In physics, a way to talk about different kinds of very small particles, like 'up' or 'down' quarks.

استعمال کا انداز: quark flavour; lepton flavour
عام غلطی:
Learners may assume this sense is related to food because of the everyday meaning of 'flavour', but in physics it is a completely separate technical term.
ہم معنی الفاظ
type (A very general word; in this context it roughly matches the idea of different 'flavours' of particle.)
