Run away from danger or threat.
To run away quickly from danger or from something that may hurt you.
استعمال کا انداز:
to flee [a place/thing] (from [danger/threat])
عام غلطی:
Learners often say *"flee from the country"* or *"flee away"*. In modern English, you usually say *"flee the country"* (no preposition) or *"flee from danger"*, but you do not add *"away"*. Also, *flee* is more formal than *run away* and is not normally used for small, everyday situations.
ہم معنی الفاظ
escape (More general; does not always suggest sudden running, and is slightly more common in everyday speech.)
|
run away (More informal and childlike; often used for shorter distances or less serious situations.)
|
evacuate (More formal and often used for organized leaving of a dangerous area, especially by authorities.)
متضاد الفاظ
stay (Opposite because it means not leaving the dangerous place.)
|
confront (Opposite in attitude; to face the danger or threat instead of running away from it.)

2
Run away to avoid duties or problems.
To get away from problems or duties instead of facing them.
استعمال کا انداز:
to flee (from) [problem/responsibility/situation]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use *flee* with very light or casual problems, where *avoid* or *skip* would sound more natural. *Flee* suggests strong fear, pressure, or seriousness, even when used metaphorically. Also, both patterns *"flee responsibility"* and *"flee from responsibility"* are possible; *"flee responsibility"* is more concise and slightly more formal.
ہم معنی الفاظ
avoid (More general and common; does not always suggest sudden movement or strong fear.)
|
shun (More formal/literary; suggests deliberately keeping away, often over a long time.)
|
run from (Informal; emphasizes emotional avoidance of problems or responsibility.)
متضاد الفاظ
face (Opposite because it means to deal with a problem or responsibility directly.)
|
confront (Stronger opposite; suggests actively meeting the problem or duty.)

3
Disappear or pass quickly (literary).
To say in a literary way that time or a feeling goes away or ends quickly.
استعمال کا انداز:
[time/feeling/quality] flees
عام غلطی:
Learners may try to use this sense in everyday conversation, where it sounds too poetic or old-fashioned. In normal speech, people say *"time passes quickly"* or *"my courage disappeared"*, not *"time flees"* or *"my courage fled"*.
ہم معنی الفاظ
vanish (Focuses on something disappearing suddenly, not necessarily quickly passing over time.)
|
pass quickly (More neutral phrase; lacks the poetic or dramatic tone of *flee*.)
متضاد الفاظ
linger (Opposite because it means to stay for a long time instead of disappearing quickly.)
|
remain (Neutral opposite; something continues instead of going away.)
