1

person who starts an organization

A person who starts a business, group, or movement for the first time.

استعمال کا انداز: the founder of [an organization]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "founder" with "funder". A founder starts the organization, while a funder gives money to support it. Another confusion is using "founder" instead of "owner": a founder may not still own or control the organization.
ہم معنی الفاظ

متضاد الفاظ
successor (refers to someone who takes over leadership after the founder, not the original creator.) | follower (a person who joins or supports something after it has already been started.)

for a plan or project to fail

To have so many problems that a plan, project, or system cannot continue and fails.

استعمال کا انداز: [a project/plan/system] founders (on/over) [a problem]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "founder" with "flounder". "A project founders" means it fails, while "a project flounders" means it struggles or has great difficulty. Also, do not use this verb when you mean "to start"; that is "to found", not "to founder".
ہم معنی الفاظ
collapse (suggests a sudden or dramatic failure, sometimes after a period of apparent stability.) | fail (more general and widely used; does not necessarily imply the serious or complete breakdown that "founder" often suggests.)
متضاد الفاظ
succeed (describes a plan or project achieving its goals instead of failing.) | thrive (implies doing very well and growing strongly rather than struggling and failing.)

When a boat or ship fills with water and goes under the sea or a lake.

استعمال کا انداز: [a boat/ship] founders [in water/place]
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
sink (the most common everyday verb; "founder" is somewhat more formal or literary and used mainly for boats and ships.)
متضاد الفاظ
stay afloat (describes a ship remaining on the surface instead of going under the water.)

استعمال کا انداز: an [iron/bronze/bell] founder
عام غلطی:

متضاد الفاظ
