sexually attracted to opposite sex

Feeling sexual and usually romantic attraction to people of the opposite sex.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is heterosexual / heterosexual [relationship/person/marriage]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'heterosexual' with 'homosexual' because the words look similar. Remember: 'hetero-' means 'different', so 'heterosexual' is attraction to a different sex; 'homo-' means 'same', so 'homosexual' is attraction to the same sex. Learners may also overuse the formal adjective when the neutral informal word 'straight' would sound more natural in casual conversation.

straight (Very common informal word; sounds more casual and is used more in everyday speech than 'heterosexual'.)
متضاد الفاظ
homosexual (General opposite; describes sexual attraction to people of the same sex.) | gay (Common everyday opposite; usually refers to men attracted to men but often used more broadly for same‑sex attraction.)

a person attracted to opposite sex

A person who feels sexual and usually romantic attraction to people of the opposite sex.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is a heterosexual / many heterosexuals [verb]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use 'a heterosexual' when they only need the adjective, saying things like *'He is heterosexual man'* instead of *'He is a heterosexual man'* or *'He is heterosexual.'* They may also feel the noun sounds too formal or distant in contexts where 'straight person' would be more natural in spoken English.
ہم معنی الفاظ
straight person (More informal and common in speech; sounds friendlier and less clinical than 'heterosexual'.)
متضاد الفاظ
homosexual (Refers to a person who is attracted to others of the same sex; direct contrast in terms of sexual orientation.) | gay person (Everyday opposite; usually refers to a man attracted to men but often used more broadly.)
