1

not physically active or moving

Not moving around or doing physical exercise, especially for a long time.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is inactive
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "lazy" when they only mean "inactive". "Lazy" criticizes someone's character, but "inactive" is more neutral and usually describes physical movement or exercise level. For example, "an inactive lifestyle" is fine, but "a lazy lifestyle" sounds more judgmental.
ہم معنی الفاظ
sedentary (Often used for lifestyles or jobs with a lot of sitting and very little movement.) | idle (Can sound more negative or critical, suggesting someone is not using their time well.) | motionless (Describes not moving at all at a particular moment, not a general lifestyle.)
متضاد الفاظ
active (General opposite, especially for people who move and exercise a lot.) | energetic (Emphasises high energy and lively movement, not just physical activity level.)

adjective B2 property
2

not working, operating, or in use

Not working or being used at this time, but it can work again later.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] is inactive
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse "inactive" with "broken". An "inactive" account or machine is not being used or is turned off, but it can usually work again. "Broken" means it does not work properly. Also, in computing, "inactive" is different from "deleted" or "closed": inactive things can often be reactivated.
ہم معنی الفاظ
idle (Often used for machines or equipment that are not running at the moment.) | dormant (Suggests something is sleeping or paused for a long time, like a volcano or project.) | unused (Focuses on the fact that something is not being used, not on whether it works.)
متضاد الفاظ
active (General opposite, for systems, accounts, or devices that are in use.) | operational (Stresses that something is working and ready to be used.)

adjective B2 property
3

not taking part or involved

Not involved in an activity or group at this time.

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is inactive in [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "inactive" when they mean "shy" or "introverted". "Inactive" describes behavior in a situation (not taking part), while "shy" and "introverted" describe personality. Also, "inactive" in this sense usually needs a context, e.g. "inactive in politics", not just "He is inactive."
ہم معنی الفاظ
uninvolved (Focuses on not being part of something or not taking part in it.) | passive (Suggests someone lets things happen without trying to influence them.)
متضاد الفاظ
involved (Describes someone who takes part and plays a role in an activity or group.) | engaged (Implies active, interested participation.)

4

not currently active (medical condition)

Used for a disease or virus that is in the body but is not doing anything at this time.

استعمال کا انداز: an inactive [disease/virus/phase]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think "inactive" means "gone" or "cured". In medical English, an "inactive" disease or virus is still present but not doing anything right now. It can sometimes become active again.
ہم معنی الفاظ
dormant (Common in medical and biological contexts for something that is sleeping or resting but may become active later.) | latent (Technical term meaning present but not yet showing signs or activity.)
متضاد الفاظ
active (In medicine, describes a disease or virus that is currently progressing or showing symptoms.) | acute (Refers to a disease with active, often sudden and serious symptoms.)

5

not chemically reactive

Not reacting, or reacting only a little, in a chemical change.

استعمال کا انداز: chemically inactive [substance/gas]
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse "inactive" with "solid" or "stable". "Inactive" in chemistry means a substance does not react, not that it is hard, safe, or unchanging in every way. A solid can be very reactive, and a stable substance can still react slowly.
ہم معنی الفاظ
inert (Standard technical term in chemistry for a substance that does not react easily.) | unreactive (General technical word for not taking part in chemical reactions.)
متضاد الفاظ
reactive (Describes substances that take part in chemical reactions easily.) | active (In chemistry, refers to substances that readily react or show chemical activity.)

6

not medically active in a product

Used for a part of a medicine that does not treat the illness but helps make the pill or liquid.

استعمال کا انداز: inactive ingredient
عام غلطی:
Learners may think "inactive ingredient" means a useless or unnecessary ingredient. In fact, these ingredients are important for making the medicine stable, safe, or easy to use, even though they do not treat the illness directly.
ہم معنی الفاظ
inert (In pharmaceuticals, means it has no direct therapeutic action.) | non-active (Used in product labeling to show that a component does not have the main effect.)
متضاد الفاظ
active (Describes the ingredient that produces the main medical effect.)
