clever and original (of things/ideas)
very clever and new in design or idea, especially for solving a problem well
استعمال کا انداز:
an ingenious [plan/idea/solution/device/method]
عام غلطی:
Learners often confuse "ingenious" with "ingenuous". "Ingenious" means clever and original, while "ingenuous" means innocent or very open and honest. Another common error is thinking "ingenious" means the same as "genius"; instead, it describes something that shows cleverness, not a person’s overall high intelligence.

clever and inventive (of people)
able to think of new and very clever ideas or ways to solve problems
استعمال کا انداز:
an ingenious [person/mind/inventor/child]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "ingenious" directly as a noun (e.g. *"He is an ingenious"*). This is incorrect; you must say "He is an ingenious person" or use another noun after it. There is also confusion between "ingenious" and "genius": "ingenious" describes how clever someone is in a situation, while "a genius" is a person with very high, broad intelligence.
ہم معنی الفاظ
resourceful (focuses on finding practical solutions with what is available, not always very original.)
|
brilliant (stronger praise; suggests very high intelligence, not only clever problem-solving.)
|
inventive (very close in meaning; highlights talent for creating new things or ideas.)
متضاد الفاظ
slow-witted (describes someone who understands or thinks of solutions much less quickly or cleverly.)
|
unimaginative (suggests a person rarely has new or creative ideas.)
