عام غلطی:

controlled adjustment of systems or data
The careful control or change of machines, systems, or information to get a certain result, usually in work, science, or technology.
استعمال کا انداز:
manipulation of [data/tools/system/variables]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes think this sense is always negative because of the more common emotional sense. In technical or scientific contexts, 'manipulation' is often neutral and simply means skilled control or adjustment. Learners also sometimes say 'manipulation about data'; the natural pattern is 'manipulation of data'.
ہم معنی الفاظ
handling (more general and physical; less technical and does not imply detailed control or modification like 'manipulation'.)
|
operation (focuses on running or using a system or device; less about fine-tuned adjustment.)

The act of changing or using numbers, facts, or information in a wrong or unfair way so that people get the wrong idea.
استعمال کا انداز:
manipulation of [statistics/data/evidence/figures]
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ

|
distortion (focuses on twisting or bending the truth; slightly broader and less clearly about deliberate action than 'manipulation'.)

|
transparency (emphasizes open, complete presentation of data so that nothing is hidden or twisted.)

A medical treatment where a doctor, therapist, or chiropractor uses their hands to move or adjust parts of a patient’s body.
استعمال کا انداز:
manipulation of [a body part/joint/spine]

متضاد الفاظ
