from or about the Middle Ages

About the time in European history called the Middle Ages, or in the style of that time.

استعمال کا انداز: medieval [noun]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse 'medieval' with 'middle-aged'. 'Medieval' describes things related to the Middle Ages (a historical period), while 'middle-aged' describes a person who is around 40–60 years old. Another mistake is writing the British spelling 'mediaeval' in American English, where 'medieval' is standard.

very old-fashioned or cruel

Very old and not modern, or very cruel, so that it feels like something from long ago.

استعمال کا انداز: medieval [attitude / law / practice]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use 'medieval' in this sense in very formal writing, where a more neutral word like 'old-fashioned' or 'outdated' would be better. Also, some learners think this sense always means 'cruel', but it can also just mean 'very old-fashioned'.
ہم معنی الفاظ
backward (Suggests resistance to change or progress; less strong in suggesting cruelty.) | barbaric (Focuses more on being extremely cruel or violent rather than just old-fashioned.)
متضاد الفاظ
progressive (Emphasizes modern, forward-thinking ideas, the opposite of old-fashioned views.) | enlightened (Suggests modern, informed, and fair attitudes instead of harsh, outdated ones.)
