dependence on someone or something

A situation where you need and use someone or something in order to live, work, or succeed.

استعمال کا انداز: reliance on [someone/something]
عام غلطی:
Learners often forget the preposition and say *reliance to* or *reliance of* instead of the correct *reliance on*. Another common error is using the adjective form *reliant* where the noun is needed, e.g. *our reliant on oil* instead of *our reliance on oil*.

استعمال کا انداز: reliance on [someone/something] for [information/support]

ہم معنی الفاظ
trust (Slightly more emotional and everyday; does not always imply using something as a basis for decisions.) | confidence (Often used in formal or professional contexts when judging how reliable a person, system, or information is.) | faith (More emotional or sometimes religious; suggests strong belief even without complete proof.)

legal reliance on a promise

In legal language, when someone changes what they do because they believe a promise or statement, especially if this later harms them.

استعمال کا انداز: reliance on [a promise/representation]
عام غلطی:
Learners may assume this legal use is the same as everyday dependence, but in law *reliance* usually means a party acted or did not act because they believed a promise or statement, and this change of position is central to the legal claim.
ہم معنی الفاظ
detrimental reliance (More specific legal term highlighting that the reliance caused some kind of harm or loss.) | reliance interest (Technical legal phrase referring to compensation for losses caused by relying on a promise.)
متضاد الفاظ
non-reliance (Used in legal disclaimers to show that a party did not base its actions on a particular statement or promise.)
