the part that is left
The part of something that is still there after you use or take away the rest.
استعمال کا انداز:
the remainder of [something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "remainder" with "remains." Use "remainder" for what is left of an amount or group (the remainder of the cake, the remainder of the team). Use "remains" mainly for what is left of something destroyed or dead (the remains of a building, human remains). In many everyday sentences, "the rest of" is more natural than "the remainder of" in informal speech.

the time that is left
The time that is left in a day, year, or other period after some of it has gone.
استعمال کا انداز:
for the remainder of [time period]
عام غلطی:
Learners often say *"for the rest time"* instead of "for the rest of the time" or "for the remainder of the time." Remember that "remainder" and "rest" almost always take "of" before the noun: "for the remainder of the day," not *"for the remainder day."
ہم معنی الفاظ
the rest (Very common in speech; usually used with a time word (the rest of the day) and slightly less formal.)

beginning (Refers to the first part of a time period, in contrast with the part that is left.)

amount left after division
In math, the number that is left when you divide and the numbers do not go in exactly.
استعمال کا انداز:
the remainder when [number] is divided by [number]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse the "quotient" (the result of the division) with the "remainder" (the part left over). In the division 17 ÷ 5 = 3 remainder 2, 3 is the quotient, and 2 is the remainder. In algebra, the word "mod" or the modulo symbol (%) is also related but refers to the operation, not the leftover number itself.
متضاد الفاظ
no remainder (Describes the opposite situation in division where the divisor goes in exactly with nothing left over.)

unsold books sold cheaply
Books that did not sell and are sold very cheaply by the publisher, usually with a special mark.
استعمال کا انداز:
sell [books] as remainders
عام غلطی:
Learners may think "remainder" here means a damaged or used book. In publishing, a remainder is usually a new book that simply did not sell at full price and is now discounted, often with a small mark on the pages.
ہم معنی الفاظ
overstock (Refers more generally to extra unsold goods; not limited to books and less tied to discount marking.)
متضاد الفاظ
bestseller (A book that sells extremely well, the opposite commercial situation of ending up as a remainder.)

future interest in property
In legal language, a right to get property in the future, after someone else’s legal right to that property ends.
استعمال کا انداز:
a remainder in [property]
عام غلطی:
Outside legal contexts, learners may wrongly interpret this "remainder" as simply "what is left" in a physical or numerical sense. In property law, it is a specific kind of future legal interest, not just any leftover property.
ہم معنی الفاظ
future interest (A broader legal term that includes remainders and other types of future property rights.)
متضاد الفاظ
present estate (Describes a property interest that is currently possessory, as opposed to one that only begins in the future.)

sell unsold books cheaply
To sell books that did not sell well for a very low price, usually with a mark that shows they are special cheap copies.
استعمال کا انداز:
to remainder [a book / a title]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think "remainder" as a verb means simply "to leave a part" or "to remain." In publishing, "to remainder" specifically means to sell unsold books very cheaply, often as a last step before pulping.
ہم معنی الفاظ
discount (More general verb for lowering a price; not limited to unsold books and may not imply marking the stock.)
متضاد الفاظ
promote (To try to increase sales and keep a book selling at the normal price, the opposite of clearing it out cheaply.)
