happening in the same way again and again
Happening or done many times in the same way, so it can feel boring or tiring.
استعمال کا انداز:
repetitive [task/activity/movement/work]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say "very repeat" or "many repeat" instead of using "repetitive" (e.g., "The work is very repetitive," not "The work is very repeat"). They may also confuse "repetitive" with "repeated": "repeated" describes single events that happen again, while "repetitive" describes a general quality of something that happens in the same way many times, often boring or tiring.

repeating the same ideas in language
Using the same words or ideas too many times in speaking or writing, so it is not clear or interesting.
استعمال کا انداز:
repetitive [writing/speech/lyrics/story]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "repetitive" with "repetitious". Both can describe language that repeats, but "repetitious" is often slightly more formal or negative; "repetitive" is more common in everyday use. Learners may also call language "long" or "many words" instead of using the more precise word "repetitive" when the main problem is unnecessary repetition.
ہم معنی الفاظ
redundant (More formal; often used for language that needlessly repeats the same information.)
|
wordy (Focuses on using too many words; not always about exact repetition, but often overlaps with repetitive language.)
متضاد الفاظ
concise (Describes language that uses only the necessary words, without repetition or extra detail.)
