استعمال کا انداز:
a rocky [surface/place]; [place] is rocky

Learners sometimes confuse "rocky" with "rock" as a noun and say things like *"The ground is rock"* when they mean *"The ground is rocky"*. Use "rocky" to describe what the ground is like, and "rock" to name the material itself.

unstable or difficult situation
Having many problems and not stable, especially when talking about relationships, plans, or times in life.
استعمال کا انداز:
a rocky [relationship/period/start]; [time] is rocky for [someone]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes try to use "hard" or "strong" instead of "rocky" for this meaning, saying *"a hard relationship"* or *"a strong start"* when they actually mean it was full of problems. Use "rocky" for difficult and unstable situations, and "strong" for successful or positive ones.
ہم معنی الفاظ
unstable (More general and slightly more formal; can be used for emotions, politics, or objects as well as relationships.)
متضاد الفاظ
stable (Describes a situation or relationship that is steady and not likely to change or break down.)
