1

be better or greater than

To be better, higher, or more than someone or something else.

استعمال کا انداز: to surpass [someone/something] in [quality/amount]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes say *"surpass than"* (e.g. *"surpass than last year"*). The verb *surpass* is used directly with its object: *"surpass last year"*, *"surpass last year's sales"*. Another mistake is using *surpass* in very casual speech where *beat* or *do better than* would sound more natural.
ہم معنی الفاظ
exceed (Very close in meaning, common with numbers and limits; slightly more neutral and technical.) | outperform (Focuses on doing better in performance, especially in business, sports, or testing.) | outdo (More informal; often used for doing something better than someone else, sometimes with a sense of rivalry.)
متضاد الفاظ
fall short of (Emphasizes not reaching a desired level, goal, or standard.) | trail (Focuses on being behind others in performance, rank, or progress.)

فعل formal C1 action
2

be beyond understanding or description

To be so great or strange that it is too much for belief, imagination, or words.

استعمال کا انداز: to surpass [belief/description/understanding/imagination]
عام غلطی:
Learners may try to use this sense with everyday objects (*"The new phone surpasses description"*), where it sounds strange or too strong. This sense is mainly used with abstract nouns like *belief*, *imagination*, *words*, *description*, or *understanding*, and usually for extreme or emotional situations.
ہم معنی الفاظ
defy (Often used like *defy description* or *defy belief*; stresses resisting explanation or expectation.) | transcend (More literary; emphasizes rising above normal limits of experience or understanding.)
متضاد الفاظ
fit (As in *fit description* or *fit expectations*; suggests something can be adequately described or understood.)

3

do better than ever before

To do better than you have ever done before.

استعمال کا انداز: to surpass oneself / [someone] surpasses himself/herself/themselves
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse this with simply doing well and say *"He surpassed"* without an object. For this sense, it is normally used with a reflexive pronoun: *surpassed himself*, *surpassed herself*, *surpassed themselves*. Without this, it sounds incomplete or like sense 1 (surpassing other people or goals).
ہم معنی الفاظ
outdo oneself (Almost identical meaning; slightly more common in everyday speech.) | excel (General verb for doing extremely well; does not specifically refer to doing better than before.)
متضاد الفاظ
underperform (Emphasizes doing worse than one's usual or expected level.)
لفظی تراکیب
really surpass oneself |truly surpass oneself |once again surpass himself |surpass herself this time
