person who betrays their country
Someone who is not loyal to their own country and helps the enemy instead.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] is a traitor to [a country]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "traitor" with "trader" because they sound similar. A "traitor" betrays trust, but a "trader" buys and sells things. Another common mistake is saying "traitor of his country" instead of the correct phrase "traitor to his country".

عام غلطی:
Learners may think "traitor" can be used for any person who simply leaves a group, but it usually implies a serious sense of betrayal, not just a normal decision to change jobs or teams. Also, the preposition is usually "to" ("a traitor to his team"), not "for" or "of".
