1
valuable objects like gold and jewelry
A collection of very valuable things such as gold, money, or jewelry.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] finds [treasure]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use 'treasure' to mean any 'expensive thing', even when talking about a single object (e.g., saying *'This car is a treasure'* when they just mean it costs a lot). In stories and common use, this sense usually refers to a collection of valuable items like gold, jewels, or coins, not just one normal expensive object.
ہم معنی الفاظ
riches (Suggests a large amount of wealth or valuable things, often in a dramatic or story-like way, similar to pirate treasure.)
متضاد الفاظ
junk (Refers to old or broken things that are not valuable, the opposite of valuable treasure.)

action
2
value something or someone deeply
To feel that a person, thing, or time is very special and important, and to value it a lot.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] treasures [someone/something]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes put 'very' between the verb and object, saying *'I treasure very our friendship'* instead of 'I treasure our friendship very much.' Another mistake is using 'treasure' only for expensive things; in this sense it is mostly emotional and is often used with people, memories, and experiences.
ہم معنی الفاظ
cherish (Very close in meaning; slightly more common than 'treasure' and can sound a bit softer or more romantic.)
متضاد الفاظ
disregard (Means to pay little or no attention to something or someone, the opposite of valuing and protecting them.)

3
very helpful or lovable person
A person who is very kind, helpful, or easy to love, and is very important to you.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] is a (real) treasure
عام غلطی:
Learners may think this use is always romantic, but it is often friendly or family-style praise. Also, some learners say *'He is treasure'* without an article; in this sense English normally uses 'a': 'He is a treasure.'
ہم معنی الفاظ
gem (Informal; often used similarly for a person who is especially kind or good, with a slightly playful tone.)
متضاد الفاظ
nuisance (Someone who causes trouble or annoyance, opposite of a person who is valued and helpful.)

something extremely valuable or useful

استعمال کا انداز:
[something] is a treasure for [someone]
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
asset (Often used in business or formal contexts for something or someone that is very useful or valuable.)
