Not safe or healthy because it has germs or harmful things in it.
استعمال کا انداز:

|
contaminated (Stresses that something has been made unsafe by harmful substances or germs.)
متضاد الفاظ
hygienic (Focuses on being clean in a way that protects health; the opposite of unclean in health contexts.)
|

morally impure or sinful
Morally bad or not pure, especially in a serious or religious way.
استعمال کا انداز:
[thoughts / actions / money] are unclean
عام غلطی:
Learners may confuse this moral sense with the physical sense and say things like "my mind is dirty" when they want a serious, religious tone. In formal or religious contexts, "unclean thoughts" or "impure thoughts" is more typical, while "dirty mind" sounds informal or humorous.
ہم معنی الفاظ
impure (Very close in meaning; often used in religious or moral contexts for thoughts or motives.)
|
corrupt (Stresses dishonesty and moral decay, especially in politics or business, more than general impurity.)
متضاد الفاظ
pure (Common opposite in moral or religious language; suggests innocence or moral cleanliness.)
|
virtuous (Highlights good moral behavior, not just the absence of impurity.)

ritually or ceremonially impure
In some religions, not allowed in worship or holy places because of special religious rules about purity.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone / something] is ritually unclean
عام غلطی:
Learners may think "unclean" here just means "dirty." In religious laws, it is a special status, not only about visible dirt or germs.
ہم معنی الفاظ
impure (Used in religious texts, but less specific; may refer to general moral or ritual impurity.)
متضاد الفاظ
clean (In religious law, often the set term for animals or people who are allowed in rituals.)
