adjective B2 property
1

not changed, used, or influenced

still in its first state, not changed or affected by anything

استعمال کا انداز: [something] remains untouched
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "untouched" with "unavailable" or "unused". "Untouched" means nothing has changed or affected it; it can still be available or in use. For example, a rule can be "untouched" (not changed) but still used every day.
ہم معنی الفاظ
unchanged (Focuses on not being different from before, without the nuance of purity or newness.) | pristine (Suggests being very clean or perfectly original, often with a positive tone.)
متضاد الفاظ
altered (Emphasizes that something has been changed from its original state.)

not eaten, used, or handled

not eaten, drunk, or used at all

استعمال کا انداز: [food or item] is left untouched

ہم معنی الفاظ
unused (General word for not used; does not suggest disappointment or surprise the way "untouched" sometimes does.) | uneaten (Specific to food; cannot be used for money or objects.)

3

not damaged or harmed at all

not hurt or damaged, even when other things were

استعمال کا انداز: [something] is left untouched by [event]
عام غلطی:

ہم معنی الفاظ
unharmed (Often used for people or animals, but can also be used for objects.) | undamaged (More technical or formal; focuses strictly on physical damage.)
متضاد الفاظ
damaged (Stresses that something has been physically harmed or broken.)

4

not emotionally affected or moved

not feeling any change in emotion because of something

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is untouched by [emotion or event]
عام غلطی:
Learners may think "untouched" always refers to physical contact. In this sense, it describes your feelings: if you are "untouched by" something, your emotions do not change because of it.
ہم معنی الفاظ
unmoved (Often used about not feeling strong emotion, especially in reaction to something meant to be touching or persuasive.) | unaffected (Can be broader, but in emotional contexts it means feelings do not change.)
متضاد الفاظ
deeply affected (Emphasizes strong emotional impact from an event or experience.)

adjective literary C1 property
5

sexually inexperienced or virgin

not having had sex with anyone

استعمال کا انداز: [someone] is still untouched
عام غلطی:
Learners may mistakenly use this sense in everyday contexts where it sounds odd or old-fashioned. In modern speech, people usually say "virgin" or "has never had sex"; "untouched" in this way is mostly literary or poetic.
ہم معنی الفاظ
virginal (Literary or delicate; strongly associated with sexual innocence, especially for women.) | chaste (Emphasizes choosing not to have sex, often for moral or religious reasons.)
متضاد الفاظ
sexually experienced (Describes someone who has had sexual relationships.)
