serious and very important
very serious and important, and needing careful thought or carrying much responsibility
استعمال کا انداز:
a weighty [issue/decision/responsibility/argument]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "weighty" for everyday serious things where native speakers would normally say "serious" (e.g., *a weighty test*). "Weighty" is mostly used for topics, decisions, and responsibilities that feel especially important or have big effects. It is also uncommon to use "weighty" to describe a person’s personality; "serious" or "solemn" are more natural there.

physically heavy; hard to lift
very heavy and not easy to lift or move
استعمال کا انداز:
a weighty [object/book/package]
عام غلطی:
Learners may overuse "weighty" instead of the much more natural "heavy" for physical objects. "Weighty" is correct but sounds more formal or literary; in everyday speech, "heavy box" or "heavy book" is usually preferred.
