having qualities seen as feminine
Having the kind, gentle, caring way that people often connect with adult women.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone] has a very womanly [quality]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "womanly" when they mean simply "female" (for example, saying *a womanly doctor* instead of *a female doctor*). "Womanly" usually describes character or behavior, not just biological sex or job. Many situations are more natural with "female" or "feminine."
ہم معنی الفاظ
feminine (Very close in meaning, but more common and a bit broader; can refer to style, appearance, or behavior, not only character.)
|
ladylike (Focuses more on polite, proper, socially approved female behavior, often with a slightly old-fashioned tone.)
|
womanlike (A more literal and less common word; sounds formal or old-fashioned compared with "womanly.")
متضاد الفاظ
manly (Describes qualities traditionally associated with men, such as physical toughness or roughness, which contrasts with typical "womanly" traits.)
|
masculine (Broader opposite of "feminine" or "womanly," covering male-associated style, behavior, or identity.)

having an adult female figure
Having a body that looks like an adult woman's body, usually with soft curves.
استعمال کا انداز:
a womanly [body/figure/shape]
عام غلطی:
Learners may try to use "womanly" for any female animal or child (e.g., *a womanly cat*, *a womanly girl*), which sounds strange. "Womanly" usually describes adult human women and is often slightly literary. In many daily situations, "curvy" or just "feminine" is more natural.
ہم معنی الفاظ
curvy (Very common in modern speech; focuses on the rounded shape of the body and is usually informal and positive.)
|
feminine (Broader; can describe style or feeling as well as body shape, and is more neutral and modern than "womanly.")
متضاد الفاظ
boyish (Often used for a slim, straight body without many curves, which contrasts with a "womanly" figure.)
|
masculine (Used for a body or look with stronger, less rounded lines that people connect more with men than with women.)
