neatly and carefully arranged
Neat and well arranged, so it is easy to see or find things.
Mẫu sử dụng:
an orderly [room/desk/line/row]
Lỗi thường gặp:
Learners sometimes confuse "orderly" with "ordinary." "Orderly" means neat and well arranged, while "ordinary" means normal or not special. Another mistake is using "orderly" as an adverb (e.g., *"They worked orderly"*). The correct form is "They worked in an orderly way" or "They worked in an orderly manner."
Từ đồng nghĩa
tidy (More common for everyday situations; slightly more informal and focused on cleanliness as well as arrangement.)
Từ trái nghĩa
messy (Describes something that is not neat or well arranged, often dirty or disorganized.)

Từ đồng nghĩa
disciplined (Emphasizes self-control and following rules; often slightly more formal or used in institutional contexts.)

A person who works in a hospital doing simple jobs, like cleaning rooms and helping move patients.

A helper for an important person, for example a soldier who helps an officer, or a worker who helps keep order in a court.
Mẫu sử dụng:
an orderly for [an officer/a judge]

Từ đồng nghĩa
aide (Often used for a helper to an important person; can sound more formal or higher status than "orderly.")
