[Vocabulary] District vs disturb ?

[Hyab]

I always confused when I am using distruct and disturb in my communication .any one help me understand ?

 

[emsr2d2]

The two words are not remotely connected. Are you sure you aren't confused between "district" and "suburb"?

Note that in your title you used "district" but in your main post you used "distruct" (which is not an English word).

distruct and disturb

The OP may mean 'distract' and 'disturb', because 'distract/disturb someone' may be somewhat confusing.

The OP might mean a lot of things. I plan to wait for the OP to answer my question directly.

I mean the word distract thanks for correcting me.

You can disturb someone without really distracting them. If I am doing nothing, I may not want other people to come is, which would disturb me, but as I am doing nothing, it wouldn't distract me. I would have to be doing something to be distracted IMO.

 

[Matthew Wai]

You can disturb but not distract a sleeper because s/he is not doing anything.
Is it correct? Not a teacher.

"Disturb" indicates that the interruption is annoying and unwanted. "Distract" indicates that the person's concentration was temporarily diverted, but not necessarily in an annoying way. Sometimes a distraction can be a pleasant one, however; for example, if you are hard at work studying and your friend interrupts you by saying "I've decided to start my diet today; will you please eat this ice cream sundae for me? I shouldn't have bought it in the first place...." This type of distraction might be considered a pleasant and welcome one! ;-)
