Ingliz tilida "effective" va "efficient" so'zlari ko'pincha chalkashib ketadi, lekin ularning orasida muhim farq bor. "Effective" degani natijaga erishishda samarali degan ma'noni anglatadi, ya'ni maqsadga yetganmi yoki yo'qmi. "Efficient" esa resurslardan (vaqt, pul, energiya) tejab, ishlarni bajarishda samaradorlikni bildiradi. Natijaga erishish muhim, lekin uni qanchalik tejab, tez bajarganingiz ham muhim.

Masalan:

• Effective: "The new marketing campaign was effective in increasing sales." (Yangi marketing kampaniyasi sotuvlarni oshirishda samarali bo'ldi.)

• Ineffective: "His attempts to solve the problem were ineffective." (Muammoni hal qilishdagi urinishlari samarasiz bo'ldi.)

• Efficient: "She's a very efficient worker; she gets a lot done in a short time." (U juda samarali ishchi; u qisqa vaqt ichida ko'p ish bajaradi.)

• Inefficient: "The old system was inefficient and wasted a lot of resources." (Eski tizim samarasiz edi va ko'p resurslarni sarfladi.)

Demak, biror narsa "effective" bo'lishi mumkin, lekin "efficient" bo'lmasligi mumkin, va aksincha. Masalan, siz muammoni hal qilishingiz mumkin (effective), lekin buning uchun juda ko'p vaqt va kuch sarflashingiz mumkin (inefficient). Yoki siz juda tez va tejab ishlashingiz mumkin (efficient), lekin natija olmasligingiz ham mumkin (ineffective).
