lexical gaps: missing words

Post Reply New Topic

Huh?

You cant even construct a simple sentence on your own?

WOW!

Is it because you are not a native English speaker?

Be that as it may:

Even "relatable" is a rarely used word.

How do you even use "relatable" in a sentence?

If something is akin to something else then you would say "A is related to B".

If something is not akin to something else then you would say "A is not related to B", or "A is unrelated to B".

Niether "relatable" nor "unrelatable" would be used.


So in what situation would you use either "relatable", or "unrelatable"?

and... why would i owe you any proof or explanation if i'm talking about random trivia? you have some strange ideas, you know. if you're curious about it, google is your friend. i'm not. then if you want to correct me or add something else, feel free. you may or may not be right, and i may or may not appreciate your contribution, and i may or may not ignore you. but it doesn't or doesn't make a difference who's right or wrong. not everything is a debate

Who is this addressed to? I aint debating anyone.

Just trying to understand what you're talking about.

What's with the sudden attitude?

i could ask you the same


^ it's not the first time that you do that

I apologize for using the word "wow". That was excessive.

But not for expressing amazement that you cant use the word in question in a sentence, and for expressing amazement that you relied on google to do something as simple as making up a sentence, and for expressing amazement that even Google failed to actually show the word being used in a sentence.

I dont see how expressing amazement at those three things is being out of line.



All I am asking you to do is to show me how "relatable" would be used in a sentence in a way that just using the word "related" would not be better (more economical and more accurate).

i'll give you one more ounce of benefit of the doubt and assume that you're actually not being disingenuous. you really don't realize how you're just being condescending based on pretty random assumptions?

that's only a rhetorical question though. i'm not continuing this conversation. i got other things to do

All I asked of you is to use "relatable" in a sentence.

Why is that a problem?
