arriving from outside
Coming to a place or person from outside, often used about calls, messages, mail, or vehicles.
Vzorec užití:
incoming [call/mail/message/flight/train/tide]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "incoming" with "coming" or "oncoming". Use "incoming" mainly before nouns like "call", "mail", "flight", and when something is being received. Use "oncoming" for traffic or things moving toward you on a path, and plain "coming" in general speech.
Synonyma
arriving (Very close in meaning; more general and slightly more common in everyday speech.)
|
incoming (Used especially in technical or labeled contexts, like phones, email, or schedules.)
|
approaching (Focuses more on distance getting smaller, not specifically on being received by a system.)
Antonyma
outgoing (Used for things that are leaving a place or system, such as calls, mail, or flights.)
|
departing (Opposite direction in travel contexts, describing something that is leaving rather than arriving.)

Vzorec užití:
incoming [president/government/CEO/class/student]

|

projectiles or attacks coming in
Coming toward you in an attack, especially bullets, bombs, or rockets.
Vzorec užití:
incoming [fire/shells/missiles/rockets]
Častá chyba:
Learners may not realize that in military English "incoming" strongly suggests danger from enemy fire, not just something moving toward you. In everyday contexts, use more neutral words like "arriving" or "coming" instead.
Synonyma
hostile (Emphasizes that the fire or weapons are from an enemy, not just their direction.)
|
approaching (More general and not limited to weapons or attacks.)
Antonyma
outgoing (In military radio speech, describes fire or rounds that are being fired away from your position rather than toward it.)

shouted warning of attack
A word you shout to warn people that something dangerous, like a bomb or bullet, is coming.

Synonyma
Look out! (General spoken warning for any sudden danger, not only attacks.)
|
Heads up! (Informal warning that something is coming; can be friendly or non-dangerous.)

revenues or money received
Money that comes to a person or company, usually used in the plural form "incomings".
Vzorec užití:
[someone]'s incomings

Synonyma
income (Standard modern term; more common and less formal or old-fashioned than "incomings".)
|
revenue (Often used for business or government money; typically larger-scale than personal "incomings".)
Antonyma
