in a way based on logic
In a way that uses clear, correct thinking and good reasons.
Vzorec užití:
to [verb] [something] logically
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes confuse "logical" (adjective) and "logically" (adverb). Use "logical" before a noun (e.g., "a logical answer") and "logically" to describe how something is done (e.g., "explain it logically"). Another common mistake is placing "logically" too far from the verb it modifies; it usually goes before the main verb or after an auxiliary verb ("You can logically conclude", not "You logically can conclude" in formal writing).

Antonyma
illogically (Describes thinking or speaking that does not follow correct reasoning.)
|
irrationally (Suggests thinking that ignores reason, often influenced by emotion or fear.)

as is natural or expected
Used to say that something makes sense and is what you would expect from the situation.
Vzorec užití:
Logically, [clause]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes use "logically" here when they only mean "of course" or "as you know" without any real reasoning. Use "logically" when there is a clear cause and effect or a clear reason from the facts, not just to fill space at the beginning of a sentence.
Synonyma
naturally (Often used similarly to show that something is not surprising, though it can also refer to things in nature.)
|
understandably (Emphasizes that other people can easily understand why something happened, often with an emotional element.)
Antonyma
surprisingly (Introduces something that does not match what you would normally expect from the situation.)
|
unexpectedly (Highlights that a result is not what logic or experience would predict.)

according to formal logic rules
In a way that matches the strict rules of logic in math or philosophy.
Vzorec užití:
to be logically [adjective]
Častá chyba:
Learners sometimes mix the everyday meaning of "logical" with the technical idea of logical validity or equivalence. In technical subjects, "logically valid" and "logically equivalent" have very precise meanings that may not match casual use.
Synonyma
formally (In technical contexts, can mean according to a strict system of rules, not just everyday reasoning.)
Antonyma
inconsistently (Describes statements or systems that cannot all be true together under the rules of logic.)
Kolokace

|logically consistent
