relating to or able to predict
Describing something that helps you know or guess what will happen in the future.
Vzorec užití:
predictive [noun]
Častá chyba:
Learners often confuse "predictive" with "predictable." "Predictive" describes something that helps you predict the future (e.g., predictive model, predictive text), while "predictable" means something is easy to guess because it always happens in the same way (e.g., a predictable ending to a movie). Another mistake is using "predictive" after a linking verb (e.g., "The result is very predictive") where many native speakers would prefer a phrase like "has strong predictive power" or "is highly predictive of [something]" plus an object.
Synonyma
prognostic (More formal and often used in medical or technical contexts to describe signs that show what will happen in the future.)
Antonyma
descriptive (Focuses only on describing current or past facts, not on indicating or estimating future events.)
