Clearly related to what is being talked about or done, and important for it.
Patrón de uso:
[something] is pertinent to [something]
Error frecuente:
Learners sometimes confuse "pertinent" with "impertinent". "Pertinent" means "relevant", while "impertinent" means "rude" or "disrespectful" and is not the opposite of "pertinent". Another common mistake is using the wrong preposition, for example *"pertinent with"* or *"pertinent for"*. The most natural pattern is "pertinent to [something]".
Sinónimos

|
applicable (Stresses that something can be used in a particular case; often used in rules or laws, while "pertinent" focuses on being directly related.)
|
germane (Formal and somewhat literary; very close in meaning to "pertinent" but less common in everyday use.)
Antónimos
irrelevant (Describes something that is not related to the subject and therefore not useful or important in that context.)
|
unrelated (Shows there is no connection to the subject; weaker on usefulness, stronger on simple lack of connection.)
