impossible or extremely hard to understand

So hard to understand that you almost or completely cannot understand it.

الگوی کاربرد: [something] is incomprehensible (to [someone])
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes use *incomprehensible* where *unbelievable* or *amazing* would be more natural. *Incomprehensible* focuses on something being impossible or extremely hard to understand, not on it being surprising or impressive. Another common mistake is saying *incomprehensible for me* instead of the more natural *incomprehensible to me*.

impossible to accept or believe

So shocking or wrong that you cannot believe it or understand why it happened.

الگوی کاربرد: it is incomprehensible (that [clause]) / [something] is incomprehensible to [someone]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may confuse this emotional or moral sense with the purely intellectual sense in which something is hard to understand. In this meaning, *incomprehensible* often appears with clauses introduced by *that* or *how* (e.g., *It is incomprehensible that they left*), and it usually expresses moral shock or strong disapproval.
هم‌معنی‌ها
unthinkable (Emphasizes that something is so shocking or wrong that people feel it should not even be considered.) | unfathomable (Stresses emotional or moral depth that cannot be grasped or explained.)
متضادها
reasonable (Describes something that makes sense and can be accepted or justified.) | acceptable (Focuses on something being morally or socially okay.)
