2

not noticing or aware of something

Not aware that something is happening or that something is true.

الگوی کاربرد: [someone] is insensible to [something]

Learners may use "insensible" where "unaware" would be more natural in everyday speech. "Insensible" in this sense is quite formal and is more common in written English than in conversation.
هم‌معنی‌ها
unaware (Very close in meaning and more common; does not carry the slightly formal tone that "insensible" does.) | oblivious (Suggests being completely and often carelessly unaware, sometimes more strongly than "insensible".)
متضادها
aware (General opposite, meaning knowing about or noticing something.) | conscious of (Stresses a deliberate awareness, the opposite of being insensible to something.)

emotionally unfeeling or indifferent

Not feeling or showing care when other people are sad, hurt, or in need.

الگوی کاربرد: [someone] is insensible to [someone’s] feelings/suffering
اشتباه رایج:
Learners often use only "insensitive" for this idea. "Insensible" is more formal and is mainly used in written or serious contexts to stress a strong, often shocking lack of feeling.
هم‌معنی‌ها
insensitive (The most common everyday word; broader and less formal than "insensible" while often describing the same behavior.) | callous (Stronger and more negative, suggesting a cold or even cruel lack of feeling.)
متضادها
sensitive (Describes someone who notices and cares about others’ feelings, the opposite of being emotionally insensible.) | compassionate (Highlights active concern and kindness toward others, contrasting with emotional indifference.)

too slight to be noticed

So small or slow that you cannot see, feel, or notice it.

الگوی کاربرد: an insensible change/difference/gradual increase
اشتباه رایج:
Learners rarely use "insensible" in this sense and usually choose "small", "slight", or "imperceptible" instead, which are more natural in modern English.
هم‌معنی‌ها
imperceptible (Standard term in both everyday and technical contexts; more common than "insensible" for this idea.) | subtle (Often suggests something hard to notice; can carry a positive sense of being delicate or fine, unlike neutral "insensible".)
متضادها
noticeable (Direct opposite, meaning easy to see or detect.) | obvious (Stronger than "noticeable", stressing that something is very easy to perceive.)
ترکیب‌های رایج
insensible change |insensible difference |insensible gradations |almost insensible |insensible movement

foolish or lacking judgment

الگوی کاربرد: it is insensible (of [someone]) to [do something]

هم‌معنی‌ها

متضادها
sensible (Direct opposite, meaning showing good sense and practical judgment.) | reasonable (Stresses logic and fairness, contrasting with an insensible or foolish action.)
