1
morally or socially wrong
So bad or wrong that people cannot accept it in normal social or moral life.
الگوی کاربرد:
[something] is unacceptable (to [someone])
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *"it is not acceptable morally"* or *"it is very bad"* instead of using the single word *"unacceptable"*. Using *"unacceptable"* is more natural and stronger when you want to say something is against social or moral rules.
هممعنیها
inappropriate (Suggests behavior or language that does not fit social rules, but may sound slightly softer and more formal.)
|
offensive (Focuses on causing anger or hurt; more about emotional impact than rules themselves.)
|
intolerable (Stronger; emphasizes that something cannot be allowed to continue at all.)
متضادها
acceptable (Direct opposite; something that people agree is fine or allowed.)

appropriate (Emphasizes that behavior fits the social situation and rules.)

2
not good enough in quality
Not good enough in quality or level, so people will not accept it.
الگوی کاربرد:
[something] is unacceptable; find [something] unacceptable
اشتباه رایج:
Learners may overuse *"bad"* (e.g., *"The service is very bad"*) where a stronger, more precise choice is *"unacceptable"* if something fails to meet a basic standard. Also, some learners confuse *"unaccepted"* (not received or agreed to) with *"unacceptable"* (not good enough or not allowed).
هممعنیها
unsatisfactory (More formal and slightly weaker; simply not good enough, without strong emotion.)
|
inadequate (Focuses on not meeting a needed amount or standard, often in technical or formal contexts.)
متضادها
satisfactory (Means just good enough to meet the required standard, even if not excellent.)
|
adequate (Means enough in amount or quality to be accepted.)

not possible to accept or agree
Not something that a person or group can agree to or say yes to.
الگوی کاربرد:
[something] is unacceptable to [someone]; find [something] unacceptable
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *"I cannot accept this"* in very formal or emotional situations where native speakers would often say *"This is unacceptable"*. Also, they may confuse this sense with simple past passive forms like *"was not accepted"*, which only state a result, not a strong judgment.
هممعنیها
unagreeable (Less common; means that people will not agree to it, but without the strong moral tone of *"unacceptable"*.)
|
untenable (Formal; used especially for positions or proposals that cannot be defended or kept.)
متضادها
acceptable (Means that the person or group is willing to agree to or live with the offer or situation.)
|
agreeable (Means that someone is happy to accept or approve of the suggestion or terms.)
