1

not suitable for a use or purpose

Not good, safe, or right to be used for something.

الگوی کاربرد: [something] is unfit for [purpose/group]
اشتباه رایج:
Learners sometimes say *"The water is not fit"* without adding what it is not fit for. In most cases, you should say *"unfit for [purpose]"*, for example: *"unfit for drinking"* or *"unfit for children"*. They may also confuse *"unfit"* with *"unhealthy"*: food can be *unhealthy* but still legally safe, while *unfit* usually means it should not be used at all.

not physically fit or in shape

Not strong or healthy enough, especially for sports or exercise.

الگوی کاربرد: [someone] is unfit

هم‌معنی‌ها
out of shape (Informal; commonly used for everyday talk about low physical fitness.) | unhealthy (Broader; can refer to diet or lifestyle, not only physical fitness level.)
متضادها
fit (General word for being in good physical condition.) | in shape (Informal phrase meaning physically fit and able to exercise.) | athletic (Suggests not only fit but also naturally strong or good at sports.)

الگوی کاربرد: [someone] is unfit for [work/duty]

الگوی کاربرد: [something] is unfit for [audience/purpose]

هم‌معنی‌ها
inappropriate (General word for not acceptable in a social or moral sense.) | offensive (Emphasizes that the content may upset or anger people.) | indecent (Stronger; often used for sexual or very rude content.)
متضادها
