Learners sometimes confuse "unused" with "new" and "unopened." "Unused" means nothing has been used yet, but the thing might not be brand-new (for example, an unused ticket from last year). For money or days off, do not say "not used money" or "not used vacation"; say "unused money" or "unused vacation days."
Sens
never or not yet used
Collocations
unused ticket
|unused funds
|unused vacation days
|unused sick leave
|unused portion
Synonymes
remaining (Focuses on what is left over, not specifically on the idea of never having been used.)
Antonymes
used (Means already taken, spent, or employed, so no longer completely available.)

Erreur fréquente :
Learners often write "not used to" when they mean this sense, which is correct but uses a different structure: "be not used to [something]" vs. "be unused to [something]." Both are grammatical, but "unused to" is more formal and less common in everyday speech. Do not confuse this with "used to do" (past habit), which has a different meaning and grammar.
Sens
not accustomed to something
Collocations
unused to the cold
|unused to criticism
|unused to public speaking
|unused to working nights
Synonymes
unaccustomed (A slightly more formal word; otherwise very close in meaning to "unused" in this sense.)
