Schema d'uso:
[something] is permissible
Errore comune:
Learners sometimes confuse "permissible" with "permissive". "Permissible" means something is allowed by rules or standards. "Permissive" describes a person or system that allows too much freedom or is not strict. Learners may also overuse "permissible" in casual speech, where "okay" or "allowed" would sound more natural.
Sinonimi

acceptable (More general and common; can refer to what people like, not only what rules or laws allow.)
|
admissible (Often used in legal or formal contexts, especially for evidence or information that can be used officially.)
Contrari
