deserving attention; significant
Important, interesting, or unusual enough that people should notice it.
Padrão de uso:
a notable [noun]
Erro comum:
Learners sometimes confuse "notable" with "noticeable." "Notable" means important or worth attention because of its significance, while "noticeable" mainly means easy to see or detect. For example, a small but important difference can be "notable" even if it is not immediately "noticeable."
