allowed by rules or standards
Allowed by a law, rule, or normal standards; not forbidden.
Padrão de uso:
[something] is permissible
Erro comum:
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.

|
