not suitable for a use or purpose

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

รูปแบบการใช้: [something] is unfit for [purpose/group]
ข้อผิดพลาดที่พบบ่อย:
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 strong or healthy enough, especially for sports or exercise.

คำพ้องความหมาย
