continuous; not interrupted
Going on without any stop or pause.
Padron ng paggamit:
an unbroken [period/line/sequence]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes use "unbroken" where "constant" or "all the time" would be more natural in speech, for example saying "unbroken rain" instead of the more common "constant rain". "Unbroken" is common with specific collocations like "unbroken sleep", "unbroken silence", and "unbroken line".
Mga kasingkahulugan
continuous (Almost the same meaning; more general, while "unbroken" can sound slightly more formal or emphatic.)
Mga kasalungat
interrupted (Describes something that has been stopped or broken in continuity.)

not violated; kept; maintained
Kept or not stopped, especially about rules, promises, or records.
Padron ng paggamit:
an unbroken [promise/record/ceasefire]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may not realize that "broken" and "unbroken" can describe promises, agreements, and records, not just physical objects. They might say "not stopped" or "not failed" instead of the more natural "unbroken record" or "unbroken ceasefire" in written or formal contexts.
Mga kasingkahulugan
kept (Less formal and more general; can apply to many things, while "unbroken" focuses on not being violated.)
Mga kasalungat
broken (In this context, refers to promises, records, or agreements that are not kept or are ended.)
Mga kolokasyon
unbroken promise
|unbroken record
|unbroken ceasefire
|unbroken tradition
|unbroken streak
|unbroken agreement

not trained or tamed (animal)
Not trained or used to people, especially a horse that no one has ridden yet.
Padron ng paggamit:
an unbroken [horse/colt]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners may confuse "unbroken horse" with a horse that is physically not broken or hurt. In this context, "unbroken" refers to training and taming, not to the animal's body.
Mga kasingkahulugan
untamed (Similar, but "untamed" can describe wild behavior in general, not only training for riding or work.)
Mga kasalungat
broken-in (Informal term for an animal, especially a horse, that has been trained to accept a rider or work.)
Mga kolokasyon
