not in use right now

Not being used at that time, especially when it could be used.

Padron ng paggamit: an unused [room/space/item/resource]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes say "not used room" instead of "unused room." Use "unused" before a noun (e.g., "an unused ticket") and "not used" after a verb (e.g., "The ticket was not used").
Mga kasingkahulugan
idle (Suggests not in use or not active, sometimes with a negative feel of being wasted.)
Mga kasalungat
occupied (Describes something that is currently being used or taken by someone.)

never or not yet used

Not used before, or not used yet, so it is still all there or still new.

Padron ng paggamit: unused [tickets/money/time/leaves/items]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners sometimes confuse "unused" with "new" and "unopened." "Unused" means nothing has been used yet, but the thing might not be brand-new (for example, an unused ticket from last year). For money or days off, do not say "not used money" or "not used vacation"; say "unused money" or "unused vacation days."
Mga kasingkahulugan
remaining (Focuses on what is left over, not specifically on the idea of never having been used.)
Mga kasalungat
used (Means already taken, spent, or employed, so no longer completely available.)
Mga kolokasyon

  • The company returned the unused funds to the client at the end of the project.
  • I still have three days of unused vacation from last year.

not accustomed to something

Not used to something, so it feels strange or hard.

Padron ng paggamit: be unused to [something/doing something]
Karaniwang pagkakamali:
Learners often write "not used to" when they mean this sense, which is correct but uses a different structure: "be not used to [something]" vs. "be unused to [something]." Both are grammatical, but "unused to" is more formal and less common in everyday speech. Do not confuse this with "used to do" (past habit), which has a different meaning and grammar.
Mga kasingkahulugan
unaccustomed (A slightly more formal word; otherwise very close in meaning to "unused" in this sense.)
Mga kasalungat
accustomed (Means familiar with something because it happens often or has happened for a long time.)
