Impossible to explain or understand
Not possible to explain or understand; with no clear reason.
استعمال کا انداز:
[something] is unaccountable
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "unaccountable" with "uncountable." "Unaccountable" means something cannot be explained, while "uncountable" is used in grammar for nouns like "water" and means you cannot count individual units. Learners may also think it means "not counted," but that is not the usual meaning.

Not answerable or responsible to others
Not having to explain or justify your actions to another person or group; not under their control.
استعمال کا انداز:
[someone/something] is unaccountable to [someone/a group]
عام غلطی:
Learners may mix this sense with the "impossible to explain" meaning. When followed by "to" (unaccountable to the public), it usually means "not responsible or answerable." When used with "reason" (for some unaccountable reason), it means "impossible to explain." Learners also sometimes use the wrong preposition, saying *"unaccountable for the voters"* when they mean "unaccountable to the voters." Use "to" for the person or group you should answer to, and "for" for specific actions or results.
