adjective C1 property
1

impossible or very hard to understand

Not possible or very hard to understand, usually because the sound or words are not clear.

استعمال کا انداز: [something] is unintelligible (to [someone])
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes confuse "unintelligible" with "unintelligent". "Unintelligible" describes speech, writing, or sounds that cannot be understood; it does NOT mean a person is not smart. Also, some learners say *"un-understandable"* instead; the natural word is "unintelligible" or "unintelligible to me".

متضاد الفاظ
intelligible (Direct technical opposite; means able to be understood.) | clear (Focuses on being easy to hear or understand without effort.)

not mutually understandable (of languages)

Used for a language or way of speaking that people who speak another language or dialect cannot understand at all.

استعمال کا انداز: [language/dialect] is unintelligible to [group]
عام غلطی:
Learners may not realize this is a somewhat technical use, common in linguistics when talking about relationships between languages. In everyday speech, people more often say a language is "hard to understand" or "I can't understand it" rather than "it is unintelligible".
ہم معنی الفاظ
not mutually intelligible (More explicit technical phrase in linguistics; often used in descriptions of language relationships.) | incomprehensible (Broader word that can also apply; less precise for technical linguistic use.)
متضاد الفاظ
mutually intelligible (Technical opposite in linguistics; describes languages whose speakers can understand each other without prior study.)
