inolvidable
adjective: unforgettable
-
Many languages create new words by adding to more basic words. English adds -able to ‘forget’ to make ‘forgettable’, and then makes it negative by putting un- in front. Spanish does something similar with in-olvid-able, which derives from olvidar, to forget.
Fue una experiencia
inolvidable . It was an unforgettable experience. -
In the same way, from the verb envidiar, to envy, you can derive envidiable, enviable.
Fue una experiencia
inolvidable . It was an unforgettable experience.Goza de una saludenvidiable . She is enviably healthy. -
What is the adjective you derive from the verb desechar, to dispose of?
