When any thing is in process turn to solid and yu see it before its peak the condition is SEMI SOLID. for example...When u see an Icecreame well before freezed...the condition we say 'semi-solid.
And when anything is in turn to liquid and the in process condition is semi liquid.

All 'semi's are mixtures. Aren't they? A semi solid will have a solid as its dispersed medium.
Eg: jelly
Dispersed phase : liquid
Dispersed medium :solid
Where as semi liquids have liquids as dispersed medium
Eg: shaving cream
Dispersed phase : gas
Dispersed medium:liquid
I'm not sure, though!

At first blush, there is no difference. But in practical usage I think the correct usage depends on the normal state of the material you are talking about. For example, water & ice.
If the discussion is about ice, then the default state of ice is solid. Thus, of melting ice, I don't think you would say it is semi-solid, but refer to it as semi-liquid. Likewise, to talk about water being frozen, I think you would tend to use the semi-solid rather than semi-liquid.

semi solid=state between solid and liquid
semi liquid=state between liquid and gas

In pure logical terms, semi-liquid can mean part liquid part gas, though I can't think of anything which fits that description - maybe water vapour or steam?

semi solid have cristalline structure :they cannot flow:semi liquids may or may not flow they have amorphous structure

Its the same to me, just like a cup of water. Half full or half empty.

Both mean the same thing.
