Can you be disinterested and keen to something simultaneously?

Answer 1

Yes

Answer 2

Yes, because you are mistaking "disinterested" for "uninterested".

Disinterested means you have no interest in the sense that the outcome of something does not have a financial benefit to you. Uninterested means you don't care or have no enthusiasm for something.

For instance, I can be keen to coach my son's hockey team, but I am doing it as a volunteer, with no payment or benefit--therefore I am disinterested.

Or I can be keen to answer a question here, even though whether the asker accepts my answer or not means little to my day to day life.

Answer 3

I would think so. Being "KEEN" means; sharp or eager- DISINTERESTED means; to regard something with no interest or concern.

So, a disiterested in answering your question- I am keen to respond in my reply.
