Hi there! I need your help.?

Question

I used the word 'unsatisfiable' in an essay. My teacher asked me to check out whether it exists. Can u help?

Answer 1

Hello there. Checked the Oxford English Dictionary for you, and I am afraid it is not in there. I would change the word "unsatisfiable" (whose meaning is perfectly lucid, by the way, so well done) in your essay to something like "never to be satisfied".
Here, have a silver star and a spangly hat for coining a neologism ;)

Answer 2

It sure is a word! It means:

adjective
not capable of being satisfied; "he knew the trap of unsatisfiable longing"

Answer 3

The word "Unsatisfiable" DOES NOT EXIST.

Try using a Thesaurus.

unsatisfactory

adjective
Below a standard of quality: bad, bum 1, poor. Idioms: below par, not up to scratch (or snuff). See good
Tending to discourage, retard, or make more difficult: adverse, disadvantageous, negative, unadvantageous, unfavorable, untoward.

Answer 4

I used WordReference.com and got these results..
Unsatisfiable: Impossible to satisfy..

Answer 5

unsatisfiable

adjective
not capable of being satisfied; "he knew the trap of unsatisfiable longing"

Answer 6

I have checked in two of my dictionaries and the word does not exist. You could say dissatisfy.

Answer 7

well, I wouldn't use it if it did (which I'm sure it doesn't). I would re-write the sentence to say undesirable, or inadequate, unsavory, unworthy, inept, deficient, etc.

Answer 8

I believe the word you're trying to use is "insatiable."

Answer 9

that's not a word. too many suffixes

Answer 10

try dissatisfactory
