unrelated

adjective (unrelated)

«unrelated» in the English dictionary: everyday — its meanings, how the lessons use it, and examples, each with its tree on Mova.

Everyday

  1. Unrelated things have no link or connection with each other. tree →
  2. Unrelated people are not part of the same family. tree →

In the lessons

Used in science and maths to say two facts or numbers do not affect each other; in everyday talk to change topic («on an unrelated note»); in stories for strangers who look alike.

Examples

  • My headache is unrelated to the test; I just slept badly. tree →
  • The two fires were unrelated. tree →
  • Liam and Leo share a surname but are unrelated. tree →
  • On an unrelated note, who wants pizza? tree →
  • Ignore the unrelated information in the word problem. tree →
  • The teacher said the question was unrelated to today's lesson. tree →

Note

Often followed by «to»: unrelated to something. In maths word problems, unrelated numbers are distractors: do not use them in the sum.
