C1 noun #2,500 가장 일반적인 12분 분량

applicable

When something is applicable, it means it fits well with a situation or person.

Think of it like a rule that makes sense to follow in a certain game.

It's about whether something is right or useful for what you are doing.

For example, a rule about wearing a coat is applicable when it's cold outside.

When something is applicable, it means it fits a situation well or is relevant to it. Imagine you have a rule for playing a game; if that rule works for the game you are currently playing, it's applicable. It's like saying a piece of information or a suggestion is suitable and can be used effectively for what you are doing. So, if something is applicable, it means it's a good fit for the circumstances.

When something is applicable, it means it's suitable or relevant to a particular situation. Think of it as fitting the circumstances perfectly.

For example, a specific rule might be applicable to one group of people but not to another.

It suggests that an idea or instruction has a direct and valid connection to what's happening or who it's for.

So, if a piece of advice is applicable, you can use it effectively in your current situation.

At the C1 CEFR level, understanding "applicable" as a noun involves recognizing its nuanced meaning in various formal and abstract contexts. It refers to something that is pertinent or suitable for a given situation, often implying a rule, condition, or piece of information that can be validly applied. This understanding extends to discerning when a particular criterion or regulation is relevant and when it is not. Furthermore, it encompasses the ability to use this term precisely when discussing the relevance or irrelevance of information, policies, or principles in complex discussions and analyses. Grasping this concept allows for more precise communication regarding the appropriateness and validity of different elements within a specific framework.

§ What Does it Mean?

DEFINITION
Something that is relevant, appropriate, or can be effectively used in a particular situation or for a specific person. It implies that a rule, law, or piece of information has a valid connection to the circumstances at hand.

The term "applicable" describes something that is pertinent, suitable, or valid for a given context, situation, or individual. When we say something is applicable, we mean it has a direct and practical bearing on the matter at hand. It's not just relevant in a general sense; it actively applies or can be put into effect. This word is crucial in formal and professional settings, especially when discussing rules, regulations, policies, or even advice.

Think of it as a filter: if a piece of information or a rule passes through the filter of a specific situation, it is "applicable." If it doesn't fit, it's not applicable. For instance, a dress code might be applicable to a formal event but not to a casual gathering. The nuances of its usage often revolve around whether a general principle or guideline holds true and is appropriate for a specific instance.

§ When Do People Use It?

People use "applicable" in a wide range of scenarios where precision and clarity about relevance are important. Here are some common contexts:

  • Legal and Regulatory Contexts: This is perhaps one of the most frequent domains for "applicable." Lawyers, judges, and government officials constantly refer to "applicable laws," "applicable regulations," or "applicable clauses" to determine which legal frameworks govern a particular case or situation.

The court will consider all applicable statutes before reaching a verdict.

  • Business and Policy Making: In the corporate world, "applicable policies," "applicable procedures," or "applicable terms and conditions" dictate how employees should behave, how processes should be followed, or what conditions apply to a contract. Managers use it to ensure that the correct guidelines are being followed for specific projects or departments.

Please refer to the company's applicable expense policy for travel reimbursements.

  • Academic and Research Settings: Researchers and academics use "applicable" to discuss which theories, methodologies, or findings are relevant to their specific study. For example, a scientific principle might be applicable to one field of study but not another.

The results of this animal study may not be directly applicable to human physiology.

  • Everyday Discussions and Advice: While more formal, "applicable" can also appear in everyday conversations, especially when giving advice or making decisions. You might hear someone say, "That advice isn't applicable to my situation."

I appreciate the suggestion, but that solution isn't applicable to our current technical setup.

The use of "applicable" often signals a need for careful consideration and tailoring. It prompts the listener or reader to evaluate whether a general statement or rule truly fits the specific circumstances being discussed. This makes it a powerful word for ensuring precision and avoiding misinterpretation.

In essence, "applicable" serves as a gatekeeper, determining which pieces of information, rules, or guidelines are allowed to pass through and influence a particular scenario. Its correct usage enhances clarity, avoids ambiguity, and ensures that discussions and decisions are grounded in relevant facts and principles.

§ What does 'applicable' mean?

Definition
Something that is relevant, appropriate, or can be effectively used in a particular situation or for a specific person. It implies that a rule, law, or piece of information has a valid connection to the circumstances at hand.

The word 'applicable' is a versatile term that describes something as relevant or appropriate to a particular situation. It signifies that a rule, law, guideline, or piece of information has a direct and valid connection to the circumstances being discussed. When something is applicable, it means it can be effectively put into practice or considered in a given context.

Before finalizing your travel plans, make sure the visa requirements are applicable to your nationality and destination.

§ Where you actually hear this word

'Applicable' is a common word in various formal and professional settings. You'll frequently encounter it in:

  • Work environments: In legal documents, project guidelines, policy manuals, and discussions about procedures.
  • Educational contexts: When discussing rules for assignments, academic regulations, or the relevance of theories to practical problems.
  • News and media: Especially in reports on legal matters, government policies, or scientific findings, where the scope and relevance of information are crucial.

§ 'Applicable' in different contexts

Workplace

In a professional setting, 'applicable' is often used to ensure that policies, regulations, or instructions are correctly followed. For instance, a manager might remind employees that certain company policies are 'applicable' to all staff members, or that a specific safety protocol is 'applicable' only to those working with particular machinery.

All employees must adhere to the dress code policy, which is applicable during working hours.

It's also common when discussing project requirements. A team might need to determine which set of industry standards is 'applicable' to their current project to ensure compliance and quality.

School/Academic

In academic contexts, 'applicable' is used to talk about the relevance of theories, concepts, or rules. A professor might discuss how a specific mathematical formula is 'applicable' to solving a particular type of problem, or how a historical event's lessons are still 'applicable' to contemporary issues.

The principles of classical physics are still applicable to understanding everyday phenomena.

Students often encounter this word when reading assignment instructions or academic guidelines. For example, a rubric might state that certain grading criteria are 'applicable' to essay assignments but not to laboratory reports.

News and Current Events

When reading or watching the news, 'applicable' frequently appears in reports concerning laws, regulations, and their impact. Journalists might discuss which sections of a new law are 'applicable' to different industries or how international treaties are 'applicable' to a country's foreign policy.

The new environmental regulations are applicable to all manufacturing plants operating within the city limits.

It's also used when discussing the relevance of scientific findings or research. For instance, a news report might highlight how a new medical discovery is 'applicable' to treating a specific disease.

§ Synonyms and related terms

  • Relevant: Closely connected or appropriate to what is being considered or done.
  • Appropriate: Suitable or proper in the circumstances.
  • Pertinent: Relevant or applicable to a particular matter; apposite.
  • Germane: Relevant to a subject under consideration.
  • Suitable: Right or appropriate for a particular person, purpose, or situation.

§ Common Misuse of "Applicable"

The word "applicable" is a valuable addition to a C1 learner's vocabulary, indicating relevance or suitability. However, its specific nuances can lead to common errors. Understanding these pitfalls will help you use it with greater precision.

§ Mistake 1: Confusing "Applicable" with "Apparent" or "Obvious"

One frequent mistake is to use "applicable" when the intended meaning is "obvious" or "apparent." While something applicable might also be obvious in certain contexts, the words are not interchangeable. "Applicable" focuses on relevance and usability, whereas "obvious" refers to something easily seen or understood.

Incorrect: The solution to the problem was applicable.

In this sentence, the speaker likely means the solution was clear or easy to understand, not necessarily relevant in the sense of fitting a specific situation.

Correct: The solution to the problem was obvious.

Correct: The new policy is applicable to all employees.

§ Mistake 2: Using "Applicable" When "Relevant" or "Appropriate" Would Be More Precise

While "applicable" is often synonymous with "relevant" or "appropriate," there are subtle differences. "Applicable" often suggests a more direct and sometimes legalistic connection, or the idea of something being put into practice. In casual conversation, "relevant" or "appropriate" might flow more naturally.

Incorrect: I think his comments are applicable to our discussion.

While not strictly wrong, "relevant" might sound more natural here, emphasizing the connection to the topic of discussion.

Correct: I think his comments are relevant to our discussion.

DEFINITION
Relevant: Closely connected or appropriate to what is being done or considered.

§ Mistake 3: Omitting the Preposition "to"

"Applicable" almost always requires the preposition "to" to specify what it is relevant or suitable for. Omitting "to" can make the sentence sound incomplete or grammatically incorrect.

Incorrect: The rule is applicable all situations.

Correct: The rule is applicable to all situations.

§ Mistake 4: Overusing "Applicable"

While a useful word, overusing "applicable" can make your writing sound repetitive or overly formal. Varying your vocabulary with synonyms like "relevant," "appropriate," "suitable," or "pertinent" can enhance the richness of your expression.

  • Relevant: Directly relating to the matter in hand.

  • Appropriate: Suitable or proper in the circumstances.

  • Suitable: Right or appropriate for a particular person, purpose, or situation.

  • Pertinent: Relating directly and significantly to the matter at hand; apposite.

By being mindful of these common mistakes, you can use "applicable" more effectively and accurately in your English communication.

§ Understanding 'Applicable'

The word "applicable" is often used to describe something that is relevant, appropriate, or can be effectively used in a particular situation or for a specific person. It implies that a rule, law, or piece of information has a valid connection to the circumstances at hand. It's a versatile word, but its precise meaning can sometimes overlap with other terms. Understanding these subtle differences is key to using "applicable" effectively and choosing the most precise word for your context.

§ Similar Words and Their Nuances

Let's explore some words that are similar to "applicable" and when to choose one over the others:

  • Relevant: This is perhaps the closest synonym to "applicable." Something that is relevant is closely connected or appropriate to what is being considered or discussed. While "applicable" often implies a more direct and practical use or consequence, "relevant" can be broader, simply indicating a connection of ideas or information.

The lawyer argued that the previous case's ruling was not applicable to the current situation due to differing circumstances.

When to use 'relevant'
Use 'relevant' when you want to emphasize a general connection or pertinence to a topic, discussion, or field of study, without necessarily implying direct utility or legal force. It can be more about intellectual connection.

All the data presented was relevant to understanding the market trends, even if not all of it was directly actionable.

  • Appropriate: This word emphasizes suitability and correctness in a given context, often in terms of social norms, ethical considerations, or established standards. Something appropriate is fitting and proper. While "applicable" focuses on whether something can be used or applies, "appropriate" focuses on whether it should be used or is right.
When to use 'appropriate'
Choose 'appropriate' when the emphasis is on fittingness, suitability, politeness, or adherence to norms and expectations. It's less about direct utility and more about being proper.

Wearing a suit and tie is considered appropriate attire for a formal business meeting.

  • Germane: This is a more formal synonym for "relevant" or "pertinent." It specifically means closely or significantly related; relevant to the subject under consideration. It often carries a slightly stronger sense of direct and important relevance than "relevant."
When to use 'germane'
Opt for 'germane' in formal contexts when you want to highlight that something is highly relevant and essential to the matter at hand, often in a debate or discussion.

The judge ruled that the defense's line of questioning was not germane to the case at hand and instructed them to move on.

  • Pertinent: Similar to "relevant" and "germane," "pertinent" means relevant or applicable to a particular matter; apposite. It often suggests a direct and clear bearing on the issue.
When to use 'pertinent'
Use 'pertinent' when you want to emphasize that something has a direct and significant bearing on the subject, providing useful or important information for consideration.

Please provide all pertinent documents for the visa application process.

  • Suitable: This word focuses on something being right or appropriate for a particular purpose, occasion, or person. It often implies a good fit or match. While "applicable" is about what can be applied, "suitable" is about what fits well.
When to use 'suitable'
Choose 'suitable' when the emphasis is on whether something is well-matched, appropriate, or acceptable for a specific role, person, or situation, often implying a degree of satisfaction or quality.

Finding a suitable candidate for the job proved to be more challenging than expected.

§ When to Choose 'Applicable'

You should specifically choose "applicable" when you want to convey that:

  • A rule, law, policy, or regulation has direct force or validity in a specific situation.
  • A principle, method, or piece of information can be practically applied or used to solve a problem or achieve a goal.
  • Something has a direct and practical bearing on a case, scenario, or individual, making it directly relevant to the outcome or decision.
  • There's a sense of mandate or necessity for something to be considered or followed in the given circumstances.

Before signing, please ensure all terms and conditions are applicable to your specific agreement.

In essence, while many words touch on the idea of relevance, "applicable" stands out when you need to emphasize direct utility, legal or procedural relevance, or the direct consequence of something being put into practice for a specific context.

Gerunds or infinitives after adjectives: Some adjectives, including "applicable," can be followed by a gerund (-ing form) or an infinitive (to + verb) to specify what the adjective applies to.

사용법

When using "applicable," ensure that the context clearly defines what the 'something' is that is applicable. It often precedes a noun (e.g., "applicable rules," "applicable law") or is used with a prepositional phrase (e.g., "applicable to this situation," "applicable for all employees"). It's frequently used in formal or legal contexts to indicate relevance or enforceability.

2. Redundancy with words like 'relevant' or 'appropriate': While similar, 'applicable' often implies a more direct and often formal connection or enforceability. Avoid phrases like "relevant and applicable rules" unless you intend to emphasize both aspects distinctly.

3. Incorrect prepositions: Common mistakes include using 'in' or 'on' when 'to' or 'for' are more appropriate. Incorrect: "This rule is applicable in this situation." Correct: "This rule is applicable to this situation." Or "This discount is applicable for members only."

자주 묻는 질문

10 질문

While both words suggest connection, 'applicable' often implies a more direct and practical fit. Something can be relevant to a discussion, but it might not be applicable to the specific problem being solved. 'Applicable' suggests that it can actually be put into use.

Yes, it can. For example, you might say, 'The scholarship is applicable to students studying STEM fields,' meaning those students meet the criteria and it's relevant to them.

Not always. While it's frequently used in legal or regulatory contexts (e.g., 'the applicable laws'), it can also refer to advice, methods, or solutions. For instance, 'This strategy is applicable to many business challenges.'

Common opposites include 'inapplicable,' 'irrelevant,' or 'unsuitable.' If something isn't applicable, it means it doesn't fit the situation or can't be used effectively.

You can use it like this: 'Please review the terms and conditions to see which sections are applicable to your situation.' Or, 'This safety protocol is applicable to all employees.'

They are very close in meaning and often interchangeable, but 'appropriate' can have a slightly broader sense of being suitable or fitting in a general way, including social contexts. 'Applicable' more strongly emphasizes the ability to be used or put into practice for a specific purpose.

It tends to be used in more formal or professional contexts, such as business, legal, or academic discussions. While you wouldn't typically use it in very casual conversation, it's not overly formal either.

Absolutely! For example, 'This software update includes bug fixes applicable to your operating system version.' Or, 'Are these security measures applicable to mobile devices?'

Something that is 'applicable' is often also 'valid' in the context it's being used. If a rule is applicable, it means it's valid for that situation. However, something can be valid (e.g., a general principle) without being specifically applicable to every single scenario.

While it's not part of many idioms, you'll frequently hear phrases like 'where applicable' (meaning 'if it applies to your situation') or 'as applicable' (which conveys the same idea). For example, 'Fill out this form, providing your address where applicable.'

Imagine you are a legal expert advising a client on a complex contractual dispute. Explain how the 'applicable' clauses of the contract will determine the outcome of the case. Focus on the nuances of legal interpretation.

Well written! Good try! Check the sample answer below.

Sample answer

In this intricate contractual dispute, the determination of the 'applicable' clauses is paramount to understanding the potential outcome. We must meticulously analyze the contract's governing law provision, as this dictates which legal system's statutes and precedents will be applied. Furthermore, the precise interpretation of each relevant clause, considering both its plain meaning and the parties' original intent, will be crucial. We'll also need to assess the applicability of any severability clauses, which can determine if an invalid part of the contract affects the rest. Ultimately, the enforceability of these applicable provisions, viewed through the lens of established legal principles, will dictate the rights and obligations of each party.
