"unsafe" vs. "not safe" | UsingEnglish.com ESL Forum
June 12, 2011 - ' It is, however, safe for some. and "The stock market is unsafe for everyone." It is dangerous for all. Click to expand... Compare: Not everyone likes chocolate.......Everyone dislikes chocolate. ... You've stated the difference well. And you've compared it to "dislike" versus "not like," which I think works. Is there any way to make sense of why we know "not safe" means something different from "unsafe" in this context and why we know "dislike" can mean something different from "not like"?

r/backrooms on Reddit: What's the difference between unsafe and unsecure?
January 16, 2024 -

Hi! I'm new to this community, and I have seen that many levels are classified as "unsafe" and "unsecure".

To clarify, English is not my native language, that's why I have the question

Because in my language (Spanish), at least to my English knowledge for translation, both are translated to the same word (inseguro).

So what refers to unsafe and what to unsecure?

(Marked as discussion because there isn't a mark for question, which is what I have, and that's the closest to it)
