Usage notes[edit]

  • (not the same): Depending on dialect, time period, and register, the adjective different (not the same) may be construed with one of the prepositions from, to, and than, or with the subordinating conjunction than. Pleasure is different from/than/to happiness. It’s different than (or from what) I expected. Of these, from is more common in formal registers than in informal ones; than is more common in the US than elsewhere; and to is more common in the UK, in Australia, and in New Zealand than in the US. Style guides often advocate different from, by analogy with differ from rather than *differ than or *differ to, and proscribe different than and different to.

Synonyms[edit]

  • (not the same): other; See also Thesaurus:different
  • (various): sundry; See also Thesaurus:assorted
  • (distinct): apart, distinct; See also Thesaurus:separate
  • (unlike most others): aberrant, deviant, nonstandard; See also Thesaurus:strange

[Middle English, from Old French, from Latin differēns, different-, present participle of differre, to differ; see differ.]


dif′fer·ent·ly adv.

dif′fer·ent·ness n.

Usage Note: The phrases different from and different than are both common in British and American English. The British also use the construction different to. Since the 18th century, language critics have singled out different than as incorrect when used before nouns and noun phrases, though it is well attested in the works of reputable writers. Traditionally, from is used when the comparison is between two persons or things: My book is different from [not than] yours. Note that noun phrases, including ones that have clauses in them, also fall into this category: The campus is different from the way it was the last time you were here. The Usage Panel is divided on the acceptability of different than with nouns and noun phrases, with a majority finding several of these constructions unacceptable. In our 2004 survey, 57 percent rejected the use of different than with a gerund in the sentence Caring for children with disabilities in a regular child-care setting is not new and, in many cases, is not particularly different than caring for other children. Roughly the same percentage (55) disapproved of the construction with a noun phrase containing a clause in The new kid felt that the coach’s treatment of him was different than that of the other players who were on the team last year. Some 60 percent rejected the sentence New York seemed very different than Rome, where they’d been on good terms. There should be no complaint, however, when the object of comparison is expressed by a full clause: The campus is different than it was twenty years ago.

different

(ˈdɪfərənt; ˈdɪfrənt)

adj

1. partly or completely unlike

2. not identical or the same; other: he always wears a different tie.

3. out of the ordinary; unusual

ˈdifferently adv

ˈdifferentness n

Usage: The constructions different from, different to, and different than are all found in the works of writers of English during the past. Nowadays, however, the most widely acceptable preposition to use after different is from. Different to is common in British English, but is considered by some people to be incorrect, or less acceptable. Different than is a standard construction in American English, and has the advantage of conciseness when a clause or phrase follows, as in this result is only slightly different than in the US. As, however, this idiom is not regarded as totally acceptable in British usage, it is preferable either to use different from: this result is only slightly different from that obtained in the US or to rephrase the sentence: this result differs only slightly from that in the US

dif•fer•ent

(ˈdɪf ər ənt, ˈdɪf rənt)

adj.

1. not alike in character or quality; differing; dissimilar.

2. not identical; separate or distinct: three different answers.

3. various; several: Different people told me the same story.

4. not ordinary; unusual.

[1350–1400; Middle English < Anglo-French < Latin]

dif′fer•ent•ly, adv.

dif′fer•ent•ness, n.

usage: Although it is frequently claimed that different should be followed only by from, not by than, in actual usage both words have occurred for at least 300 years and are standard in all varieties of spoken and written American English. From is more common today in introducing a phrase, but than is also used: New York speech is different from (or than) that of Chicago.Than is usually used to introduce a clause: The stream followed a different course than the map showed. In sentences of this type, when from is used instead of than, more words are necessary: a different course from the one the map showed. In British English to frequently follows different: The early sketches are very different to the later ones. different in the sense “unusual” is well established in all but the most formal American English: The décor in this theater is really different.

Were the children going to bed at regular times, or did they go to bed at different times during the week?

Ложатся ли дети спать в одно и то же время или в разное время в течение недели?

The data showed that those children who were going to bed at different times were more likely to have behavioral problems, and then those that switched to having regular bedtimes often showed an improvement in behavior, and that was really crucial, because it suggested it was the bedtime routines that were really helping things get better for those kids.

И данные показали, что те, кто ложился спать в разное время, чаще имели проблемы с поведением, но, переключаясь на ежедневный режим, они часто показывали улучшение в поведении, и это крайне важно, так как это предполагает, что правильный режим действительно помогает детям становиться лучше.
