    There is no difference between the two words when applied to people. Both mean «lacking in experience.»

    However, «unexperienced» can also be used to refer to things, to mean «untried.» You cannot use «inexperienced» in that case.

    Hope this helps. :)

    Hi Elroy,

    Yes your explanation makes perfect sense to me. Thank you very much. OM

    Sorry Elroy, but ‘Inexperience’ means that you haven’t got enough experience for example in a job or a particular area of a job. Its lack of knowledge. We do not use the word ‘unexperience’ and looking in the Oxford Dictionary, it is not there.

    Hope this helps.

    I am fully aware of what «inexperience» means, and of the fact that «unexperience» is not a word. The words in question were «inexperienced» and «unexperienced.» The latter is indeed a word, as evidenced by this entry from Webster’s Revised Unabridged Dictionary. I’m sure the Oxford concurs.

    Hope everything is clear now.

    :eek: Elroy!! I’m not short-sighted :eek: Look, I believe what you said, and I checked that link. The fact is that your link is the only place where I’ve seen the word «unexperienced». At school I was taught «inexperienced» and all the dictionaries I have say «inexperienced». So all right, I won’t say that does not exist, but maybe «inexperienced» is more used than the other.

    I don’t know, we have to trust dictionaries… or… well sometimes, who knows?? :p

    I’ve never heard the word «unexperienced» before, but then again I’m always surprised by the number of things I don’t know! :)

    I agree with kens; I’ve never heard of the word «unexperienced» but then again that might just be ignorance on my part.

    • #13

    It seems this word is one that would take some getting used to for us English speakers. I do understand the meaning, though, and correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the prefix «un» can be put to just about any word to make a negative. Unexperienced would be something that has not been experienced. An unusual word, I agree.

    This is what my American Heritage dictionary says about un:

    un— 1. Indicates not or contrary to; for example, unhappy. Note: Many compounds other than those entered here may be formed with un-.

    Unexperienced is definitely a word.

    Maybe it is only used in American English.

    I doubt that it is used only in America. I agree 100% with elroy and I don’t think any English speaker would have much trouble with the word unexperienced in a suitable context.

    I suspected that this word is like lots of words. When seen alone, out of context, it seems a little strange, but if you heard someone say something like, »for me that certainly was a hitherto unexperienced emotion», you wouldn’t think it odd at all on either side of the pond.

    Googling the word is rather revealing. First, it looks to me as if 99% of the uses of

    unexperienced

    that Google finds are really incorrect. That is, the writer should have written

    inexperienced

    . On the other hand, Google does reveal some interesting legitimate uses of the word. In particularly, it appears often in the psychiatric literature in sentences such as the following from an article in the American Journal of Psychotherapy.

    Catastrophic knowledge of severe trauma is unexperienced experience that paradoxically stands for an indescribable core of an event that undermines self-in-relation and the concomitant capacities for language, narrative, and knowledge.

    But Googling also will lead you to people who think that there is no such thing as an »unexperienced experience.» :) Off hand I feel inclined to side with them.

    I agree, but only if I may add that they are not interchangeable. Unexperienced is, I believe, born of common present day usage in the small context (untried) you described. You say one cannot use «inexperienced» in that case. Then let’s also say you could not use unexperienced for lack of knowledge or practice, as in the case of a job.

    Do you agree?

    The NEW OXFORD Dictionary
    OF ENGLISH

    in-1
    prefix
    :arrow: *(added to adjectives) not: infertile | inapt.

    :arrow: *(added to nouns)without; a lack of: inappreciation.

    ORIGIN from Latin.
    USAGE: In- is also found assimilated in the following forms: il- before l; im- before b, m, p; ir- before r.

    un-1
    prefix
    :arrow: *(added to adjectives, participles, and their derivatives) denoting the absence of a quality or state; not: unabashed | unacademic | unrepeatable.

    :arrow: the reverse of (usually with an implication of approval or disapproval, or with another special connotation): unselfish | unprepossessing | unworldly.

    :arrow: (added to nouns) a lack of: unrest | untruth.

    ORIGIN Old English, of Germanic origin; from an Indo-European root shared by Latin in- and Greek a-.
    USAGE: The prefixes un- and non- both mean ‘not’, but there is often a distinction in terms of emphasis. un- tends to be stronger and less neutral than non-: consider the differences between unacademic and non-academic, for example (his language was refreshingly unacademic; a non-academic life suits him).

    So it seems that it could be both, since «un» and «in» denote «lack of».
    Now, why is it Unimportant and not inimportant or why uncomfortable and not incomfortable or why inexperienced and «not(?)» unexperienced??? Who knows this? :confused: :) :confused:

    You can add a prefix like un or in to a word to be understood, but sometimes you are also inventing a word. Can I say I am inworried about doing that, or must I say unworried? uncaring, incaring… it’s not a good enough argument to say the prefix means x, the word means y and therefore it’s correct.

    • #21

    I happen to find «unexperienced» in both the Oxford and the Webster’s dictionaries, so that we have to agree with Elroy. Whether you can find a word in a dictionary or not often depends on the size of your dictionary. If it is a smaller one, you cannot be sure the word does not exist. You have to check an unabridged edition.

    Hi Sergio!! :) I have biggg unabridged dictionaries and I couldn’t find it.

    Not even in the American Heritage (8652 pages!!!). Now, the dictionaries where I found this word (in my case) happen to be those «on-line» dictionaries mentioned by our fellow foreños.

    Crickey, what a long thread! Who said that linguists are the biggest pedants of them all?!

    While I have never used the word unexperienced, it certainly does exist and has done since at least 1569. The entry in the OED (Oxford English Dictionary) has as follows:

    UNEXPERIENCED

    1. Not furnished with, or taught by, experience; not skilled or trained in this way.

    1569 T. UNDERDOWN Ovid’s Invect. Ibis Pref. Avjb, If you wil bear with mine vnexperienced iudgemente. 1608 WILLET Hexapla Exod. 273 No man will commit his..bodie to an vnexperienced physitian. 1678 OTWAY Friendship in F.

Lavater’s Physiog. i. 16 Shades scarcely discernible to an unexperienced eye. 1822 CHISHOLM in Good Study Med. (1829) II. 213 Let the young and unexperienced practitioner guard himself against it. 1860 A. L. WINDSOR Ethica iii. 146 An unexperienced hand might have expected [etc.].

    b. Const. in.

    2. Not known or felt by experience.

    By the way, the OED entry for inexperienced reads as follows:

    INEXPERIENCED

    Not experienced; without experience; having no (or little) experience; lacking the knowledge or skill derived from experience. Const. in.

    1626 GOUGE Serm. Dign. Chivalry §18 Such as for want of former exercising were altogether inexperienced. 1776-96 WITHERING Brit. Plants (ed. 3) I. 116 The inexperienced botanist is not likely to encounter them at the commencement of his progress. 1856 KANE Arct. Expl. I. xvi. 193 We were not inexperienced in sledging over the ice.

    Hence inexperiencedness Obs. rare, the state or quality of being inexperienced.

    1725 BAILEY Erasm. Colloq. (1877) 318 (D.) The damsel has three things to plead in her excuse: the authority of her parents, the persuasion of her friends, and the inexperiencedness of her age.

    I very reluctantly have another post to add to this thread, but after getting this far I can’t leave it here feeling we didn’t make that much progress. So here goes:

    Does the confirmation that they are both in some dictionary somewhere mean anything? Does the fact that one is in every dictionary and the other had eluded us for nearly two dozen posts (previously unfound or infound, I wonder…)? Does the newly unearthed dictionary entry answer the question about the similarity or difference in the meaning of the two words?

    • #29

    Well, Artrella, my Webster’s is a very old one, the «Webster’s New International Dictionary» (2620 pages) from 1927, which I bought for 5 dollars at a library sale, and my Oxford is the «Oxford Universal Dictionary» from 1955 (2515 pages), which I bought for 3 dollars at the same library sale. My Oxford is not unabridged: it is clearly presented as an abridgement in the Preface. So if you were too picky, you could argue that these are obsolete dictionaries with obsolete words. When I need to check words that are not in any of these dictionaries, I go to the public library and check them in the latest Oxford English Dictionary. And you are right in that it is not found in the American Heritage Dictionary, which is the first one I usually check, because I find it easier to use and the typeface is more pleasant to my eye.

    Yes, it sounds weird to me too…but it is a word. It was the same with «belatedly» and «frenziedly» — I would never use those in everyday speech, and at first I thought they weren’t words. But indeed, they are! :D
