comprehensive

what it means

Comprehensive means it already covers everything, so there is nothing left for you to add. A comprehensive report answers the question you were about to ask. A comprehensive insurance policy is the one where you do not have to check the small print for the thing that just happened. It is built from the same root as comprehend — to take hold of — and that is the picture: one grip closing around the whole of a thing, not a corner of it. Careful with its near-twin. Comprehensible means it can be understood. A comprehensive explanation covers it all; a comprehensible one you can follow — and a long comprehensive report is often not comprehensible at all.

Comprehensive significa que ya lo cubre todo: no queda nada que añadir. Un informe comprehensive responde la pregunta que ibas a hacer. Ojo con su gemela: comprehensible es «que se entiende». Un informe comprehensive muy largo puede no ser nada comprehensible.

Comprehensive quer dizer que já cobre tudo: não sobra nada para você acrescentar. Um relatório comprehensive responde à pergunta que você ia fazer. Cuidado com a parecida: comprehensible é "que dá para entender". Um relatório comprehensive bem longo pode não ser nada comprehensible.

Comprehensive veut dire que tout est déjà couvert : il ne vous reste rien à ajouter. Un rapport comprehensive répond à la question que vous alliez poser. Attention au faux jumeau : comprehensible signifie « qu'on peut comprendre ». Un rapport comprehensive très long n'est souvent pas comprehensible du tout.

Comprehensive berarti semuanya sudah tercakup — tidak ada lagi yang perlu Anda tambahkan. Laporan yang comprehensive menjawab pertanyaan yang baru mau Anda ajukan. Hati-hati dengan kembarannya: comprehensible artinya "bisa dipahami". Laporan comprehensive yang panjang sering justru tidak comprehensible.

Comprehensive, her şeyin zaten kapsandığı demektir; eklemenize bir şey kalmaz. Comprehensive bir rapor, sormak üzere olduğunuz soruyu yanıtlar. İkiziyle karıştırmayın: comprehensible "anlaşılabilir" demektir. Upuzun bir comprehensive rapor çoğu zaman hiç comprehensible değildir.

comprehensive は「もう全部入っている」という意味です。comprehensive な報告書は、こちらが聞こうとしていた質問にすでに答えています。よく似た comprehensible(=理解できる)とは別物です。長大な comprehensive の報告書が、まったく comprehensible でないこともよくあります。
