Differenciate the flammable and inflammable?

Answer 1

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker

Flammable(adj): able to set on fire.
Inflammable(adj): easily set on fire.
So both means the same but "flammable" is often used because inflammable could be taken mistakenly to mean "not flammable". The negative of flammable is non-flammable.

hope this helped..
good luck

Answer 2

Flammable - Something which has the ability to burn..
Inflammable - Just opposite of the above..

Answer 3

Up until about 30 years ago flammable substances were often described as inflammable (as in the word 'inflame') but this was dangerous as sometimes people thought that inflammable meant 'non-flammable'.

The terms 'flammable' and 'non-flammable' are now used.

Answer 4

The meaning of inflammable is identical to that of flammable. A flammable substance is a substance which is easy to burn or ignite.
Something that is not flammable is called nonflammable.
