文法句型

inalienable + noun (especially right/rights/part/quality)

用法筆記

Almost always used attributively (before a noun). Most commonly paired with right or rights in legal, political, and philosophical contexts. The noun it modifies is typically an abstract entitlement or attribute, not a physical object.

常見錯誤

The government violated our inalienable right to freedom.
inalienable describes the right or entitlement itself, not the thing being taken away.

inalienable is only used for rights, qualities, or entitlements, not for problems, objects, or situations.
