What’s the difference between “noticeable“ and “notable“?

**Noticeable vs Notable 🎯** These two words might seem similar at first glance, but they convey quite different meanings. Let’s break it down: ✅ Noticeable - easily seen or noticed; clear or apparent. 🔸 His new haircut was noticeable - he had gone from long hair to a buzz cut. 🔸 The difference in quality after the repairs was noticeable. 🔸 I’m going to turn it down another couple of degrees to see if there’s any noticeable difference. (The Guardian) 🔸 Is there anything noticeable about the student’s mood (very changeable moods, tearful, very tired)? (The Guardian) ✅ Notable - worthy of attention or notice; remarkable. 🔸 The scientist made several notable contributions to the field of astrophysics. 🔸 She received an award for her notable performance in the championship. 🔸 Fray Bentos is notable today for its status as a regional capital and the museum. (The Guardian) 🔸 It’s notable that EastEnders, the swaggering queen of soaps du jour, is attracting such big stars it can afford to waste them on a cameo. (The Guardian – TV and Radio) In short, if something stands out or is easily seen, it’s “noticeable.“ If it’s significant or remarkable, it’s “notable.“ Keep practicing your vocabulary, and these differences will become more ’noticeable’ and ’notable’! 😉 #englishlearning #wordoftheday #vocabulary #noticeable #notable #TOEFL #IELTS #FCE
