    It seems the 3 are connected with each other. Capability is the combine or combination of ability and capacity.

    • @CozyGrammar

      Nicely seen! Yes, the words "capability" and "ability" both end in "ability," which has to do with "being able." Interestingly, the "ca" in "capability" comes from a different root than the "ca" in "capacity," hence the slight differences in meaning we were talking about here. I commend your attentiveness! It will serve you well in your exploration of words and language.

    Bro, can u answer my comment: "ability = can do, capacity = limit, capability = broke limit" Is my understanding correct?

    • @CozyGrammar
      @CozyGrammar  Рік тому

      That's a great way to put it! I'm assuming that by "capability = broke limit" you mean the ability to "go for broke" or to break past old limits to do something seen as difficult or unusual. Which is, in fact, what you have just done yourself. Congratulations, and all good wishes to you!

      Thanks for your wishes @@CozyGrammar but i still don't know "what is capacity mean?", is capacity = limit of abilities?

    • @CozyGrammar
      @CozyGrammar  Рік тому +1

      @@username1267 Yes, exactly. It refers to how much a person can carry out. For instance, one person may have a great capacity for languages, while another person may have a great capacity for music. I hope that helps!
