Uninhabited Meaning in English
word
Definition
A place that is uninhabited has no people living in it; it is empty of permanent residents.
Usage & Nuances
Used mostly for places (islands, buildings, regions) rather than for small objects. More formal than 'empty', and often found in descriptions of geography, nature, or property. Common collocations: 'uninhabited island', 'uninhabited house'. Not the same as 'abandoned' (which means people left, but it may still show signs of past human life).
