MI-ni-muhl

释义

Very small in amount, degree, or size; only as much as is necessary.

用法与细微差别

Common in formal and descriptive contexts. Often used for requirements ('minimal effort'), design/style ('minimal look'), or resources ('minimal cost'). Not interchangeable with 'minimum' (the absolute lowest allowed); 'minimal' means as little as possible, but still more flexible.
