non-derivable / non-deducible Explanation: Unfortunately, there's no context to explain what "sie" means (a woman, several people, several items, several words). HTH |

underivable, undeducible Explanation: INSTITUTE for ADVANCED STUDY Presents: WHAT IS "PROOF"?! - IN MATHEMATICS… In fact, even if one added the underivable "theorem" to the system of axioms, http://www.paias.com/pagesmat/proof.htm Max Weber Definition of Sociology "... laws apply always remains equally individual, equally undeducible from laws." http://www.marxists.org/reference/subject/philosophy/works/g... Hope it can help you. Best Regards, Serge Serge Roshchin [email protected] |

undistractable / can not be distracted Explanation: You posted this in the Art/Literary section, so I assume you are not looking for a technical or a law term. That's why I came up with this: '... sie sind unableitbar!' can also mean '... they can not be distracted!' (whether it refers to people or objects i.e. objects of art) See and do a find for 'distractable': http://ai.eecs.umich.edu/cogarch2/specific/guardian.html '... sie sind unableitbar!' can mean that they can not be distracted or disturbed. Or that they don't let themselves get distracted or disturbed. See for instance this picture and text of guards of Buckingham Palace who is 'undistractable': http://bas.scheffers.net/photo/london99/m_05-p-guard.jpg.htm... ableiten = ablenken = distract Hope this or one of the other posted answer helps :) Dictionaries, Internet, knowledge of german adn english, common sense |
