Usage note: sensible or sensitive?

[edit]

"I can appreciate your difficult situation": for this meaning, sensible is normally used to express formally emotional or intellectual awareness (e.g., I am sensible of your difficult situation). In a comparable use, sensitive is followed by to and denotes a tactful and sympathetic feelingg: He was always sensitive to their needs. JMGN (talk) 08:21, 7 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
