Meaning: far

Illustrative Context

You can’t walk there in one day; it’s too far.

Target Sense

• The most generic word, typically adverbial, indicating considerable distance from a point of reference. The basic antonym of near — see also the IE-CoR definition for that meaning.
• Avoid adjectives, if different, e.g. distant, remote. (Some languages with large adjectival classes may derive words for ‘far’ from an adjective.)
• Avoid dedicated adpositions.
• Avoid compound expressions, e.g. far away, unless one such compound really has become the most basic term for ‘far’.
