I'm looking for a term to characterise things which should be repaired. I am also looking for an antonym to go with it.
Imagine I have two boxes, one with phones which should be repaired and the second with others. I have to label each box with a single short word because the boxes are very small.
Repairable does not work because it describes things which can be repaired. So what are your recommendations?
Best Answer
Broken.
For the other box, working.
If you are in the USA, you'll want something more complicated sounding. So: inoperative. Operative.
