Note: These are regular inflections; no irregularities for these words.

Russian Synonyms/Antonyms:

• Synonyms: рациональный (more scientific connotation), обоснованный (well-founded)
• Antonyms: нелогичный (illogical), иррациональный (irrational; differs from нелогичный by implying emotion over reason)

Usage Notes:

"Логический" directly corresponds to the formal, analytical sense of "{{logical}}", making it ideal for academic or professional English translations. In contrast, "разумный" aligns more with everyday English uses like "sensible" or "rational," and is preferred in informal speech. Be cautious with context: in Russian, adjectives must agree in gender, number, and case with the nouns they modify, which differs from English. For multiple translations, choose based on formality—use "логический" for precise logical reasoning and "разумный" for broader practicality.

Common Errors:

• Error: Using "логический" interchangeably with "разумный" without considering context. For example, learners might say "разумный аргумент" when "логический аргумент" is more appropriate for a strictly reasoned argument.

  Correct: Логический аргумент (Logical argument). Explanation: "Разумный" implies sensibility rather than strict logic, leading to potential miscommunication.

• Error: Forgetting adjective agreement, e.g., saying "логический женщина" instead of "логическая женщина" (for feminine noun).

  Correct: Логическая женщина. Explanation: Russian requires adjectives to match the noun's gender, so always check the noun's form first.

Cultural Notes:

In Russian culture, words like "логический" often tie into the historical emphasis on philosophy and science, influenced by figures like Tolstoy or Soviet-era education. "Разумный" reflects a pragmatic approach in daily life, aligning with Russian proverbs that value common sense over abstract logic, such as in folk wisdom emphasizing practical decision-making.
