Käännökset

englanti

epätodennäköinen Not likely; improbable; not to be reasonably expected.

Its very unlikely that you'll be able to walk perfectly after being in a cast for six months.''

1895, H. G. Wells, The Time Machine Chapter X

Not holding out a prospect of success; likely to fail; unpromising.

unlikely means

In an improbable manner.
Something or somebody considered unlikely.
1980, Robert K. Lindsay, Applications of artificial intelligence for organic chemistry

1996, Laurie R. King, To Play the Fool
"Here is my every possible phone number, plus a few unlikelies. And I've also put down the numbers of Karin and Wade, in case you've lost them. Karin can come anytime; Wade, up until six in the morning."
2001, Jack Canfield, Mark Victor Hansen, Marci Shimoff, Chicken soup for the mothers soul 2'' (page 166)
Then the most unlikely of unlikelies happened. We got another phone call. Another woman wanted to give us a baby—a boy, born just that morning. We walked into a hospital, and he was placed into my arms.
