Meaning of flamable by furoya





furoya

flamable
  38

Although it does not exist in Spanish, it is used by influence of English rather than the correct flammable form ("which can be lit with fire") . The problem is not in flame ( "flame, fire") but in the prefix in- which in addition to "in , inside, content" also means "missing, removes"; that's why some misunderstand flammable as inflatable ("no flame, no fire").
