Nota d'usoQuesti tre aggettivi vengono spesso confusi, anche dai madrelingua stessi. L'aggettivo restful significa “rilassante”: two weeks' restful holiday, una rilassante vacanza di due settimane. Restive non significa “riposante”, ma “irrequieto, agitato”: The audience became restive as the beginning of the show was delayed still further, il pubblico divenne agitato quando l'inizio dello spettacolo venne ritardato ulteriormente. L'aggettivo restless significa “ansioso, irrequieto, turbato”: He spent a restless night, tossing and turning as he worried about the problems of the day, trascorse una notte insonne rigirandosi nel letto mentre pensava ai problemi della giornata; I become restless if I stay in the same job for too long, divento irrequieto se faccio lo stesso lavoro per troppo tempo. -
