Definition of transitive in English:

transitive

adjectiveˈtrɑːnsɪtɪvˈtranzɪtɪvˈtransɪtɪvˈtrɑːnzɪtɪv

1Grammar
(of a verb or a sense or use of a verb) able to take a direct object (expressed or implied), e.g. saw in he saw the donkey.
〔语法〕及物的。INTRANSITIVE 的反义词
The opposite of intransitive
Example sentencesExamples
- A grammar of Japanese will tell you that a transitive verb is positioned after its object, not before, because you couldn't guess that if no one told you.
- The first part of the utterance seems to be in English, except for the verb rub which has been given the Tok Pisin suffix - im, which marks transitive verbs.
- However, some transitive verbs take a prepositional phrase instead of an indirect object.
- But it is the rare transitive use of the verb, with the action sent on to an object, that catches the attention of philologists.
- Furthermore, the verbs are usually transitive, though occasionally they are used intransitively with a preposition like for, of, or about introducing the object.
2Mathematics Logic
(of a relation) such that, if it applies between successive members of a sequence, it must also apply between any two members taken in order. For instance, if A is larger than B, and B is larger than C, then A is larger than C.
〔逻，数〕（关系）可递的，可迁的，传递的
Example sentencesExamples
- He also considered permutation groups of small degree, groups having a small number of conjugacy classes, multiply transitive groups, and characteristic subgroups of finite groups.
- The reason for this consequence is that identity is a transitive relation: that is to say, if a is identical with b and b is identical with c, then, of necessity, a is identical with c.
- When most individuals in the group differ in size, stable dominance relationships generally yield transitive hierarchies consistent with size.
- The transitive property of equality says that if a = b and b = c, then a = c.
- I glanced at Nick, who nodded, and the teacher went back to droning on and on about the transitive property in Geometry: easily the most boring class of the day.

Derivatives

transitively

adverbˈtransɪtɪvliˈtranzɪtɪvli

In this instance ‘is’ speaks transitively and means approximately ‘gathered together,’ ‘collected.’
Example sentencesExamples
- In these examples, the meaning of the verb does not change whether it is used transitively or intransitively.
- Many verbs that are usually intransitive are also used transitively in Greek.
- Like most English prepositions, near can be used either transitively (with a noun-phrase complement) or intransitively (without a complement).
- The available evidence thus does not make it clear that this verb can be used transitively, the ‘it’ of ‘suffice it to say’ not being particularly referential.

transitiveness

noun

Spheres can be related to each other as parents, children or siblings; the transitiveness of the relationship properties also creates ancestral and descendant relations.
Example sentencesExamples
- Per se the question of transitiveness belongs to the idea of the verb itself, not to that of voice.
- Where transitiveness results from the substantial meaning (like seeing), it seems to presume a subject complement.
- The assumption of transitiveness needs to be mentioned as well.
- It is straightforward, for example, to describe arbitrary patterns of transitiveness, functionality, etc., in Common Logic.

transitivity

nountransəˈtɪvətitranzəˈtɪvəti

Strengthening is a special case of transitivity, in which the missing premise is a tautology: if C & A then A; if A, B; so if C & A, B.
Example sentencesExamples
- One can determine to what degree cliques are present by measuring the amount of clustering, also sometimes referred to as transitivity.
- As children solidly learn the transitivity status of particular verbs, they become more reluctant to use those verbs in other argument structure constructions.
- I especially like the discussions of behavioral economics, transitivity, endowment effects, and the like.
- You can't have a classification without an equivalence relation, and one of the three defining properties of an equivalence relation is transitivity.

Origin

Mid 16th century (in the sense 'transitory'): from late Latin transitivus, from transit- 'gone across' (see transit).

A transitive verb.
Example sentencesExamples

- Are transitives conjoined with intransitives bad?
- Antitransitive verbs are derived from the transitives by rules which are similar to those used for the derivation of transitives from intransitives.
- In the past tense configuration, however, the Pashto agreement system is ergative: verb - subject agreement with intransitives, but verb - object agreement with transitives.
