vielleicht?

Im Bereich IT kenne ich 'intuitive' auch schriftlích.
little: not quite

... apart from not being very intuitive, the interface...

Stimme Claus zu - intuitive wird auch schriftlich verwendet. Ist die Schnittstelle wenig intuitiv, oder garnicht? The interface lacks both intuitivity and whatever ??

@#4
Carly, is 'intuitivity' a real word?

fairfax, It probably isn't, but it's used in the "IT world" - first google hit under this link is an Apple website :-)

Well, yes, I had never seen it before (with 'intuitiveness' being the noun that usually goes with 'intuitive'). I also googled around a bit just now and it seems to be a newfangled artificial word used by some people, particularly some in the IT world. I wonder why 'intuitiveness' wouldn't do for them...

@Claus: Ja, intuitive bzw. intuitiv wird verwendet, aber sowohl im Englischen als auch im Deutschen scheint mir unintuive bzw. unintuitiv weniger gebräuchlich.

@Carly: Der ursprüngliche Satz sagt aus, dass die Schnittstelle gar nicht intuitiv bedienbar ist. Aus diplomatischen Gründen ;o) würde ich aber gering/wenig intuitiv bevorzugen, bspw.: "Abgesehen davon, dass die Schnittstelle nur in geringem Maße intuitiv bedienbar ist, fehlen ... ."

fairfax, Because it goes well with usability? :-) I worked in the IT dept. (as a PA) for almost 9 years, and saw this word on a daily basis - never thought about it not being a "real" word until you asked :-)

apart from being not conducive to intuitive use.... etc.

hannes, Could you then say: Apart from showing little intuitivity, the interface also/furthermore lacks...?

HI noli, Long time, no see!

hannes, noli's suggestion is better than mine - The only thing I'd change (and this is probably a personal preference) would be: Apart from not being conductive to...

hi carly - r u really settled in ur new abode?

OT - noli, I'm getting there - need to re-arrange furniture (can't do that by myself, too heavy!) and then I can get my pictures, mirrors, ect. hung - but the basics are finished :-)

Okay, i'll take that one then.


Thanks a lot.

OT- great - the worst is over - imo moving can kill.
good to see u ...

Sorry, Carly, but fairfax's "apart from not being very intuitive, the interface bla-bla" sounds far more natural to me than something involving a German-type noun construction, no matter whether it's "intuitivity" or "intuitiveness". Apart from having little intuivity/intuitiveness? Not something I would write anyway, sorry:-).
Shouldn't you be checking out the French forum;-)?

@Anne + fairfax, My apologies! It was late and I was so concentrated on "intuitivity" that I completely overlooked fairfax's suggestion, which is the best :-)

Changed it.

Thanks again.
