Does Undead NOT mean those who are NOT Dead?

[thearchjoker]

Undead means those resurrected by unholy means thus skeletons, lich, vampires, revenants, specters, haunted armours, are all undead while if a person or demigod is resurrected via holy means like Hercules who was turned into a god after he died is not a undead even though he died and is now not dead

What are you talking about, man? Bullllssssshiiitttttt

[Vivaldi]

Dead is for those who've passed away

Undead must be opposite?

[Opinion Owner]

Dead is dead.

[Vivaldi]

Undead is not dead?

[Opinion Owner]

Undead means living.

[Opinion Owner]

You have no idea about English

[Vivaldi]

It turned out it meant different. Things like zombies instead.

[Vivaldi]

Which made me confused

[Opinion Owner]

This is complete nonsense.

[Vivaldi]

Then I am neither dead nor undead if it meant things like zombies

[Opinion Owner]

Do you think you are a philosopher? You talk like you've been labotomized.

[Vivaldi]

I turned out undead meant different.

A zombie is both dead and living. So undead turned out to mean this.

[Vivaldi]

Write "undead" in English dictionary. And translate it to your native langauge.

[Vivaldi]

Or do Engilsh to English translation

[Opinion Owner]

What's wrong with you, man?

[Vivaldi]

Undead means the living dead.

A zombie is a living dead.

[gatixek710]

Not in the context of horror fiction.

[Vivaldi]

I am neither dead nor undead. I am no zombie.

[Vivaldi]

I did know it meant the living dead

[jahaims]

It means dead but animate

[Vivaldi]

So things like zombies?

[jahaims]

Yeah and vampires

[Vivaldi]

I see

[morganherrel]

You are NOT a real person for asking this

[Vivaldi]

Why?

[Vivaldi]

If dead is those who died, then undead is those who did not die. Opposite.

[morganherrel]

Yup, then you have no reason to ask this question.

Fwiw, here are some concepts to help you:
1) polar opposite =/= logical opposite
2) undead is those who did not die =/= those who did not die are undead

[Vivaldi]

It turns out undead means the living dead such as a zombie

[morganherrel]

good job bro xD

[Vivaldi]

This means that I am neither dead nor undead

[Vivaldi]

I am no zombie
