Soal Principal vs. Principle
Pengertian dan Penggunaan Principal dan Principle
Principal dan principle adalah homophone, yaitu kata-kata yang pelafalannya (sound) sama namun artinya (meaning) berbeda. Karena pelafalan yang sama itulah penggunaan kata-kata ini rentan tertukar.
- [UK] a college or university
- [US] a school,
sedangkan sebagai adjective “most important, main” (paling penting, utama) dengan posisi attributive (sebelum noun).
Berbeda dengan principal, principle selalu noun, tidak pernah adjective. Maknanya “a basic truth” (prinsip dasar) atau “a moral rule or belief that influences one’s behavior” (aturan moral atau keyakinan yang mempengaruhi perilaku seseorang).
