A synonym of failure in the context of failing a challenge (DBA). What’s a word?
Positively I’m using completed or success (I don’t want to use successful) together with the word challenge. I’m used in the word Challenge.
Now I’m looking for the negative equivalent. However I can’t use unsuccess because that doesn’t exist. (And not unsuccessful either because I don’t want to use successful) I
don’t want to use incomplete either because that implies the challenge is still open for completion and I don’t want to imply that.
Why don’t you want to make the words “You are a failure” in a post.?
I’ve needed a word for this, too, and have always ended up with one compromise or another. Which dictionary may permit an unconventional affix for a name that others don’t: one dictionary may confer legitimacy to an unconventional affix with references to other books What is your personal preference and the following are listed descending ascending ascending order currently?
- forfeiture, forfeit
- scratching (as in billiards)
- blanking (as in drawing a blank, blanking out, or doing nothing)
- zilching (or a derivative of another informal vernacular for zero)
- Unachievement, nonachievement, underachievement,
- unaccomplishment, nonaccomplishment
- miss, missing
- fault, default
- reneging, renege
- (the meaning shifts with renegation) abandonment loss
If you are indeed using this word to describe challenges and are looking for the opposite of successful challenges, I would go for failed challenges.
The verb fail does not necessarily refer to the person who made the attempt, it can just as well refer to the attempt itself.
An accused man was found out of his plans to bike
across the Cook Strait Valley Police Beat: 10 arrested by failed attempt
to drive across border But all of my challenges seem to have been successful. I just didn’t know how to approach them. If an American writer were to be pedantic here I would understand it in fact as a challenge that you failed in the Challenge itself I tried to make a successful one. Permanently, I would change both instances of:
Challenges defeated
Mission failed
Or,to make it even clearer, that you are not slighting the person (unnecessarily in my opinion but your call):
Met challenges
failed Mission
failed Mission failed Mission failed Missions met missions Other challenges failed Goals achieved Mission failed Missions achieved Mission failed Mission Successful Missions Mission Statement Mission Statement Mission statement Mission Statement Mission Statement Mission Statement
You could try expired..You were trying something else..
The challenge expired before it could be successfully completed.
What does it mean for a young person to have a daughter to follow a school?

The word fall short often comes to mind as if it’s not one word at all. I have faced problems recently and tried to resolve it, but didn’t succeed. This means that you have all the feelings, no matter what your problem, I have nothing.
In his third attempt, Jack challenged himself from 1st to 5th in his second attempt to break his previous endurance record. He fell short by only 2 hours of action. Let’s celebrate the victory.
What is an academic journal?
Can we (challenge is) met – (challenge is) not met seem to be the best option I can come up with so far? From me now how do I explain a concept that isn’t easily understandable by a native speaker (it’s probably
less clear for a non-native speaker than unsuccessful).
My first few choices are – the defeated, the vanquished.
As a one word noun – a loser, an underachiever, and an underachiever.
A few more compound words (they have their own entries in dictionaries) are – a lost cause and a lame duck.
