*Extinct. "Extincted" isn't a word. =P

Is not active?

[zhivoi]

I think that "extincted" is correct in this situation.

It is a passive form, not active. This animal was exincted because of human activity, it did not want to exinct actively.

Nope, sorry. Extinct is the adjective. It's correct to say "extinct cat" just like you would say "orange cat". :)

But neat entry all the same.

[zhivoi]

Ok, thanks

No, "extincted" is not a word. It's "extinct." Trust us on this.

Re: Is not active?

[zhivoi]

It seems that it is adjective. See up to you comment

Re: Is not active?

[willowwpryce]

Except that "extincted" is literally not a word. It appears in no dictionary that I can find evidence of.

Re: Is not active?

[zhivoi]

Yes, of course.

It is not a main form of the verb, it should not be in dictionary.

Re: Is not active?

[willowwpryce]

it's not ANY form of the word. It's just simply NOT a word.

it should be

[zhivoi]

It must be.

Imagine, if this animal is extinct, it should the verb to describe what has happend with this animal.

t would be very strage if this verb does not exist in english.

Re: it should be

[willowwpryce]

It just doesn't. And I'm pretty sure that all forms of the word would be in the dictionary whether it were an adjective or a verd. And it's neither. Because it's nothing .

Re: it should be

[willowwpryce]

*verb, rather

[darkcrispy]

in this case the English language appears to have become Extinct.
