Hi everybody,
Have we got any informal, more handy words for "Mutual", and "Unilateral" ? Are these two words considered antonyms in English? So many Thanks

Dear Mehrgan:

Hi everybody,
Have we got any informal, more handy words for "Mutual", and "Unilateral" ? Are these two words considered antonyms in English? So many Thanks

Mutual: shared, common, reciprocal

Unilateral: one-sided

The words certainly represent differing ways of approaching an issue, but whether they are exact antonyms, I'm not sure.

I hope this is helpful,

Petra
