detail

Examples

.

He told the story with every detail.

.

That detail seems important to me.

.

We do not have time for all the details.

detale.

She described the room in great detail.

.

One important detail was missing from the letter.

The adverb is where this root pays off: detale means in detail, and it replaces the English prepositional phrase with a single word, so detale beats any attempt to translate "describe in detail" piece by piece. Detala is the adjective for a detailed account, and detali as a verb means to set something out point by point. Resist building on the English pattern; it is understandable but nobody writes it.
