Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how non-transitif appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
L’inégalité n’est pas une relation transitive; elle n’est pas non plus intransitive. En effet, si x≠y et si y≠z, alors on ne peut rien dire sur l’inégalité de x et z (ils peuvent être différents ou non). C’est pourquoi l’inégalité est dite non-transitive.
