| May 18, 2019 at 20:21 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | The main point, beyond anything else, is why you think they mean the same thing. You've provided definitions for determinant and determinative, which is good, but you haven't provided a definition for decisive yet. (I don't agree that they mean "exactly the same thing," but I'm curious to know why you think they do.) | |
| May 18, 2019 at 20:16 | comment | added | A-friend | Thank you @Jason Bassford. That was a good point and I will do that. But the problem is that they all mean the same thing for me. Why I have to devide this thread into two separated questions. Instead, I think that it would be better if I make this question more specific focusing all the four concepts. Do you agree? If you confirm that, I will do my best to change the question in the way I mentioned. :) | |
| May 18, 2019 at 18:28 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | So you are contrasting determinative with decisive? You need to rephrase your question so that's clear. But you also shouldn't be asking two questions. Pick one or the other (the difference between determinative and decisive or the difference between determinative and determinant). Make this question about just one, and post a separate question for the other. And if you do think that determinative and decisive mean the same thing, you should provide dictionary definitions that support that claim. | |
| May 18, 2019 at 18:23 | comment | added | A-friend | Not at all @Jason Bassford. They mean very similar things to me. A decisive factor based on dictionaries means too close to a crucial factor as well as a determinative factor. "Determinant" is a noun which can surve as a "determinative factor" to me. | |

| May 18, 2019 at 17:11 | comment | added | Jason Bassford | Is the use of decisive in your question a typo? Because decisive means something different from determinative. | |
