What is the opposite of free as in free of charge (when we speak about prices)
We can add not for negation, but i am looking for a single word.
' free ' absolutely means 'free from any sorts constraints or controls The context determines its different denotations, if any, as in 'free press', 'fee speech', 'free stuff' etc. My company gives out free promotional items with the company name on it Is this stuff called company swag or schwag
It seems that both come up as common usages—google searching indicates that the I want to make a official call and ask the other person whether he is free or not at that particular time I think asking, “are you free now?” does't sound formal So, are there any alternatives to.
I don't think there's any difference in meaning, although free of charges is much less common than free of charge
Regarding your second question about context Given that english normally likes to adopt the shortest phrasing possible, the longer form free of charge can be used as a means of drawing attention to the lack of demand for. If you are storing documents, however, you should choose either the mediumtext or longtext type 1 i was looking for a word for someone that is really into getting free things, that doesn't necessarily carry a negative connotation
