difference between personal and private

personal - (хувь хүнийн, тухайн хүнд хамааралтай)Personal : you can share with your friends and personal stuff can be showed to someone, like cellphone, ipad or a ps2. u love it, and its ur own personal thing
[only before noun] your own; not belonging to or connected with anyone else
          --- personal details (= your name, age, etc.)
private - (хувийн хэрэг, хувийн амьний асуудал)Private : you keep it with yourself and  others dont even know about it. its like a secret for example your financial status,credit card number, pin numbers
 [usually before noun] belonging to or for the use of a particular person or group; not for public use
          --- Those are my father's private papers.


Personal/private

("I'd like to know what she's like in her personal/private life."

Is there a difference between "personal" and "private" in this particular example?)

  • The two words are basically the same. There is perhaps only a slight shade of difference, in my opinion

    Private life could be talking about aspects of her life that very few or no one else knows about. A person's private life would include thoughts, habits, and activities that almost no one else knows about. 

    Personal life could be something that many more people would be aware of. This is not so restrictive, I think. A person's personal life might include more public aspects of their life: where they live, where they go out to eat, hobbies, what general or professional organizations they are active in, etc. 



What is the difference between Personal and Private?

  • Personal : you can share with your friends 
    Private : you keep it with yourself

  • personal stuff can be showed to someone, like cellphone, ipad or a ps2. u love it, and its ur own personal thing. 

    private however is when only u have the access to it. others dont even know about it. its like a secret

what is the difference between personal and private??? THX


  • Personal information includes things such your sexual preference, your marital status, home address, phone number, basically anything that the general public does not need to know about you. 

    Private information is things like your financial status,credit card number, pin numbers, computer passwords or anything that people should not have access to.

  • If something is personal, no one else has any business knowing your personal affairs. Something can be sensitive to you, and it should not be discussed by other people. You could say, "that's personal". Don't ask questions that are personal". 

    If something is private, you don't want anyone to know about it. You might tell just your closest friend about something private, but you also tell them, "don't say a word about this....let's keep it private". It's a secret. Some things you don't tell people about. It is a private matter.

  • the internet says about private and personal info: personal information includes topics such your sexual preference, the status of your parents relationship, basically anything like that that the general public would not NEED to know about you. Private information is things like your credit card numbers, etc, or anything that people SHOULD not know about you. 
    One more thing: Personal : you can share with your friends 
    Private : you keep it with yourself 
    Hope it will help you
