Usually people see infinity as the same concept as unlimited, but is that true? what separates the two
 
Infinity as a baseline is atleast aleph 0 which is the set of natural numbers while unlimited or maybe endless is finite but it's cardinallity continues to increase, but still a finite nonetheless.
 
Infinite is unlimited

Dont know what the different between they
Them being the same is case by case, unlimited is more of akin to endless which is not the same unless if there are given context on a verse to assume so.
 
Endless and infinite are literally same by default in current standard so unlimited will not be different

can you each time comment stop using math???, it is seriously could annoying people. Also math have nothing to do with the sematic of endless, unlimited and infinite. Finite doesn't mean endless, since finite have an end, even if it is continuously expanding to infinite which is ad-infinitum, it is still have an end, just that "end" constantly expand to infinity
 
Damn i didn't know that, where can i see this thread?

I'll try.

Ad-infinitum seems to be the same as endless to me, but ok.

Unlimited and Infinite inherently mean the same thing; Endless is also supposed to be a synonym, but there are others who are knit picky with that definition. But it does when describing linear objects, but Endless can more so having no tips or edges and that it simply loops endlessly like a circle rather than actually being infinite in scale. But other issues is people say "It's prone to hyperbole" which even infinite, limitless, and unlimited are too technically. So Endless can either mean a really big number, or infinite. Countless usually just means, the number is so big, any normal person would lose track of counting before they reach the end.

But infinite can also not mean infinite. So everything must go to the context
 
Huh? Did you mean it could be flowery language or something?
It chould be mean ad-infinitum (infinitely), or something like that

Like endless
There are different between endless and endlessly

I mean this could be the case if there are supporting evidence to assume so, but i think stating infinite should qualify as infinite as long as there is no contradiction on that.

(Otherwise probably most H1-B characters in a verse would not be H1-B.)

Yeah, infinite is infinite by default if we take literal meaning, so is endless and unlimited
