Grammar
insensible to/insensitive to
Hi
Please tell me the difference.
1.He is insensible to her feelings.
2.He is insensitive to her feelings.
My guess: I think 1 means he is not able to understand her feelings. And, 2 means he, though understands her feelings, is not bothered about it.

Yes, that is as the dictionaries all say. I'm not sure why you have asked us.

Thank you,sir.
I have been using the word insensitive for a long time. Though I know that there is a word insensible I haven't it used it often and I don't remember even once using insensible to. This phrase was in an exercise the students were given. I looked at the dictionary and felt understood the meaning. I wanted to know if they were OK in the sentences I used them.
