Uncallous

No, those words are rarely heard. The dictionary lists words such as soft, sensitive and sympathetic as synonyms which are heard in everyday speech.

Can I still use them for literary purpose?

avid learnerI wonder, are "uncallous" and its derivatives (uncallousness, uncallously) words in standard English?

Uncallous/uncallousness/uncallously aren't words in English.

I would say no. I did find the three forms you cited in one dictionary, but most would not consider them real words. And those three forms failed my spellchecker too.

Please give me the link or its name..

prajwalkrThe opposite of callous , though very rarely used, would be uncalloused.

I think uncalloused is the opposite of calloused whose meaning is more specific then callous.

Refer: http://www.au

Search Dictionary.com for "callous". It'll provide definitions and cite the following "related forms" without definitions:

un·cal·lous, adjective
un·cal·lous·ly, adverb
un·cal·lous·ness, noun

You can form any word you like with affixes. It's up to you to ensure that the reader will know what you mean, though. Dictionaries do not list every word it is possible to make that way, for the obvious reason. "Uncallous" obviously means "not callous", so you're good to go.

im looking for a word that could be used to describe a kid who really wants something so he steals someones wallet to get what he wants... but if he had the choice to not steal anything and still get the shoes he would not steal.... maybe unexpeirienced... immature?
