Questions about example sentences with, and the definition and usage of "Checkup"
Synonyms of "Checkup" and their differences
Q:
Qual é a diferença entre checkup e inspection e examination ?
A:
These three can mean the same thing when talking about BODY checkups. However, each can be used in slightly different ways.
Checkup:
Can only be used when doing a "checkup" of a living thing.
eg. "I'm gonna get a checkup on Wednesday." or "My dog is gonna get a checkup on Wednesday"
Inspection:
A bit more detailed than a "checkup" when referring to living things. Can be used for non living things.
eg. "I'm gonna get my colon inspected on Wednesday." or "My house is gonna get an inspection on Wednesday".
Examination:
A bit more detailed than "checkup", a bit less detailed than "inspection" when referring to living things. Can be used for non living things but only if you participate and get a ranking/grade.
eg. "I'm gonna get my lungs examined on Wednesday." or "I have an English proficiency examination Wednesday"
It's unnatural to say:
"My house is gonna get an examination/checkup on Wednesday"
Because checkup is usually used for living things only, and examination means you need to participate and get a grade. But your house getting inspected doesn't need you to do anything.
"I have an English proficiency inspection/checkup on Wednesday"
Is also unnatural because checkup is used for living things only, and your English proficiency involves YOU and YOU get a grade for it.
These are still OK:
"I'm getting a colon checkup on Wednesday."
"I'm gonna get a lung checkup on Wednesday"
But these feel less serious compared to Inspection/Examination.
