Flimsy meaning


Flimsy is an adjective that describes something that is weak, fragile, or easily broken. It can also refer to something that is poorly constructed or not sturdy. If you are looking to use the word flimsy in a sentence, there are a few tips that can help you to do so effectively.


1. Understand the meaning of the word Before you can use the word flimsy in a sentence, it is important to understand its meaning. Flimsy refers to something that is weak or poorly constructed.
