Thanks.

	YoungBuddy  +  874961 Wed, 26 Aug 09 03:41 AM Unannounced (adjective) Happening without anyone being told or warned in advance  AAA arrives unannounced means that AAA arrives without anyone being told or notified. Another example: He just showed up unannounced on my doorstep. ( He came without telling me before ) YoungBuddy Joined on Sun, Aug 16 2009 Full Member 215 Adjectives

	Angliholic  +  874994 Wed, 26 Aug 09 04:11 AM Thanks, YoungBuddy.   Is it right and idiomatic to say "he was an unanounced visitor" or " ... a visitor unanounced?"   He just showed up unannounced on my doorstep. ( He came without telling me before ) Angliholic
